The KSSs conducted, conceptualisation of the games, the marketing of the event, and led to a successful event not only in terms of the participation but also in terms of being a great learning experience for the members of the society. The annual event of the society consisted of 3 competitions including a stock market simulation, the flagship case study competition and one other simulation. It was conducted in an offline format for the first time after the break of the pandemic and saw an overwhelming participation of 1100+ teams.

Intra-CBS Simulation: We also conducted our much-awaited CBS-wide offline simulation. The game witnessed a participation of 200+ CBSites wherein they were required to maximise their votes by weighing down all possible risks and rewards in a limited span of time.

Demystify: Continuing the fortnightly series Demystify, we expanded our subscriber base and also introduced an innovative approach to the topics. Till date, we have published almost 300 editions of Demystify.

KSS: Numerous bi-weekly knowledge sharing sessions were conducted to teach freshers essential technical skills like Microsoft Excel, Canva, Time Value of Money etc. Mockstock Training Sessions and Case Study and Guesstimate Sessions were also held so that the students could be taught the correct way to approach such competitions. Additionally, sessions were also held to discuss numerous economic concepts and current affairs (including the Union Budget) to incorporate different perspectives and understand the logical flow of conclusions.

Webinars: Multiple webinars were conducted to widen the knowledge base of the students in many aspects. Students were given an understanding of financial modelling, data analytics and calculating market size for startups.

Live Projects: The Society successfully completed four Live projects in different domains including equity research, market research, STP Analysis and business plan etc. Through Live Projects, members were able to enhance their understanding of the dynamic market conditions and brainstorm on solutions to real problems being faced by the organisations. Organizations that we associated with for AY 2022-23 are: Altromondo, CredMate, Sammantrya & Ken Research.

Upcoming Events in 2023-24

Elumiere is the annual flagship event of Ecovision: The Economics Society of SSCBS, it is one of the most innovative events at the collegiate level with competitions that inspire excellence amongst all its participants. It creates an opportunity for college students to compete in events that not only challenge their pre-existing knowledge and expertise but also compel them to think out of the box. So we are planning to have an offline event this year too with various types of competitions in it.

  • We plan to continue our fortnightly series which breaks down and explains current economic and financial phenomena through graphic visual representations of data & facts. It already has an active subscriber base of 1700+ people, we plan on extending it to 2000.
  • We plan to introduce a new series on fundamental analysis of stock markets on our social media handles named Ticker Tales.
  • We plan to conduct several more knowledge sharing sessions (KSS) not only for the current students but also for the upcoming batch on Economics and related disciplines. We also plan to add important skills necessary in today’s corporate world, such as Microsoft Excel, Canva/Photoshop, etc. For eg: A KSS was conducted this year to teach attendees the concept and practical application of Time Value of Money and Valuation.
  • We will tap our wide base of alumni and prominent industry specialists and speakers to build relations in the corporate world and gain practical experience, through various webinars, thus equipping students with knowledge across various domains.
  • We will also partake in multiple Live Projects with leading companies and startups. While working on these projects, members will gain practical knowledge and understand the nature of work in real life. As management students, we specialise in economic matters and quantitative research and can help companies in optimising their cost to benefit ratio, return on investment, building business strategies & analysing big data through various means.
  • We intend to organise an intra-college competition where the students will be given an opportunity to test their strategic, analytical and data-modelling skills to solve a simulation game based on real world scenario as they put their best foot forward to compete with their peers. It will also serve as a means for them to learn new concepts and add on to their knowledge base.

Like every year, Team Ecovision plans to participate in Atharva’24, the annual management fest of IIM Indore. We shall take part in a range of competitions based on different concepts – economics, marketing, HR, finance, strategy formulation, entrepreneurship ideas, etc. with utmost enthusiasm, dedication, and perseverance and bring laurels each year.
