VITTAKSH 2016

In a world where even Great Britain’s mighty Pound took a big pounding and China was forced to devalue its currency in order to survive, it is hard to tell whether any economy will tend towards a boom or a bubble. Further, studies have shown that a business cycle hits rock bottom every 7-8 years; and rumour has it that we should soon expect one ourselves. We have also been witness to a lot of start-ups mushrooming recently in India, unaware of what their future might be. 
 
With this background, the finance club of SDMIMD takes pleasure in announcing its flagship event “VITTAKSH” on 22nd November 2016, with the theme “Indian Economy: Boom or Bubble”. We provide an opportunity for the best minds amongst you, to test your applied knowledge, showcase your conceptual and analytical skills, and show us why you are better than the rest.
