ATHARVA — TAPMI’s 35TH EDITION “ASCEND TO ZENITH”
Tapping into the Indian Youth’s Potential
Any society that does not succeed in tapping into the energy and creativity of its youth will get left behind.
-Kofi Annan
Research says the Indian population’s median age in 2021 was around 28. Bearing this in mind, one can comfortably say that the Nation’s youth will play a fundamental role in shaping the next couple of decades for us.
And TAPMI- Atharva derives its motivation from this very fact.
Today, an event that brings together 14,000 students owes its existence to an intra-TAPMI event, Hill fest, in 1986. The reforming change came through in 2002 when TAPMI transitioned into its current avatar- ATHARVA. Since then, it has positioned itself as one of the most celebrated B-school fests in the country. TAPMI’s flagship events set forth a competitive platform across all the business domains like Finance, Resources, Marketing, Entrepreneurship.
A management student undergoes various transformations inculcating crucial learnings at different instances. The Atharva’s 35th edition “Ascend to Zenith” is a platform to test business skills by battling it out with the best.
The 35th edition of Atharva has successfully engaged participation from prestigious business schools, including IIM’s, IISS, NMJMS, MID, SJBM. Moreover, collaborations with corporate giants such as Grabon, Raymond’s, MonsterIndia, Safexpress, give TAPMI-Atharva more firepower.
Vincent Van Gogh famously said,’ Doing little things well is a step towards doing big things better.’ Fuelled by inspiration from him, TAPMI has been focusing on making each event worthwhile, intending to make ATHARVA a grand success. The six diverse events and their learnings bring students back for every edition!
The various events organised under the college festival are a concoction that brings together business acumen with developmental skills such as leadership, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity. Undeniably, Innovation and creativity are the juiciest parts of running a business! Furthermore, the areas the events cater to are diverse: performing arts, business, technology and CSR.
A technophile is just as likely to find it interesting as a dance enthusiast!
“Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It is about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others’ success, and then standing back and letting them shine”. The quote by Chirs Hadfield stands appropriate to the First event of The fest, “YOUNG BUSINESS LEADER” this is a go-to event for all management enthusiasts. The event values leadership and incorporates the business domain under one vibrant curriculum.
Being a leader requires one to be dynamic. Hence, this event gives participants a platform to put their best foot forward by creating a simulation of the real business world. Moreover, one aim of the event is to find business leaders who would one day revolutionise society through their strategic decision-making skills.
“Critical Thinking” is an essential part of life and for the next event of the fest- “C-ACE IT.” This event is based on Case Studies where real business scenario-based cases are given to the participants.
Through these case studies, the participants ought to show their abilities in the context of the 5 C’s [ Critical Thinking, Curiosity, Collaboration, Creativity and compassion].
‘If opportunities do not knock, build a door.’ These are perhaps the most accurate set of words that display entrepreneurial spirit. SANKALP entails this spirit and is TAPMI’s very own version of Shark Tank!
The platform provides students to pitch their visions to a panel of 8 investors and venture capitalists. Participants will create business plans across startup ideas under incubation at the ‘Manipal University Technology Business Incubator’ along with the founders. The event helps participants get closer to their entrepreneurial dreams.
In the modern world, where a business has become more strategic than ever, Data is vital for accurate decision making. J.A.R.V.I.S is for those who wish to engage meaningfully with data. The event challenges them with debates on pressing global data problems, expecting plausible solutions. Participants are also tested in various fields such as descriptive, predictive, prescriptive and visual analytics.
Undoubtedly, awareness is the greatest agent for change. TAPMI acknowledges and endorses this fact. Given this, it organises an event named ‘RUN FOR A CAUSE’ to foster social change. As the name suggests, the proceeds of the event are donated to provide improved facilities to underprivileged children in the Academy Primary School, Manipal.
One of the best moments in college life is college fests, where students put their endless efforts to make it a successful event.
