EQUINOX 2015
Equinox 2015 kicked off in style as the sun set on the evening of September 11th. The line-up of events epitomized the underlying thread of Equinox – learning-networking-fun. Santhosh Babu, a CEO trainer and coach, conducted a leadership session, focusing on the ways to succeed in a competitive world. Asif Basra, a television, theatre and cinema personality, conducted another workshop on leadership wherein he taught theatre based techniques to improve communication, develop creativity and break conditioning to be innovative and successful managers. There were other workshops on cocktail making, baking and painting for children.
A session by the CNBC TV18 Young Turks followed suit which was a well-curated panel discussion with insights on the rise of startups, investors’ point of view and a Q&A session with the students. None other than Syna Dehnugara (Co-author of Young Turks & Features Editor at CNBC-TV18) moderated the panel discussion and the panel consisted of young entrepreneurs namely, Ritesh Agarwal (Founder & CEO Oyorooms.com), Prashant Tandon (Founder & CEO1 MG (HealthKartPlus)), Rishi Mukherjee (Co-Founder & COO ScoopWhoop.com), Maninder Gulati (Principal, Lightspeed India Partners Advisors and an alum from the PGP, Class of 2010) and Anant Goenka (Wholetime Director & Head - New Media,The Express Group).
A wine and cheese tasting event highlighted the networking experience – many exchanged their aspirations and dreams and sought advice on the same. The evening saw a cultural extravaganza merge with the carnival theme and a retail bazaar by the students.
There was no dearth of fun either with the smells of barbecue wafting through the air and students, alums, faculty, members of administration coming together and sharing ideas and experiences with one another. The students also put up stellar performances in the realm of dance, music and theatre , which was then followed by a band performance by Prateek Kuhad and a stand up comedy act by Kenny Sebastian. A Bollywood & Comic Con theme set the tone for the party afterward – an unsurpassed fun quotient of the Equinox 2015.
The three-day saga ended with the inauguration of the Bloomberg Finance Lab and the Dean’s brunch. Not to mention, a bittersweet adieu to the alumni and a bar raised high for the coming years.
