29th February, 2008The Economic Forum 07 continued the SPJIMR tradition of screening the Union Budget live as a part of the committee’s flagship event Arthasankalp. The D-day was preceded by a series of ‘Knowledge Transfer’ sessions and daily sector-wise updates. When the countdown for the telecast had begun, an audience quiz was just right to set the tone and the standard for the live telecast. While the budget was being telecasted on-the-spot highlight interspersed with SENSEX data were projected to dynamically capture the market sentiments on the budget.
To take the endeavor forward a panel discussion for a post budget analysis was organized on 2nd March 2008. The discussion was moderated by Ms. Mini Menon (Senior Editor and Head of News Features - UTV). The esteemed panel constituted of Mr. Sandeep Shanbhag (Personal Finance), Mr. S. Naren (Head Equity- ICICI Prudential), Ms. Ashima Goyal (Professor - IGIDR) and Mr. Jiban Mukhopadhyay (Ex Economic Advisor - TATA Group). Various insightful points about oil bonds, loan waiver for the farmers, taxes etc. were raised and critiqued in the discussion.
