IMPERIO ‘21 - #AUGMENTTOEVOLVE



CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Lavasa, has been consistently working towards helping young students evolving holistically, all the while focussing on its vision - Excellence and Service. In light of this, the School of Business and Management Association, as an effort to strengthen the ignited festing spirit among the students, organised IMPERIO ‘21 - an intra class business fest conducted for the first and second-year students of the School of Business and Management.

The tagline of the fest Augment to Evolve rightly highlights the inception of the fest. The previous year’s intra-departmental fest IGNITE ‘20, as its name suggests, ignited a festing spirit among the youngsters. IMPERIO ‘21 this year, has rekindled the spirit and pushed the students to augment and grow in order to evolve into their better selves. IMPERIO 2021’s thematic inspiration was taken from hashtags and all events resonated the same essence of plans of action that must be implemented for giving one the ability to augment and consequently, evolve.

The organising committee of the fest designed a variety of meticulously planned events that covered most ground in the business realm. These events simulated real-life corporate business scenarios and helped students prepare for what is lying ahead of them. The fest was conducted on the 18th and 19th of May 2021. 


18th May marked the beginning of Imperio ’21. The event on day 1 started off with the inauguration ceremony with the honorable chief guest Dr. Jain Mathew, Professor & Dean, School of Business and Management, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore Central Campus, announcing Imperio ‘21 open. Ms. Monica Lawrence, Assistant Professor, Department of Commerce and Management, formally welcomed the students and motivated them to participate with enthusiasm and vigor. 


The 7 BBA classes : 1 BBA A, 1 BBA B, 1 BBA C, 1 BBA D, 2 BBA A, 2 BBA B and 2 BBA C; were each given a pseudonym : #TBH, #TGIF, #IDK, #YOLO, #NetflixnChill, #TBT and #NoFilter respectively. These pseudonyms were used by the participants of each class while taking part in any event. We saw a total of 291 students participating in full zest and zeal.

Day 1 covered a few rounds and ended with an overnight task. Day 2 covered the rest of the rounds and thrilling finales. The fest ended with the valedictory ceremony, where students displayed a healthy competitive spirit, cheering for their classes. The events were aptly classified into 8:
