Uthaan
Purpose:

Utthaan aims to promote positive relationships for underprivileged and orphaned children and
encourage each child’s sense of individual worth. The event also aims at fostering a learning
environment for the children whilst providing a platform for them to showcase their innate talent and
abilities to the outside world.

Description:

Utthaan-2015 just got bigger and better. Hosted by the Social Responsibility Committee and Rotaract
Club of SIBM, Bengaluru, it was one of its kind in helping the underprivileged kids to have an action
packed day.

This year 112 kids from 6 different orphanages aged 7 to 13 visited our campus. The theme was
associated with “Jungle” and volunteers made the campus attractive, showcasing wildlife with their
creative ideas.

Utthaan was declared open by Rotarian Sameer Hariaini who encouraged children to participate
enthusiastically in all the events lined for the day. The event started with an energetic performance by –
Jhankaar, the dance club of SIBM, Bengaluru. Talent show consisted of singing, dance, skit performed
by children of these shelter homes setting the perfect tone for the day.

Painting competition started soon after the talent show. The children portrayed various sketches under
the topic “My dream” bringing a flavour of creativity and artistic beauty in each drawing.

The lunch was followed soon, where volunteers took great enthusiasm in serving food. Washing hands
for 5 times a day -after breakfast, lunch, dinner, and toilet and during bath keeps a child healthy and
increases immunity. We had a session after lunch with children making them aware about the importance
of hand wash. A catchy jingle was composed to educate the children about the importance of cleanliness.

Soon after this session, children were divided into a group of 7 for fun based activities and educational
sessions. With various fun activity based games like Balloon Phuss, Dog and Bone, Memory Flip, Twister,
and Bucket Sponge along with educational segments - Traffic signal awareness, Educational videos,
children were engaged to enjoy to their core. It is inevitable to mention that this segment was a joyful
experience not only for the kids but also for the volunteers involved.

After a two and half hour long fun and educational events, children were tired and hungry. They were
served with noodles and fruit juices as evening snacks. Soon the world of magic was opened out at the
amphitheatre. Bringing precision in each of his skills, the magician engaged the kids, surprising and
tricking them every time.

The closing ceremony commenced with announcement of winners of earlier held painting competition.
A framed group photo of children of various participating orphanages were presented to the caretakers of
the respective orphanages as a token of love and appreciation. The fun filled day of Utthaan ended with
the distribution of goodie bags to each participant at around 5 PM.

This event marked a memorable experience in the minds of children from participating orphanages who
won’t forget the day for a long time to come and for the student volunteers who got an opportunity to
spend their time with these special kids.

SIBM Bengaluru successfully held its Annual Management Conclave, Alchemy – two day
management conclave that provides a quality platform for eminent speakers to share industry
insights with students. This year’s theme for Alchemy was "Quo Vadis India?".

India remains a bright spot in IMF’s global economic forecast of 2016-17. We are pegged as
one of the fastest growing economies in the world. On the other hand, the parity gap between
the rich and poor continues to widen. Our Prime Minister’s bold step of demonetization to
eradicate black money has been received with both, appreciation and criticism. Will India truly
win the fight against black money and corruption? Will India sustain its position as a global
superpower?
We have a lot of work to do to sustain and accelerate India’s growth in the world economy.
Therefore, the question remains; can India invert the sceptics' argument?

TEDxSIBMBengaluru 2017 – Beyond

Imagination
Public Relations and Media Committee, SIBM Bengaluru

What happens when you put a social entrepreneur, a humanitarian, a musician, a retired army
officer, a Jal Tarang player, a television personality, a professional Squash player, a techie and the
world’s most followed Quora writer together? - It is simply Beyond Imagination.
This is what happened at the 6th edition of TEDxSIBMBengaluru that was hosted on
18thFebruary, 2017 at Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM), Bengaluru Campus.
With the theme this year being Beyond Imagination, TEDxSIBMBengaluru’s raison d’etrewas to
enkindle a sentiment that there is no limit to the creative ideas that can be generated.
11 stalwart speakers with illustrious careers gathered this year at SIBM Bengaluru to inspire the
audience and students alike with their musings and cognitions.
What better way to start a TEDx talk than with an individual with a vision for the future - Mr.
Samit Choksi, Cofounder of Thinkphi, a clean technology company. Mr. Choksi’s discourse was
centred on his innovation - The Ulta Chaata, and the way discovery and continuous innovation can
lead us to create a better society.
The second speaker of the day was Major General Gagandeep Bakshi who instilled patriotism in
each person through fascinating stories during his stint in the Indian Army. As a leader of several
life challenging missions, Major General G.D. Bakshi spoke about the importance of ‘Management
by Objectives’.

‘Believe, Fight and Enjoy’ was the message that Mr. Saurav Ghosal emphasized on and spoke at
élan about his journey to success. A professional Squash player, Mr. Ghosal iterated on the
importance of perseverance, dreams and hard work to seize the moment and make each day
count. Mr. Sameer Dhanrajani, Business Leader at Cognizant focussed on ‘Analytics’, the
technology of the day. He quoted, “Data is the new oil and ‘Digital’ is the new currency”.
TEDxSIBMBengaluru 2017 not only focussed on talks, but also provided a platform where the
audience heard spellbinding music of the rare Indian instrument, the Jal Tarang. Pandit Milind
Tulankar mesmerized the audience with his mellifluous music which drove his statement, ‘Music
is the best therapy for the soul.’
"I want to fulfil the dream of Mahatma Gandhi to remove untouchability in India", said Dr.
Bindeshwar Pathak during his discourse at TEDxSIBMBengaluru 2017. His beautiful message for
the audience, among many others was, ‘If one person helps the other, the world will be a happier
place.’

A touching quote can change mindsets in a matter of seconds or put you deep in thought. This is
exactly how Mr. Deepak Solanki started off, “We began our journey not knowing where to stay,
but with confidence we began”. He aims to improve connectivity of the internet and data transfer
and revolutionize the entire way of how we see the ‘Internet of Things’.
Mr. Balaji Viswanathan, with more than 2,70,000 followers & a million credits is the most
followed author/profile on Quora, worldwide. His articles have been published in Forbes, The
Huffington Post, Fortune and many more. He questioned “As time progressed, AI has made its
presence felt even more. Who is going to be responsible for laws impacting robots and automatic
beings?”
Ms. Sunaina Pamudurthy, a Social Activist, was a part of the Team NanoMADs, the first Indian
Team to complete 18,200 Km Mongol Rally, spanning across 13 countries from London to
Mongolia and 48 days on the road, in an all Indian car Tata Nano Twist. Her inspiring quote, “Fear
is not the first emotion that hits me, it’s surely confidence” seemed to have raised the audience’s
spirit of self-confidence.
Mr. Prakash Belawadi, a theatre, film, television and media personality enlightened the audience
about the emergence of Interactive Cinema. He added that ‘Interactive Cinema’ will become the
defining art of the 21st century where viewers would even get to choose the ending they like! He
ended on an intriguing note - “What if the movie is watching you?”

Mr. Ehsaan Noorani, part of the iconic music trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, went on to brief the
enchanted audience about the making of the ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ soundtrack over a three day trip with
Farhan Akhtar. He added that he really connected with the theme ‘Beyond Imagination’ and
described his childhood experiences and his love for music.

The organizing team left no stone unturned to create the most magical artistry of sorts. The TEDx
Signature board did not come by easy as it took 2700 paper cups, 50 bottles of paint, and 20 days
of hard work, which poured in with just one idea, and the result - A masterpiece was made.
 UTOPIA 2016

Over 596 Students from 25 Countries participate in Utopia 2016 making it a grand
success
Utopia is the International Cultural Fest of SIBM Bengaluru

Bengaluru: On 31st July, 2016, Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Bengaluru

witnessed the euphoria of international students at Utopia 2016, The International Cultural
Fest, which is being held since 2012.

Utopia, hosted by the International Relations Committee (IRC) is one of the biggest events
organized by SIBM-Bengaluru. It is an event organized for international students studying
across Bengaluru city and draws participation from them. This event aims to foster a
relationship of celebration, trust and happiness between the students of SIBM-B and the
international students.
The theme for Utopia 2016 was “Imaginem Plena- The complete spectrum” which very
beautifully captured our impetus behind Utopia. Imaginem Plena encompasses the complete
spectrum of emotions and cultures that the event seeks to unite under one roof. The essence
of every culture lies in the beauty of the variety of beliefs and practices it contains. Through
the eyes of Utopia 2016-Imaginem Plena, we acquainted ourselves with the diversities of the
world.
Over 596 students from 25 countries participated in a rhapsody of 14 different cultural and
sports events. The students were predominantly from African and Asian sub-continents like
Nigeria, Afghanistan, Nepal, Mauritius, Congo, etc.
The event started with the inauguration ceremony at 10:00 AM where we primed our
international audience with the vision and mission of 'Symbiosis' that was conceived by
Padmabhushan Dr. S.B. Mujumdar in the year 1971. Our motto of “home away from home”
was emphasised by a video and a connection was drawn between our motto and the impetus
behind UTOPIA. The event started by the lighting of the lamp by our respected Director SIBM
Bengaluru-Dr.Rajesh Panda, Deputy Director SIBM Bengaluru-Prof. A Vidyasagar and Faculty
Mentor (IRC)- Dr.Asha Nadig. Dr. Asha Nadig addressed the audience with her kind words.
Subsequent to this, an inaugural dance was perfomed by the students of SIBM-B in which was
a blend of the two richest dance styles of India, Kathak from the North India and Bharatanatyam
from the South India on one single platform. At the close of the inaugural dance,

In the wake of the inauguration ceremony, a sizzling Ramp Walk followed in which students
from different colleges set the stage on fire. The winning team – ‘Biodegradable’, from Bishop
Cotton Women’s Christian College had an eco-friendly theme ‘Poupees de Papier’ where they
flaunted clothes decorated with newspapers. Team ‘Panache’ from Jain University finished as
the runners up.
Simultaneously sports lovers had their share of fun by participating and spectating in sports
events - Alley Oop (Basketball) and Goaltastic (Futsal). The team from St. Hopkins College
secured the winner’s Goaltastic trophy, but not before they were given a run for their money
by team CMS from Jain University, who finished as the runners up. The team Sindhi College
secured winners trophy for Alley Oop followed by team SFS college for runners up.
The International Food Festival was a treat for the foodies as they could taste various cuisines
of the world. The MIME was the one of most mesmerizing performances of the Fest, wherein
they enacted a beautiful script on ‘Lives may fade, Smile shall never’, moving the audience to
tears.
Talentino, the performing arts event under Utopia, saw Jain University emerge victorious,
while Indus Business Academy finished as the runners up. As the evening progressed, the
audience were enthralled by songs, dances and special talents showcased during the event.
Utopia 2016 also witnessed a Flash Mob, ‘Minute to Win it’ games, and PS4 Gaming
competition. ‘afterdark War of the DJs’ was one of the iconic events at Utopia 2016, in which
a head-on collision of the coolest DJs was witnessed by the audience as they grooved to their
beats.
As the fest came to an end, the folks at SIBM Bengaluru once again drove home the message
“We were born in different shades, but now we come together to form the complete
spectrum”.
The sponsors for the event were: Hard Rock Café and Resonance studios presenting
‘afterdark War of the DJs’, Pantaloons – our fashion partner, Adore Unisex Salon – our
styling partner and PlayStation- our gaming partner.

SIBM Bengaluru successfully held its Annual Management Conclave, Alchemy – two day management conclave
that provides a quality platform for eminent speakers to share industry insights with students. This year’s theme
for Alchemy was "Vivartanam Bharate".

In order to adapt to change, one needs to be aware of the change. In this era of information dominance, it is
becoming important that we keep track of changes around us and their consequences at both macro and micro
level.

In the midst of the rapid changes brought about by revolution in information technology and the growing
globalization, enormous economical as well as technological transformation is occurring in all spheres. The last
two years have seen remarkable changes in India's development paradigm. With demonetization and GST being
implemented, a majority of industries have undergone reforms. Significant progress has been observed in the
technology sector, albeit at the same time, Indians are still in the process of accepting these changes.

Vivartanam Bharate, aims at understanding the implications of these changes and embracing them with open
arms. Vivartanam means “Transformation”. How these changes are going to significantly impact the various
ongoing developments in the country and to what extent, is the topic of concern. The speakers for this year
were:

Panel Discussion 1:Technological Singularity

The panel threw light on what the effect of AI will be on different sectors. There was the mention of IBM’s Watson and its
effect on the healthcare sector and how it is helping in improving the efficiency of the existing doctors. From the banking
perspective, AI is likely to provide more customer satisfaction but will also lead to the unlearning and relearning from the
employee's’ point of view. They also talked about Fintech and digital transactions and its likely impact on cash transactions
in future. The speakers quoted the example of Amazon prime while touching upon the logistics sector, and how AI is going
to recalibrate the way people work. They also emphasized on the fact of being informed and the importance of adaptability
and how, otherwise, it could create a fear for AI. Social and financial impacts of technology were discussed and how it’s
going to reduce the risk and unpredictability in our lives was also talked about. Interdisciplinary thinking and machine
intelligence were some other topics discussed under this panel which eventually ended with a Q&A session.

Keynote Address
Mr. C. Rammanohar Reddy

C. Ram Manohar Reddy, Editor of The Wire, explaining about Financial inclusion said that it is the programme that began
in 1969 which merely does not include opening of bank accounts but also encapsulates various associated services. In
1969, just about 20% of population was covered by the formal financial sector. Progress shifted gears after 1969, first
urban and semi urban areas were touched upon and then rural areas were covered. In March 2015. Only 53% of household
had a bank account. Talking about multiple aspects of Financial inclusion, he segregated Access facility into 3 heads;
contingency planning, credit and wealth creation. He lauded various government initiatives like limited KYC, push to ‘No
frills accounts’, PMJDY etc that facilitates financial inclusion and as a resultant significant progress was achieved
by 2014. On other hand, he listed the limitations of PMJDY stating figures from the field report that 33% of PMJDY accounts
already had a bank account, accounts of women, rural and BPL households more likely to show inactivity, average balance
went up after demonetization, banks not enthusiastic to service accounts, BSBD/PMJDY accounts used only for DBT
withdrawal. No true banking activity. Talking about the demonetization move by the government he was bit critical as
surge in deposits at the time was estimated at just Rs.50,000 crore, a small fraction of the Rs.15.28 lakh crore (3-4%), but
demonetization did help the Indian economy by giving a digitalization push and promoted JAM. On a concluding note he
said that “Financial Inclusion has come to mean opening a bank account and conducting transactions (essentially
withdrawals) but other Financial Services are not emphasized. India is progressing but still it’s a long way ahead”
 Panel 2: Bankable India?

The panel consisted of Mr. Tamal Bandyopadhyay, Mr.Ravikumar,Dr.Susheela Venkataraman and Mr. Ravinder Beniwal

The panel discussed about the services available to the underprivileged or the rural society. Although the bottom strata is
getting products at a lower price, the ‘lower’ that we talk of is still high for them. Has financial inclusion become
synonymous with opening bank accounts? This is a question to be pondered over. Thanks to the various facilities such as
mutual funds, insurance etc because of which the number of bank accounts have gone up considerably. The panel mutually
agreed that we do not have enough evidence to actuate the success percentages about the economy that’s generally
floated around. The panel spoke about the benefits of farmers being educated. The importance of them knowing the
reality in the outer world. The panellists put forth a bitter truth about the banking industry in front of us. All the products
in the industry are those which bring about disruption, they said.Compared to the mobile phone industry where more
than 1 billion subscribers exist,the banking industry suffers with just about 500-600 million cards/accounts. India has a
huge informal industry which works on cash. Would people really want to use products that might replace cash? Do
farmers really get money credited to their accounts? These are some questions to which we are still finding answers.eynote
Address Mr. Rajat Jain

Mr. Rajat Jain is currently the Vice Chairman on the board of Neva Garments Ltd. He has also recently started his own
entrepreneur venture in the startup incubation space called PadUp Ventures.
He explained the evolution of Indian market from the 1990s and spoke about the startup revolution initiative in India.
Then he spoke about the importance of incubation, discovery, validation, maintenance and sale or renewal for any budding
startup. He discussed about the growing Indian market in terms of startup culture with examples of Flipkart and Nokia. He
also emphasised on the risks of budding entrepreneurs and how to drive transformation.

This was followed by a question and answer session in which he further elaborated on the changing market scenario and
importance of innovation.

Day 2

9th September 2017

Keynote Address
Mr.Sunder Madakshira

Mr. Sunder Madakshira is Head, Marketing at Adobe. He started his speech by talking about what transformation means.
Here is an excerpt of his speech:
“In my life it didn’t start and in my life it didn’t end,” so we don’t want to call it transformation. Indians are known to be
impatient. Transformation takes centuries to take place. The number of changes that have come in India ina relatively
short time are considerable and noteworthy. Only people who adopt the latest technologies will survive. In 2008, cloud
computing was becoming very important even though cloud computing is as old as 1998. All the data is stored in a cloud.
Companies which have not adapted to this kind of technology will suffer. The earliest adopters of technology are the ones
progressing. People who were least expected to adopt technology,did. people should know how to use the data they have.
The twin sister of digitization is mobilization.Firstly, we need to check consumer pull and technology push. It’s a
combination. We have to consider both while going forward. For example,a company manufacturing chillers came up with
an innovative use of technology. They got a chip installed in the chiller. This is an example of use of technology for a very
different reason. This chip is the health monitor of all chillers. It keeps measuring barometers and keeps sending data.Due
to this, down time is reduced from 87% to 3%. Mr. Sunder says
‘The interface of technology is simple, but its backend is not simple. That’s the beauty. You got to be ruthless and a complex
person to make simple things.’
By nature, India does not have a data driven culture. It’s changing fast though, for the good. We are very fond of making
decisions based on gut feeling. According to Mr.Sunder, India needs to depend on analytics to make better decisions. LG’s
launch of consumer products didn’t work too well as the decision was not data driven. On the other hand, ITC did the
same thing based on data and it worked! The way people are able to crunch data is going to make a difference between
successful and not so successful professionals. Being scared of numbers isn’t going to help. It’s not really a choice any
more.
 Panel 3: Good and Simple Tax?

The Panel discussed on the positive and negative impacts of GST on various industries starting from Supply-chain to Small
and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as a whole. The short-term effects of GST are hard to bear with as the companies have to
register themselves and do the filing monthly. Also, the GSTN (GST Network) is facing technical glitches due to which the
companies cannot file returns even if they want to. The Panel also discussed the poor implementation of the Government
in terms of designing policies and the unorganized way of implementing GST with unnecessary number of tax slabs. Apart
from the negatives, GST has impacted positively for industries such as E-Commerce and Logistics & Supply-chain. Since
the number of check posts reduced, the interstate transportation has become easier and thus E- Commerce is benefitted
due to decrease in delivery and transportation costs. After the implementation of GST, the Ease of Doing Business has also
improved. To summarize, the Panel touched upon the various aspects of implementation of GST on the organized (big
companies) and the unorganized (SMEs) players of India and how is it going to beneficial in the long term for each and
every one in the country. The Panel was followed by Question and Answer session.

Keynote Address
Mr. S. R. Raghavendra Rao

Day 2 ended with an insightful keynote session given by S. R. Raghavendra Rao.

He is an aviation expert, having served in Indian Airports Service for 38 years.He came as the last Keynote speaker for
ALCHEMY 2017. He talked about the overall development of a person. Mr. Rao also emphasized on having the right kind
of attitude with adequate knowledge in order to succeed in life. He also gave his valuable insights about what the industry
expects from us, as management graduates. He touched upon various current affairs topics like GST and gave the Indian
Government’s perspective on some of the most talked about topics such as the aviation industry. His vast experience and
valuable insights would surely help the students develop their personality in order to succeed in life. The session ended
with some questions and answers.

About the theme - Breaking Boundaries

In continuation with previous theme ‘Beyond Imagination’ this title takes us to the next stage
of the journey – doing something which challenges the status quo. Be it GST,
Demonetization, Israel-India relationship, growing Indian markets, 100+ satellite launch by
ISRO, Emerging digital world, Increasing social connectivity, Introduction of insolvency and
bankruptcy rule and India’s first international stock exchange. The ever-changing ebb and
flow of human history, technology, and even sociology is all taking us to what is
next. Keeping up is what organisms do when they are thriving. The only true boundary lies
between day and night, between life and death, between hope and loss. The real competition
lies beyond boundaries. If you don’t see that, you are managing yourself into a smaller box
than necessary.
The history of mankind reveals that fences and boundaries were created by humans only. As
we evolved over the course of time, we discovered that boundaries are constantly shifting –
from day to night, joy to sorrow, love to hate, and from life itself to death; and who can say at
what moment we may suddenly cross over the border, from one state of existence to another,
like heat applied to some flammable substance. Men have their own ever-changing margins,
across which they move, continually and hungrily, like a migrating animal. Now civilized,
untamed and responsive to decency and human concern, viciously attuned to the darkest of
desires.

technology, and analytics have helped in creating a sustainable competitive advantage for Indian
companies. India is now one of the fastest growing economies in the world where technological
innovations, a boom in big data, analytics and the strife for a sustainable future play a prominent role in
driving it forward.

Redefining India aims at addressing these changes and embraces them with open arms in order to thrive

Day 1
th
14 September, 2018

Keynote 1: Dinesh Kumar

Mr Dinesh Kumar, Professor IIM Banglore, started with the quote, “In God we trust, all others bring Data”.
Most of the economic development in the 21st century is driven by Artificial Intelligence. But what is
important is ‘How it is changing the world in general and how India can adopt and change?’

AI came into force in 1952 and first council of AI was formed during that period. In today’s world, the
questions we need to ask are, ‘How do organizations take decisions? What is Intelligence and what should
we do with this intelligence?’ Intelligence helps you analyze the problem and take the right decisions.
Mostly, companies when faced with a problem follow the CEO’s opinion but there is no guarantee that
this will be best for the organizations. Seeing the importance of data and analytics is what is changing the
organizations. They use it to find out what the customers need and inorder to identify the changing
patterns in the consumers’ head. Analytics tracks this pattern and helps them connect the dots. In India,
there are a lot of organizations that use AI and are driven by these algorithms. “We as a nation have a
stronghold on the IT Industry, therefore it is important that we adopt an analytical strategy to compete in
the market. We need to be proactive instead of being reactive."-

Today, all the technology and innovation we see around is driven by analytics. For example, how
smartphone uses predictive analytics for sending messages. AI consists of business context, technology
and Data Science. But the other perspective brought about during the discussion was how organizations
fail to use AI efficiently. The volume pf data that we handle is huge and without efficient usage of analytics,
it could always result in a negative impact. Data is money and we need to careful while using it.
Keynote 2: Pramod Varma

Dr Pramod Varma is the face of India’s largest digital identity program “Aadhar” and the CTO of EkStep. Sir
reflected on the fact that we are laying the platform to create products and services and to make it
available for millions of people. We are the privileged segment who falls in the top 2-3% of the country.
We are migrants who are always mobile. We move into a new society, start building and improving lives.
This is because; India has a young population that is aspirational, moving fast to leverage things that
benefit them. “Viable and reimagined businesses are built on the shoulders of strong infrastructure”. He
went on to provide examples of how data can be used to correctly authenticate and improve the existing
infrastructure. But why doesn’t it reach all 1.3 billion population of India? This is because it is neither
accessible nor affordable. India needs to build the digital infrastructure needed to reimagine business and
make it accessible for the betterment of our people.

The cost of doing business needs to come down and small companies need to establish trust and
verifiability digitally through provisions like GST etc. He also explained the working of toll gate in
authenticating the vehicles. He also went on to explain the ‘Ayushman Bharat’ initiative and how it will be
helpful for all of us. India needs to embrace ‘Data Democracy’. Data needs to be accessible and controlled
by everybody. “Data is not just to be protected, it must be used to empower. The problem is not that
companies are benefiting from our data, the problem is, we are not benefiting from it.”

Panel Discussion 1: Byte the Bullet

The panel started the discussion by saying that “We are data rich but information poor”. Artificial
intelligence is helping in taking decisions not just for the humans, but for organizations and countries as
well and this is a golden opportunity that we need to thrive in. They touched upon how analytics helps us
in different fields like agriculture. They also discussed about different areas like ‘Predictive Policing’,
Analytics in the field of ‘Recruitment’ etc. They went on to talk about ‘Data Ethics’ and how everyday there
is an issue regarding data privacy and the vulnerability of organizations. Companies need to be proactive
when it comes to issues related to cyber security. They also spoke about building career in analytics. ‘Data
Scientist’ is a team and not an individual. They are people with the knowledge of business who understands
the complexity of algorithms and who helps in making accurate decisions. They concluded saying that in
the last 5 years, there have been a lot of advancements in the field of AI but we need to improve on our
existing skills in order to adapt and face the challenges posed to organizations and countries and ended by
stating, “Are we on the right side or wrong side of data? It is up to us to decide.”

Panel Discussion 2: Nurture the Future

The panel started the discussion by talking about CSR and social responsibility. CSR is more than
sustainable development. CSR is integral and cannot be considered as peripheral to the organization. It
has to be the core of the organization. Social responsibility impact any business on social, environment
and economic levels. CSR is more than sustainable development. They continued by saying that, Planet is
the 4th 'P' that needs to be added to the 3P (Product, Profit, People) approach for organizations band that
CSR cannot be considered as a Sunday confession of an Italian Mafia. They went on to explain how
businesses don’t just exist for making profits. They survive to accelerate and maintain the social, economic
and environmental integrity. They also touched upon the topic regarding the initiatives taken up by the
government of India like PPS, steps against the TFR (Tiger, Forest, River) Syndrome etc. We need to work
on energy, water, waste and air and on measuring carbon levels. This realization comes when we interact
with people from other countries. They explained how we need to survive in this VUCA world. Businesses
cannot just think of economic progress. There will be disruptions in technology but it is up to us to decide
how to use it without harming the environment we live in. They concluded by saying that, “It all starts and
ends with you. Do not blame the govt., the corporations, the NGOs or anyone else. You are the future of
the country, so take the right decisions."

Keynote 3: Sayantan Chatterjee

Mr.Sayantan Chatterjee, Director of PWC India, spoke about how innovation and technology is changing
as we move forward. Oil era is out. It is the data era and we are being fueled by data. He explained how
data is fueling this disruption. Data enables you to have multiple stakeholders contributing and so
everything around us is changing and we need to evolve too. We cannot limit the audience as the
disruption has helped us leapfrog through generations of outdated technology. He explained the actual
meaning of digital. As per him, it can be categorized as: i) Restriction of geographies ii) Money and
resources ii) An equal world. He also spoke about how companies are evolving and adapting with the
change. He used examples of Mahindra & Mahindra and TATA Motors and their strife to make a global
presence. Hence, amidst this digital disruption, the main thing is that every individual has a reach to it. He
concluded by saying that, "It's not enough to have an idea or innovation, most important thing is that
conviction to take that innovation"
 Day2
15th September, 2018

Keynote 4: Sunay Bhasin

Mr. Sunay Bhasin, Chief Marketing Officer, MTR Foods Pvt Ltd, gave an insight into changing marketing
trends in India. He went on to explain about the disruptive technologies. Emerging technologies are met
with exponential adoption which starts the disruption and impacts lives. Even the great Maslow’s
Hierarchy of needs is getting disrupted. He stated that technology is disrupting our daily lives more and
more. He went on to give example of how Apple products are changing or disrupting every other product
in the market in one way or the other. He touched upon the aspect of the 4th Industrial revolution and how
IoT, AI is changing lives. From the marketing perspective, he said that, what makes a marketer different in
this VUCA world is how much you can push the creative side. He went on to explain eight helpful marketing
principles about having a clear brand purpose, the creative side of advertising, being topical, being bold
and taking a stand, brand engagement, willingness to learn, being passionate and finally about being
analytical. He spoke about digitalization and how things can be kept simple when products are being
marketed to customers because the real buzz is about connecting with people at all levels. He concluded
by saying that, “It is always better to be something for someone rather than being nothing for no one”.

Panel Discussion 3: Technocracy

The panel started the discussion by questioning the existing infrastructure present in our country
irrespective of the fact that 20% of innovations in NASA are brought by Indians. They continued
by stating how the ecosystem in India is not sufficient to support people in pursuing things they
are passionate about. There have been not much of evident changes in India when it comes to
using technology at the right places of the business. In order to make a difference, people must
be willing to learn technologies like blockchain, AI etc. so that they know where exactly this
technology can be applied. They went on to comparing the infrastructure and technological
advancements in India and other countries like South Korea, Japan etc. The real problem is to
think about smarter and simpler solutions than cracking the world's biggest problems. They
discussed about how regular or traditional approach may not be useful in solving the problems in
India and how predictive analytics is the new solution that is both doable and realistic. Problems
need to be solved in a sustainable way. With the recent advancements in technology, there would
come a time when decisions and governance would be data-driven. But because of accessibility
issues, we have a constant threat of data not being utilized for the betterment of everybody. They
concluded by stating that, Technology by itself cannot determine the good from the bad. It’s the
people, especially the leaders, who need to decide on that.

Description:

A day when dreams soared high and happiness knew no boundaries. The flagship event of Social
Responsibility Committee of Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Bengaluru was
conducted on Sunday, i.e. the 2nd of September, 2018.
The main aim of this event every year is to bring the much-deserved smile on the faces of the
underprivileged children from shelter homes across Bengaluru, by organizing a fun-filled day at
the campus. This year the theme of Utthaan was “Dreams on Wings” with the tagline ‘Nothing
Can Keep Me Down’. The reason behind choosing this theme was to make them feel that they
are not any less than other kids.
The preparation for the event started a month back with manual creatives being the area of
focus. On the event day, the entire campus was decorated with creatives that depicted our theme.
The event started at 10:00 am in the morning. This time a total of six shelter homes namely
Anatha Shishu Nivasa, Makkalla Jeevodaya, Belaku Shishu Nivasa, Sadashraya, Surabhi Trust
and Prasanna Jyothi were invited with a total of 128 kids. They were assisted by their caretakers.

safety and security. It was an attraction for the kids and they got really excited by seeing them
and interacting with them. The event started by lighting up the lamp, which was followed by an
address by the Director and the delegates. After the address, the informal part of the event
started. The dance club of SIBM-B, Jhankaar, gave a mesmerising performance and the kids
couldn’t help but dance along. The kids also came prepared with their own sets and needless to
say they left the students speechless. The mascot for the day was Angry Bird who played around
and interacted with the kids. After the auditorium program, the kids were taken to the mess for
lunch where they prayed and had a sumptuous meal following which they were grouped in 10
teams.
The next half of the day was full of games like box the balloon, target the castle, roll a dice, find
your color, target your castle, guess the personality, find your color, seven claps etc. Magic Show
was also in store towards the end of the day.

The kids were given goody bags which had gifts like lunch box, bottles, toys, ball. The shelter
homes were also awarded with a certificate and a memento for participation. The kids were

ALCHEMY 2019

Alchemy is the Annual Management Conclave hosted by Symbiosis Institute of Business
Management, Bengaluru where seasoned minds from the corporate world share their
experiences and insights with the students.
The theme for Alchemy 2019 is India : From Vicious to Virtuous Cycle
When India gained the status of an independent nation 72 years ago, the country found itself
as a technology infant immersed in poverty. Time and again, it has been challenged with
numerous difficult situations, be it the political emergency of 1975-1977, the 1991 balance
of payment crisis, or the global recession of 2008. The journey of India evolving from an
impoverished third world country to an emerging global superpower has not been a smooth
one. Even today, as the country stands on the brink of entering a new revolutionary era,
issues like widespread poverty, inadequate infrastructure, slow rate of capital formation and
job creation for a population of 1.3 billion people are still holding back what otherwise is,
one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Unless India frees itself from this vicious
cycle it is in, emerging victorious in the upcoming era will be difficult. This raises the
following questions: How should it manage its economy in a global environment of unstable
and turbulent economies? How will it facilitate organizations to cross the chasm from being
just businesses to harnessing the true potential of an innovative corporate structure, strong
governance and varied culture? How should it leverage technology to reach and maintain
an advantageous position over other countries?
Very aptly the theme of Alchemy 2019 is India : From Vicious to Virtuous Cycle
encompassing the sub-themes:

I. Fading Synergies: Overcoming Economic Turbulences

India has created the world’s largest democracy, evolving from being just another third
world country to emerging as an eminent global superpower. However, even with the
recent re-election of the previous government, the country’s economy is in a deceleration
mode with GDP growth clocking 5.8 per cent in Q4 2018-19 and 6.8 per cent for the year
as a whole. Can we reverse this trend? Why is there a growing trend of nationalism and
shift towards de-globalization and what are its resulting impacts? What changes are being
implemented or are required to be implemented to make India a $5 trillion economy?

II. Technology: The Coign of Vantage

All around the world, technology and analytics are helping businesses test their limits
and unlock their true potential. India has been embracing technology for many years, be
it the industrialization and mass production or accepting computerization and automation.
Advancement in technology brings tremendous opportunities for India allowing it to
leapfrog many stages of development, hastening its journey towards becoming a global
superpower. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and neural networks are playing
larger roles in almost every field and function of business, fuelling ideas for new products
and services in the transnational flow of trade and capital. This cross-border flow of
digital information involving searches, transactions and communications has increased
five-fold since 1990.
2
III. Crossing the Chasm: Bridging the Corporate Gap
With Government initiatives like Skill India, Make in India and Startup India acting as
catalysts, India has become the third largest startup base in the world with over 4,750
technology start-ups. The way Indian startups have revamped the sphere of retail,
transport, logistics, financial services, the next decade will be about a metamorphosis in
the agriculture, healthcare, real estate, automotive and energy sectors which have already
started to explode. This has resulted in changing culture, breaking of traditional
hierarchies and amalgamation of verticals across all companies, old or new, to make the
businesses agile, flexible and adaptive to change. How can nimble startups collaborate
and co-exist with established conglomerates in the VUCA world? How would this
relationship between the old traditional structures and the new innovations transform and
improve the overall corporate environment of India?

“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine and
reset our world” – Klaus Schwab

The year 2020 was different in many ways. The deadly virus - COVID19 impacted the entire
world, causing millions to lose their lives, economies being adversely hit, businesses downsizing
or closing down, people losing jobs, and many more. India too witnessed similar unfortunate
circumstances, with many families losing their sole breadwinners and means of income
significantly reducing. Words like 'lockdown,' 'quarantine,' 'isolation,' and 'pandemic' have become
common in our vocabulary. Yet, as we step into this new decade, we are hopeful that we have
reached the light at the end of the tunnel. The time is ripe to look into the future. And what better
way to do it than by adopting new and innovative business models and strategies. How businesses
- small and large, tap into their resources with energy and zeal will determine how efficiently can
we unlock a sustainable and better future.

With several industries, including manufacturing, retail, and tourism, virtually coming to a
standstill and businesses resorting to remote working culture, 2020 threw a new mystery at every
stage. However, the indomitable human spirit did not take things lying down. We fought and are
still fighting; with multiple vaccines in the pipeline, we are heading with a vision to revive and
progress towards the next normal. This will likely aid the robust blend of monetary, fiscal and
structural policies which have been proposed by governments across both developed and emerging
economies to strengthen businesses towards the path of recovery.

Business transformations and innovative technological applications will play a significant role in
helping global economies bounce back. This revival of global economies will be driven by
technology, which will deliver the right business strategy, driving new business agendas, and
bringing new thinking and dynamism to conventional ways of business. Rising demand and falling
infection rates have tempered the expectations of COVID's hit on the global economy. With the
entire landscape of businesses altering, what role can adaptability and technological advancements
play to keep businesses afloat? How can nations leverage the existing situation and become front-
runners in leading the world towards a faster recovery?

In Alchemy 2020-21, we placed our focus on how enterprising technology is causing a paradigm
shift in economics and transforming businesses through resilient frameworks

We had dynamic, successful and inspirational keynote speakers who enlightened us on the
overall picture of the Pandemic and thereafter.

Alchemy 2020-21 encompasses the following panels:
● Business Transformation and Building Resilient Frameworks
● Economic Dynamics – A Paradigm Shift
● Enterprising Technology: The Vital Spoke of Transformation

Business Transformation and Building Resilient Frameworks

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new
model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ― Buckminster Fuller

As the world prepares for the forthcoming next normal brought about by the pandemic, the
corporate sector is poised to play a significant role in facilitating the transition. Conventional
business models are being challenged to usher in more productivity, adaptability, and flexibility in
the working norms. Several corporates have already resorted to work-from-home and hybrid
models, remote and virtual workplace, flexi-time work schedules, and other modes of virtual
collaboration, thereby leveraging technology optimally. Virtual business communicationplatforms
have been rolling out upgrades to simulate a near personal experience making work- from-home a
viable alternative. Flexible work-hours empower the employee, creating a productive and robust
work environment. However, with the increase in interaction via remote working, how can
companies fit work-life balance?

While some businesses are leveraging technology, others are using creative and path-breaking
solutions by revisiting their core competencies to realign them to contemporary times. In the
pursuit of adapting to the next normal, resilient companies are creatively altering their business
models, human resources policies, and marketing strategies. Smart business, portfolio
diversification, and accelerated technology is the trend, with more companies venturing into
essentials to sustain the operational robustness while simultaneously helping society/extending a
helping hand to the society. The new virtual environment that the world is experiencing allows
businesses to unlock the latent potential of their human resources wherever they are. With all said
and done, the prevailing question concerns the existing environment; however, what other new
and innovative business practices would emerge to ensure business continuity and resilience?
Being the future workforce, how can we complement the existing human capital with the desired
skills of the new normal and what is in store for us?

Economic Dynamics – A Paradigm Shift

“We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails." – Anonymous

McKinsey Global Survey states that – In just a few months, Covid-19 has enabled radical
developments in businesses, which has taken the world ahead by an estimated three to four years.
The rise in global opportunities and transformations, backed by digital adoption, has brought a

21
 quantum leap, which looked seemingly impossible before the disruption. The key to capitalizing
such opportunities lies in building self-sustaining value chains, expanding on new emerging
sectors like gig industry, imbibing a circular economic system to survive and emerge as an
impregnable force amidst the chaos.

In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity. The aftershocks of the disruptions caused by the
Pandemic will have a significant impact on the way business is done in the future. A new phrase
has come up in the last few months – “Business as Unusual”. It is becoming increasingly clear that
a return to Business as Usual is no longer a feasible option.

The present crisis presents a chance for policy adjustments. To mitigate the impact caused by the
crisis, nations are rethinking their economic models. Each nation is trying to combat the declining
demand through various methods like decreasing tax and interest rates and implementing various
fiscal and monetary policies. For this purpose, the governments have taken numerous stances for
the credit approval and tax reduction facilities. Global banking systems have also done a
tremendous job by incorporating Artificial Intelligence into their system and efficiently providing
loans to small and medium enterprises. The effort to reduce interest rates by Central Banks has
boosted the global lending market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 and
reach $7,929.0 billion in 2023. As countries continue to formulate policies for recovery, it gives
them a chance to embark on a greener, smarter, and more equitable development path.

With a rapid increase in global consumption and start-up culture, global economies have much to
gain by shifting their outlook from wealth distribution to wealth creation. Private multinationals
will play a remarkable role in increasing employment and reducing inequality. As more than half
of the global workforce is expected to be a part of the gig economy by 2027, can it become the
focal point of this ever-changing world? This being the apt time to rise and build a conducive
environment for businesses globally, can India propel itself as a global power through a paradigm
shift in its economic model?

Enterprising Technology: The Vital Spoke of Transformation

“Information technology and business are getting inextricably interwoven. I don't think anyone
can talk meaningfully about one without talking about the other.”- Bill Gates

Technology has always been the vital spoke of the wheel, binding the core elements of the
businesses together. The pandemic has induced technology to undergo significant changes, which
further influenced enterprises to adapt and use these emerging technologies to enhance
productivity and reduce production costs.

22
 The pandemic has witnessed innovative applications of technology-harnessing the potential of
automation and robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Digital transformation and
holistic learning have launched a new era of education where technology has enhanced the learning
environment, empowering the entire community to learn without limits. Similarly, the healthcare
industry has been coming up with path-breaking research and development solutions. The
improved and innovative supply chain and logistics practices as seen in the vaccination drives have
multiplied efficiency by applying technologies such as the internet of things and block chain
solutions. With the increased adoption of digitalization solutions, higher availability of data has
allowed better analytics for improved data-driven decision-making.

While technology is transforming the major industries like travel, hospitality, and transport, we
also have to keep in mind that these industries represent only a portion of the overall economy.
Other industries like real estate firms, particularly housing corporates, show a decrease in demand
due to employees working from home. The question now is how technology will play a pivotal
role in embracing all sections of the economy, while handling the fallout of the pandemic. Should
we accept that certain businesses would significantly fade out just as digital cameras replaced
photographic films? Can technology indeed be the vital spoke holding together all businesses as
we move into a newer tomorrow?

 Event Theme and description:

Theme - Envision & Empower

Description - Humanity’s triumph against all odds is driven by the innate ability to visualize and
invigorate. In the face of adversity, there exists a visceral feeling of hope - the light at the
end of the tunnel that helps them navigate and reach their destination even through the
toughest of times. The fear of the unknown looms over everyone, but it is conquered
through courage, vision, and a leap of faith to uncover the vast seas of knowledge that are
hidden and unknown. Nurturing that feeling within us to ‘Envision & Empower’ is a powerful
tool to encourage everyone to take this leap of faith. The light that one emits from within, is
the aura that others perceive, influencing the lives it touches, empowering others to follow.
Just as the discovery of fire, ushered in a new age for humanity; now we must usher in a
new age for ourselves, fostering the light within each one of us.

● Name of the Event/ Panel: Project Yellow - “You, We got this!”

● Event Theme and description: The 4th of October to 10th of October marks the occasion of
World Mental Health Week. This week was observed to educate people about mental health
and spread positivity among the students of SIBM Bengaluru. Project Yellow helped the
students express gratitude towards the people of the SIBM family who have been extremely
kind and caring. This was done by encouraging the students to write thank you notes for their
peers and faculty or anyone who has helped and supported them in times of adversity. These
notes were then sent to the recipients via email. Students were also encouraged to take some
time out each day for self care. To emphasize the importance of taking a break each day from
all the stress, the Happy Hour event was organized on 7th October, as a part of Project Yellow.
Happy Hour was a team event where there were no winners or losers. Students participated
just to have fun and spend some time with their peers. This event consisted of three rounds.
The first round was the "Rapid Fire" round, where the participants were required to answer
as many questions as possible out of a set of 10 questions, within one minute. The second
round was called "Mission Impossible". In this round, the participants had to find a solution
to a given situation using the tools assigned to them. They had 1.5 minutes to complete this
round. The participants were encouraged to be as creative and as funny as possible. The third
round was called "Taboo". In this round, one member of the team was given 15 "Star words"
along with five taboo words per star word. The main goal of the selected team representative
was to get the rest of the team members to guess the star words without using the taboo
words. Each team had 2 minutes to guess as many words as possible. At the end of the event,
everyone felt like a winner.

 Utopia - Event Report

• Event Theme and description:

This year was Utopia was celebrated as an intra-college fest, organized to commemorate the birth
anniversary of our respected founder Dr. S. B. Majumdar. This year Utopia went digital and we
opened our doors to all of SIBM-B to take part in this cultural extravaganza.

Utopia 2020 brought the theme of 'Vivere - The Thrill of Life'. We believe this is a great time to
be alive and cherish all the changes that we are experiencing. Students were given a chance to
make memories in a variety of events.

To be high spirited and jubilant is the very personification of 'Vivere - The Thrill of Life'.

The idea brings out our glorious commitment to sailing through this mundane existence with a
new zest for life! Nothing would make the vibrant batch of 2020, possessing a colourful set of
experiences, feel more connected than the celebration of affinity. On that note, we at SIBM-B
present to you Utopia 2020 – a platform for synchrony and harmony. The fest rejoices in the
magnificent mix of cultures, beliefs, traditions, and thoughts. Vivere gives you the freedom to
break free of our self-imposed barriers and laud the unity of life. With a bevy of events lined up,
from quizzes to dancing, get prepared for a day filled with fun, talent, and memories of a lifetime!
The thrill of new beginnings with the tantalizing energy of the past adds to the celebration that is
“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”.
