The second of February, 2008 was a historic day in the history of SPJIMR. The first ever consulting symposium, ‘Vinimay ‘08’ was organized by the Consulting Committee of the institute. Bringing together stalwarts from the field of consulting, retail and academia, the symposium proved to be a huge success.
Vinimay 2008 was broken into two events. The first was a case analysis competition for consultants from the industry called ‘Crack-a-Case’. Consultants with a maximum of 3 years of work experience were invited to submit their report analysis on the case. Three teams were selected to make the final presentations on D day. The eventual winners were Amrit Singh and Shalini Upadhyay from ECS.

The second event was a panel discussion on ‘India Entry Strategy – Retail Sector.’ The panelists were Sadeesh Raghavan (MD, India Domestic Business, Accenture), Saurine Doshi (Partner, A T Kearney), Rakesh Biyani (CEO, Pantaloon Retail India Ltd.), Abheek Singhi (Partner, BCG) and Prof. Prem Chandrani of SPJIMR. The panel was moderated by Vivek Law (Editor, Consumer Affairs, CNBC TV18). The discussion proved to be extremely insightful and diverse viewpoints from the eclectic panel added to the educative experience.
Overall, Vinimay 2008 was a ground breaking event and has ended up setting an enviable precedent that needs to be replicated in the future.
