ORION 2014
PPT EVENT
C
RUX conducted
its annual inter
B-school competition ORION in Janu-
ary. The event saw participation of over
100 teams from across India’s top B-schools —
including IIM’s, MDI, IMT Ghaziabad.
The preliminary round was a quiz-based event
which extended to two days. The cumulative
scores of both the quiz rounds were used to
shortlist the top 10 teams for the final round of
the event. The quiz tested the business acu-
men of the contestants as well as their general
awareness. In the final round the participants
had to don the role of consultants and develop a
road map for future expansion of a rural
venture. Teams shot a video of their
case presentations and the same
was evaluated by Arpita Srivastava,
Marketing Professor at XLRI. Team
Wehrmacht from IIM Shillong were
adjudged the winner of the competition and Im-
mortals from the same institute secured the
first runner-up position. The event marked
the end of an eventful year for the CRUX
team of 2013-14.
