In spite of the advent of various occupations in the world, the business remains the core activity of an economy. The students of our school got an opportunity to experiment with their analytical skills in the field of business through the virtual business event ‘ComCon’ organized by Hiranandani Foundation School, Powai on 18th December 2020. The programme comprised three events-TIPS(Trade, Invest, Produce and Sell). The students had to make quick decisions to produce and sell products in order to earn high profits.
‘Rise and Shine’ was another event where the students had to come up with various strategies to revive the loss-making companies. The last event was ‘VigyaPUN’, in which students had to create an advertisement for a product given by the organizing committee, emulating any Bollywood or Hollywood iconic character.
Various schools from across the country participated in ‘ComCon’. Three teams from our school with a total of eleven students took part in the competition. The team named “The Phoenix” comprising Manvi Bhatia(XII-C), Radhika Swaroop(XI-C), Vedansh Parwani(XI-D) and Avni Nevatia(XI-D) of our school bagged the First Runner-Up position in ‘Rise and Shine’. Mr. Vikram Saluja, an alumni of HSF, judged the presentations on the basis of their presentations on the unique marketing strategies, which aimed at reviving the IHCL and Jet Airways industries, post covid. It was a nerve-wracking process but with high spirits and exemplary coordination among the team members, our students gave an incredible performance.
Overall, it was an enriching and thrilling experience for all the students.
