The Story in Brief
IIM Bangalore held the third edition of VENIX, its international business and entrepreneurship festival, from August 7 to 9 under the theme 'Nexus of Possibilities'. The three-day event, formed by merging earlier fests Vista and Eximius, brought together students, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers for talks on entrepreneurship, careers, technology, and responsible business.
Speakers included Padma Shri awardee Dr John Ebnezar, who urged students to focus on overall well-being, and former Titan MD CK Venkataraman, who stressed teamwork over individual achievement. Sessions covered AI reshaping the workplace, conscious capitalism, and building businesses in India, with entrepreneurs like Kanika Gupta Shori of Square Yards and Kiran Shah of Go Zero sharing their career journeys.
The Indian Opinion
The VENIX festival is an example of how business schools can create platforms that go beyond academic textbooks to expose students to real-world challenges. While many such events often border on motivational fluff, this edition featured speakers who shared concrete decisions such as Shah leaving a family business that ran for decades to start something new. The real test, however, is how many of the ideas discussed translate into ventures that create jobs rather than just resumes.
