Said Mohammad Shatab, a student of final year MBA (HR and Marketing) and one of the organisers of the fest, “The Best Manager event was the major attraction of this fest and even the HR event, in which the participants were grilled, was a lot of fun. We had worked on this fest for over one-and-a-half months and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had.”
