IMI gears up for Conventus 2016

​Hyderabad: International Management Institute (IMI), New Delhi announces the schedule for Conventus 2016, its annual event which brings together academicians, industry leaders and students for discussions on the prevalent economic situation of the country and the rest of the world.

Scheduled to be held between August 19 and 21, Conventus will provide a platform for students to interact with industry leaders and identify solutions to the problems in the global economic scenario.

The three-day event will focus on various aspects of business such as marketing, finance, operations, HR, strategy, economics and entrepreneurship. Detailed discussions under these heads will be undertaken by some of the most renowned industry leaders as well as academicians and the faculty of IMI-New Delhi.

This year, the focus of Conventus will be to devise strategies that focus on sustenance in business rather than the oft-repeated buzzword of innovation in start-ups. With a multitude of companies offering same or similar products and services, the life cycle of products has considerably reduced.

This enhanced competition emphasises on the need to develop sound business roadmaps that lead to sustenance and viability of ideas.

Speaking about Conventus, Bakul Dholakia, Director General, IMI New Delhi stated, “This year, our focus is on trying to investigate the methods through which promising start-ups, still at a vulnerable stage in their business lifecycle, can survive the onslaught of bigger corporate entities.

It is our hope that we will be able to continue the legacy of success passed on from the Conventus summits of the past and the students will find themselves enriched and far more equipped to handle pressing problems of the current economy better.”
