as I see it

Shall we take a quick peek into the recent past? Let's!

The first to arrive - from the ledgers of Finance,
Was Khoj, with equity research as its major draw.
Then emerged Shrinkhala, from the shop-floor of Operations,
An eclectic, exciting mix of events, in it we saw.
The third one came from the algorithms of Information Management,
BhavITva promises to use IT to allay industry fears.
And last (but far from the least!), from the taglines of Marketing,
Blossomed BuZZ-aaR, truly the marketing event of the year.

But there's something bigger and better,
Than each of the four jewels mentioned above.
This is the thing which is going to happen for the first time,
This is with what we are all going to fall in love.

A confluence of ideas,
To foster which we took the onus.
We proudly unveil to you,
The New Sensation – OJAS!

SPJIMR is delighted, and proud, to introduce OJAS '09 – The Sparkling Annual Festival of the College – which integrates the four worlds of ceaseless motion – Finance, Marketing, Operations and Information Management – into a unified whole.

The very word 'OJAS' traces its origin to the Vedas – It is a mixture of eclectic elements which gives birth to a perennial fount of vitality, vibrancy and endurance. OJAS is a celebration of the very power which resides in each one of us and manifests itself in forms like diligence, creativity, intellect et al. While you all have already witnessed the launch of the four central attractions – Khoj, BhavITva, Shrinkhla and Buzz-aaR – we thought we'd keep the last one a surprise!

So here it is now! Please welcome Melange – a potpourri of events guaranteed to enthral the participants and challenge them to explore their intellectual and creative potential. This is going to be a magical potion of events which you would never have dreamt of! But we can guarantee one thing – there won't be a single dull moment around when Melange takes the centre stage!

We, at SPJIMR, warmly welcome you all aboard the maiden voyage of OJAS! It promises to be a journey which would require the use of the twin forces of competition and collaboration to foster mutual growth. Come, live with us for three unforgettable, high-octane days and soak in the electricity which the very air around will be charged with.

Looking forward to having you with us!
