School of Business and Management – BBA organised the Week 10 Club Activity on November 22nd, 2025, at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune Lavasa Campus, as part of its continuous effort to integrate experiential learning into the curriculum. The event continued the school’s strong commitment to using simulation-based, interactive, and skill-driven activities to enhance the professional, analytical, and communication abilities of BBA students. Designed around the central theme of “Pressure Testing,” the sessions encouraged participants to think critically, respond swiftly, and collaborate effectively in a wide range of high-stakes scenarios that reflected real-world business environments.

Across the eight clubs under the School of Business and Management, students took part in a series of immersive activities, including simulations, role-plays, forensic investigations, rapid decision-making tasks, and creative communication challenges. The Finance Club transformed its classroom into a dedicated Financial Investigation Unit, where students worked collaboratively to solve the BrightTech Fraud Case. By examining bank statements, email trails, ledger inconsistencies, and transaction records, students uncovered a ₹25,00,000 internal fraud. This activity strengthened their understanding of internal controls, auditing principles, and evidence-based reasoning.

The SMPR Club conducted a highly engaging press conference simulation, dividing participants into PR Teams and Press Teams. Students practiced crisis communication, message framing, and strategic response management in a tense, corporate-like environment. The club also conducted a second activity titled “One Minute to Impress Yourself,” which required students to break down complex ideas into simple explanations within a minute. This exercise improved conceptual clarity and verbal articulation skills.

The Communicat Club encouraged creativity and expressive confidence by asking students to create exaggerated, humorous TV commercials for random household objects such as slippers, pens, and spoons. This activity promoted imaginative thinking, effective use of gestures, and confidence in public speaking. The HRM Club introduced students to the realities of recruitment through a fast-paced 20-second CV screening challenge. Students had to make instantaneous “Hire/No Hire” decisions, after which they reflected on unconscious biases and the importance of structured hiring processes.

The ED Club conducted a unique “Controversial 90s Ads” activity where students defended ethically questionable advertisements. This exercise enhanced impromptu speaking abilities, logical reasoning, and persuasive communication. The Analytics Club reinforced digital and analytical literacy by introducing students to Lovable, an AI-powered website creation tool. Participants experimented with AI-generated layouts, dashboards, and data components, gaining insights into modern AI-integrated workflows.

The Marketing Club strengthened strategic evaluation skills through detailed SWOT analyses of Shark Tank pitches, teaching students to assess market potential, risk factors, and business viability. Meanwhile, the MDQ Club facilitated a powerful and emotionally engaging debate on women's safety policies, blending political reasoning with social awareness. The Week 10 Club Activity organised by the School of Business and Management – BBA successfully blended creativity, pressure-based simulations, and practical business exercises, offering students a highly enriching and professionally relevant learning experience.
