NRS had got all you needed to know about the retail industry in India. The two day summit consisted of events like Panel Discussion, Retail Mela, Kurukshetra (Pan India Case Study Competition) and Retail Khichdi.

Day 1 of NRS started with Kurukshetra, one of the biggest retail based case study competitions of the country exclusively designed for the students pursuing post-graduation in the field of Marketing, Communications and Retail Management. It tested the strategic and analytical skills of the participants and provided them the opportunity to explore the deeper side of their learning concepts and implement them in practical problems or situations.

The case study competition was followed  by a Humming and Learning session by Mr. Hariharan Iyer, a Motivational Speaker, Corporate Trainer, Mentor & Author ,who is also a recipient of the Karmaveer Chakra .
