This week was damn crazy. We were evaluating applications of prospective candidates, submitting analysis of cases, playing frisbee whenever there was time, preparing one page write-ups for projects due at the end of the term. in fact, i just dont remember a lot of things that happened.
we played on this software called "industryplayer" organised by IIMA for their annual event. it was something totally different from markstrat. markstrat was extremely painful. it makes you do all the nonsense. but this was one was more macro level. we had to make industry level decisions like buying and selling of companies. and how to consolidate companies and things like that. so that went on for a few nights.
then we had NS Bala from wipro who had come to campus to give a talk to us. we'd done a wipro case study last term about their factory model. so it was good to see the person who was involved in the case study.
we also kicked off a toastmasters meeting for this term. i got a chance to talk on an extempore topic called "Laloo Prasad Yadav is the new Options and Futures Professor at the ISB". that was good fun. i got great positive feedback from others about my three minute talk.
then there was the awesome bartending workshop. we learnt to make a few drinks. got to taste the drinks as well. this was organized by Smirnoff and we had a great time.
we had presentations back to back - for our project first and then our business plan. we also had to evaluate other projects and b-plans. it was just crazy.
the volleyball fever has started. the court is ready. for the next two or three days, everyone would play volleyball and then they will stop after that, get back to their normal routine of banging on the books.
a few international firms have started coming to campus. people have started submitting their resume.
