‘Serendipity’ the annual B-School event of Globsyn Business School (GBS) was organized by the students on 7th January 2010 at the Ahmedabad campus, as the inaugural edition. Seen as the trend setters, we had huge responsibility to build and execute ‘Serendipity 2010’ successfully.
Since we did not have a benchmark to look back so we did not have a pattern to follow. But instead of seeing it as an obstacle; we took this problem head on and built everything on our own. The learning we obtained is that, when you have no guidance no path to follow, you must choose your own path and own will; what would come out of that would be fresh, creative, immune from being stereotyped and would be of the highest order and such was ‘Serendipity 2010’ for the 1st batch of GBS-A.
After the opening ceremony on the d-day we had ‘Corporate Summit’ where senior executives from the industry came and shared their experience. Then it was followed by events like – Grandmaster, Plan D’ Affairs, and a Short Film Competition where students from different b-school participated. The evening was celebrated with a cultural function presented by the students of Globsyn Business School. The day concluded with ‘Dinner’ where we proudly hosted our parents for the first time.
‘Serendipity’ with its motto, ‘Discover Happiness’ led all of us to actually infer its real meaning and the deep thoughts involved behind conducting this event. With an insight and vision of carrying out ‘Serendipity’ as a totally students managed activity, the institute again gave us a concrete learning experience and a chance to discover ourselves in a whole new manner.
