28 JULY, 2019: Vista 2019, the three-day business fest organized from July 26-28 by the two-year MBA students of IIM Bangalore, had acclaimed leaders from industry and society engage with management students on a variety of subjects ranging from building powerful social networks to the strategies that start-ups must adopt in order to scale.
The focus of the fest was on ‘Command, Conquer, Captivate’, where industry executives spoke about the need for a leader to strategize and find new methods that strengthen existing business. The three words, said the organizing team of Vista 2019, depict the different set of activities required at different stages of a business and the importance of leadership at each stage. Featuring an array of workshops and events ranging from case studies and panel discussions to trading games and corporate strategy simulations, Vista 2019 raised the bar for B-School business fests.
