Manthan
Manthan is based on the premise that “Managing New threats and Anomalies” is of utmost importance. Management Conclave is an annual event at FIIB. This initiative has been taken to introduce upcoming management professionals to the new normal of society and to make them aware of how the globe is adapting to this change. This concept of ‘Manthan’ relates to UN SDG Goal 8 which states that “Sustained and inclusive economic growth can drive progress, create decent jobs for all and improve living standards”. Business graduates benefit from this activity as it provides them with the experience to interact with industry stalwarts and prepare them for the upcoming challenges of the industry.
Marching in tune with the ideology of the event, MANTHAN 2022. With the theme, “Digital economy: A leveller or a source of economic inequality” examines the gamut of internal & external changes thrown ahead of businesses & entrepreneurs. The event unfolds as experts express their views on the same in an insightful discussion ranging across the far-reaching impact into the multi-dimensions of managing the business.

Meraki
Meraki is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be. People have the business acumen but the lack of the right platform to shape their ideas into reality, makes these ideas fizzle out.
Meraki (Annual Business Plan Competition) aims to stimulate entrepreneurship among students. Teams are challenged to conceive a new service or product offering, and then create a business plan and concept pitch video aimed at convincing potential investors to finance the business.
Each year, the three best submissions are selected by a jury of business professionals and academics to compete in the Final Round.

Education Leader Conference
As a result of the current pandemic situation, higher education had to react swiftly and make daunting decisions on how to restructure the teaching and learning process, along with research and other activities. Consequently, the well-being and prospects of countless individuals as well as of entire societies are inextricably linked to how the academic community and its leaders responded to the Covid-19 crisis.
FIIB’s Educational Leaders Conference highlights best practices, shares ideas and provides personal development and networking opportunities to our vibrant professional staff community. The conference will provide an opportunity to share experiences of hybrid working, explore ways of dealing with the challenges, and make the best use of opportunities that this unique situation presents.
Responsibility Submmit
Having Sustainability as a core pillar of our culture and brand, we have adopted responsible management education practices since our inception and have been increasingly linking business education with social objectives. FIIB celebrates its Founder’s Day every year in the form of Sustainability Summit to honor the Institute’s founder Mr. RK Shrivastava. The Annual Sustainability Summit witnesses speakers from renowned organizations who reflect and debate upon initiatives that aim in creating profitable ventures through the route of sustainability. The aim of the Summit is to confer on topics leading to interactive business-level discussions generating insights into critical issues that affect society at large and eventually coming up with implementable solutions that may leave a better footprint for the future. On this day, our students showcase their work done during the Social Internship Program.
Under the SIP, students partner with various Social Sector Organisations (SSOs) to work on projects that align with the needs of the sponsoring organization. They undertake these projects in groups of 8-10 for 2 weeks. They are full-time mentored by a faculty member, and at the same time, they work with and report to a champion at the organization. The SIP is aimed at encouraging students to contribute beyond self-interest, understand challenges, assess readiness, develop competencies, and to work across differences to mobilize a diverse group of people.

Faculty Development Programme
Faculty development is essential for any higher education institution to create and emphasise learner-centred teaching as well as advance research.
