IBMR IN THE NEWS

IBMR B-School was regularly in news, with leading local dailies like Deccan Herald regularly bringing

out reports and photographs of various events and happenings at the vibrant B-School.

IBMR thanks all the media personnel for always being there as trusted friends and especially for their

continuous support with media coverage. (Collage By: Fabin Kennedy James)

FRESHER’S DAY: ‘IBMR EXPRESS’ LAUNCHED

IBMR has always come up with ‘out-of- the-box’ ideas for their Fresher’s Day parties hosted by the

seniors for their juniors. This year the juniors felt transported to the platform of bustling railway

station, complete with railway tracks, refreshments stalls, hawkers, signal posts, ticket counters and

to top it all the bilingual announcements in the perfect ‘Indian railway style’! Inspired from the

movie ‘Chennai Express’, the party really made the icebreaking hugely entertaining. Kudos to the

seniors for the event planning and management.

‘DISHA’ – A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

The postgraduate students of IBMR

were welcomed with an orientation

session which briefed them about the

institute and also gave them a taste of

the corporate world. The students found

the stress management sessions

extremely useful. Following the

orientation, the students were taken on

a tour of Bangalore city.

VISIT TO RADIO STATION

To get a taste of the entertainment

media industry, IBMR students visited

the Radio Indigo 91.9 FM, the first and

only international music station.

They were welcomes by the program

director Kiran Sridhar who introduced

them to the various departments and

functions of an FM station.

Students had an interactive session on

the scope of managerial jobs and

career opportunities in the radio

industry.

CSR

IBMR students visited the Centre for Social

Action, an NGO in LR Nagar slum area in

Bangalore, which is engaged in providing

education and sustenance for the

underprivileged children through their day care

centres, talent programmes and welfare funds.

INDUSTRY EXPOSURES

IBMR students visited The Printers Mysore Pvt. Ltd.

& also Unique Steels – two very different sectors to

get exposure into the real life business

environment. Both the visits added new

experiences for the students as these were not the

usual industries generally visited by business

management students.

‘PRADERA’ – THE FEST Students of IBMR were an excited lot as they took part in Pradera, a one-day intra-college

fest. As the name suggests, Pradera stands for the freshness of the meadows and was apt for

the youthful energy that the students gave to a first-time fest that they were organizing.

The fest divided into ‘Savana’ (Human Resources Events); ‘Steppes’ (Marketing Events);

‘Cerrados’ (Finance Events); ‘Llanos’ (Cultural Events) and ‘Pampus’ (Mad Ads) brought the

post-graduate students together for a day marked by learning and fun.

The first half of the day saw the students battling with their wit, wisdom and management ideas in

competitions organized by the marketing, finance and HR clubs, from virtual trading to brand

debates.

The evening was marked by a colourful cultural show with students grooving to popular

bollywood numbers, songs in English and regional languages, humorous skits and madads.
