September 24, 2009 - New Delhi - As a part of the trip, the students would be visiting major firms from various industry sectors in Singapore. Apart from this they get a firsthand experience of living and working in Singapore. And to top it all, the students get an opportunity to interact with IIM alumni who are currently working in Singapore.
This first of its kind event, launched in August exclusively for the students of the oldest four IIMs of the country, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta and Lucknow, saw registrations from over 400 enthusiastic students. 25 students were finally selected after 2 gruelling rounds of selections and have now flown to Singapore for the program.
Says Sourabh Pandey of the Manfest Core Committee, “We believe that in its 25th year, the time has come for IIM Lucknow to explore new and exciting avenues. Our Manfest-Contact Singapore initiative is one such step in the right direction”.
The students selected for the program though have made plans which go beyond the program itself and are actively seeking to soak in the business atmosphere at Singapore through heightened peer interaction. “I am glad that I got selected for the program. It is a great networking opportunity”, says Nikhil Luktuke, a second year student of IIM Lucknow.
Manfest, the international business conclave of IIM Lucknow is scheduled from 22-24 January 2010 at IIM Lucknow during which time these 25 students will be interacting with the rest of the student community to make them better understand about working and living in Singapore.
