“Verve 2009 has always been an exciting forum for young minds to explore their creativity and business acumen through our unique fest themes and events. Every year numerous colleges join us in our celebration of learning and synergy coupled with fun and festivity.

 'Survival of the Fittest' was the theme of Verve 2009 and aimed to provide a platform for future corporate leaders to test this theory. “We chose it as a tribute to the survivors of every battle ever fought  from the Spartan's and Persian and Corporations and Companies who have survived the recession in the wake of the sub-prime crisis,” she added.
