Editor's Message
As the year draws to a close, we have come mid-way in a journey that started last December. The ‘School Special’ editions of Spandan, which commenced with the focus on the Sarla Anil Modi School of Economics in December 2010, have tried to focus on the other Schools of NMIMS in the last 12 months. We covered the School of Science, the Shobhaben Pratapbhai Patel School of Pharmacy and Technology Management and the Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management and Engineering.
Meanwhile, the Editorial team has expanded round the middle. We now have an editorial team comprising of student editors, Kashyap Swaroop, Sanket Baxi, Vaibhav Narula from the MPSTME and Chirag Mehta from the Sarla Anil Modi School of Economics. The new look of the Spandan is largely due to the efforts of our young team of students.
The spotlight focuses on the Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce this quarter. The undergraduate School of NMIMS, offering the B.Com (Hons.) and BBA programs, has become one of the most sought-after Schools in Mumbai today. Headed by the new Dean In-charge, Ms. Sangita Kher, the School is making rapid strides in both the academic and socio-cultural spheres.
Featured herein are articles put together by the dynamic students of the ASMSOC led by their faculty, Ms. Manju Meenakshy. Read on to find out the ‘Hows’ and ‘Wherefores’ of success in business, unravel the mystery of the new three-letter F word in India- ‘FDI’, the bull runs on the stock market and also the shattering of the glass ceiling in India with the entry of women entrepreneurs and businesswomen. The guest editorial by the team, led by Siddhant Mishra, sheds light on the ‘Not so Good times’ that the ‘King of Good Times’ is going through.
The December issue of Spandan carries news from all our Schools. We are happy to feature news from NMIMS, Bengaluru and from our Shirpur campus additionally this quarter. Read on about the goings-on at our various Schools and campuses, update yourself with the student and faculty achievements, the awards and distinctions received, the international visitors and tie-ups as also with the research progress in the various Schools.
We are also featuring a new ‘Feedback’ page where we would be happy to share your comments and feedback. We look forward to your enthusiastic response to the same.
