Hyderabad: Deloitte has launched Season V of ‘Maverick’, its signature industry-academia connect programme. A popular event in B-Schools across India, the programme connects with students from various campuses using an engaging business simulation format.
This year, the regional qualifiers for the Maverick programme are being held across North, South, East and West of India – and the top teams from each of the regions will compete for the Maverick 2016 title at the grand finale in Deloitte’s Hyderabad office on September 16, 2016. The winning team will get a cash prize and an opportunity to intern at Deloitte.
“In a dynamic, fast-paced and competitive business environment, the driver for success continues to be education, business acumen and strong leadership.
With the expanded scope of Maverick Season V, we are looking to address these very requirements in the millennial workforce, provide them an insight into what it takes to be successful in the corporate world, tap into the talent pool and truly leverage their potential,” said S V Nathan, Chief Talent Officer, and Partner in Deloitte Shared Services, India.
“Maverick, by design nurtures and promotes a deeper industry-academia connect and helps students hone their skills and client service capabilities,” said Bruce Stewart, Principal, Deloitte.
“Given how millennials are radical-thinkers seeking constant opportunities, on boarding some of the brightest minds adds to the delivery capabilities of our firm and strengthens our position in the evolving marketplace amidst emerging client requirements,” he added.
Apart from the main business solutions challenge, three additional competitions are held on the sidelines of Maverick to provide a platform for students to showcase their talents. The ‘War of Bands’ is held for music bands in the campuses to compete against each other, and win a chance to play at the regional rounds and at the grand finale.
‘Be the One’ is a unique contest where students are encouraged to send in their personal story of successes/ achievements that helped shape them into the person they are. Selected contestants stand a chance to share their stories during the regional rounds and win prizes.
‘Roll the Reel’ is the third contest that is aimed at providing students with the opportunity to unleash their creative skills leveraging videos and new-age motion graphics. Winning entries will be played at the regional rounds and at the grand finale.
