Ok, so finally an ego booster - we won a case competition at IIM Calcutta (or Joka as any IIM C loyalist would call it), to top it all McK was the organiser of the event . yippeee
Guess, what made the victory sweeter was the fact that we won it against all odds (in the hindsight all wins seem like that, but still)
- I and S didn't feel like submitting it in the first place, for us drinking at Solistice was more important - we only did it coz P pushed us - though she did a fab job I must say
- We had completely forgotten about the event - the shortlist came as a mighty suprise - 8 teams out of 197. Nice!
- We headed off to Kolkata amidst the gloom and doom of getting dinged left, right and centre
- We reached IIM C with a half baked presentation, only to discover that they had arranged for a dingy room with 6 mattress strewn over the floor. As S put it 'even Bunto (his dog) would be ashamed to sleep on them'. and they won't let P stay with us because it was a 'boys hostel'. At ISB such terms are archaic.
- So, we somehow finished our presentation, met up with a bunch of DCEites (they seemed to to be all over IIM C), shivered all night (thanks to the razer thin blankets they provided us).
So, what about the final presentation, well except 1-2 hiccups it went like a charm, P again did a fab job with the layout and structure and of course made the two lazy bongs work (ok so it was Cal, I am a bong there).
Impresssions about IIM C- beautiful campus - loved the lakes, dilapidated buildings, chilled out atmosphere - loved the concept of GGP
So here's to Team 'Matrixed' - consulting cos are you listening
