For Karvy Go Trade we have over 200 registrations with each team getting an exposure of Rs 60,000. So that makes it around Rs 1.2 crore event which is sure Huge. As the game is real time and teams are still paying up, we'll have a better idea when the process moves into the next stage. But all of us here do feel that we might be on the way to break a few records here

Apart from this just have a look at the luminaries who have graced Manfest in the past:

Mr. Kapil Dev
Mr. Arun Maira
Mr. Pradeep Baijal
Mr. jug Suraiya
Capt. Gopinath
Mr. Dilip Chabria
Mr. Chandan Mitra
Mr. Muzzafa Ali

and the list is endless. It can be easily seen that each eminent personality is a frontrunner in his industry. So if thirst for real business knowledge from the leaders in the industry is what excites you, Manfest is the event for you !

adios

hi guys!

Plagiarism is the flavour of the season.
FMS Fiesta quiz did it. Now its Manfest's turn to outdo them.. Good going guys!!!

For ppl who are still clueless, IIML manfest's Ops OBT Prelims all the questions were "lifted" from McGraw-Hill website's Multiple Choice Questions.

There is a limit guys...
These were questions from Operations Management for Competetive Advantage by Chase , Jacobs, and Acquilano. And all of them were available online.

I don't think Googling is unethical as everyone does it.
A simple googling would have got anyone any question...and we did the same..

We confirmed that mails from 4 teams here were recd very very early...

Y dint any team from here qualify??? what say guys?Just to let u guys know that we had qualified for the first two days for OBT.
