Consulting Journal
FMS Consulting Club has come out with its first edition of Game Plan, a Student Magazine dealing with matters related to the field of Consulting and Strategic management.
The magazine endeavors to provide a platform for academicians, management consultants, corporate executives and students to come together and exchange ideas. The magazine aims to convey firsthand perspectives from leading business thinkers around the world.
The theme for the inaugural issue of Game Plan was "Mergers & Acquisitions" and it was sponsored by the TATA Group. It has been very well received by top International and Indian Business Schools.
Live Projects
Another area of seminal interest for FMS is case studies and live projects. FMS Consulting Club has partnered with firms like Porsche and Aviva to have students take up Live Projects for these firms. These projects provide an immense learning and practical exposure to our students, besides providing an opportunity for companies to tap the wealth of talent at FMS and help gain a new and incisive perspective on complex problems. It allows you to gain access and assess the students who are interested in the work offered by your organization. It's a win-win situation for both the parties as firms can use live projects to outsource some of the work they are engaged in and on which they can't focus immediately.
These projects vary in scope and topics and may involve collecting, analyzing and interpreting data on people, processes, strategies or markets. Typical project duration could vary from a few weeks to 2-3 months.
Guest Lectures
Guest Lectures provide our students the opportunity to interact with executives from the leading organizations in India today. Sharing your immense knowledge can be your greatest gift to our students, the future business leaders. Some of the recently conducted guest lectures included those from Mr. Ranjit Shastri, MD of PSi, former consultant with McKinsey & Company; Prof. Pradeep Dubey of Yale University; Prof Prasad a former faculty at SUNY Stone Brook University.
