SRCC to host undergraduate finance festival
Finance and Investment Cell of the college aims to provide a stimulus to develop financial instincts among young minds through regular workshops, events
The Finance and Investment Cell of Shri Ram College of Commerce is set to host the 2023 edition of Episteme, one of India’s largest undergraduate finance festivals. The event will take place at the college’s prestigious campus on the 26th, 27th and 29th April 2023, featuring exciting competitions and intriguing speaker sessions encompassing the domains of finance, economics, and geopolitics.
Shri Ram College of Commerce, a specialised college for imparting business education at the University of Delhi, was established in 1926 and has since become the dream of every commerce aspirant in the country. As it reaches 100 years of its establishment, the college has rendered its name among the best in Asia.
Initiated in 2009, the Finance and Investment Cell of the college aims to provide a stimulus to develop financial instincts among young minds through regular workshops, events, and continued collaboration with the industry to bridge the gap between pedagogy and practice.
Episteme has a reputation for hosting world-class enthralling competitions that witness pan-Indian and even global participation; the 2022 edition of the event brought in 14,000+ participants, an achievement only a few can boast of when it comes to festivals.
To carry this legacy forward, Episteme’23 comes with a roster of six captivating competitions:
1. Menace at Metropolis: The flagship event under Episteme’23, Menace is a stock market simulation with an intriguing twist meant to test the trading acumen of newbies and veterans.
2. Shri Ram Fund Face-Off: Step into the shoes of a seasoned fund manager and navigate the storm to generate desired returns for your investors!
3. Shri Ram Case Cade: Each case is a problem to solve, a story to unravel; the participants must think critically and explore all possibilities to crack the case.
4. Shri Ram Policy Battle: An amalgamation of intricate disciplines, policy brings order to chaos. Satisfy all stakeholders to the maximum extent.
5. Shri Ram Pitch(a)thon: Value creation is paramount to the world; will the sharks help your team in this ambitious endeavour? It depends on your pitch. Sweep them off their feet and secure their support.
6. Shri Ram M&A Championship: A fundamental aspect of investment banking, mergers and acquisitions will require the participants to do what’s best for business after rationally evaluating all feasible avenues.
Apart from the fun element of the competitions, the Finance and Investment Cell firmly believes that a financial fest is incomplete without contemplation of economic trends and geopolitical dilemmas. To impart experienced words of wisdom, Episteme’23 will also have an immaculate lineup of influential personalities for speaker sessions and a panel discussion.
