Vista 2010-11 kicked off in style today with a grand inauguration ceremony held in the auditorium, attended by more than 200 participants both from IIM-B and outside. The podium was held by esteemed guests – Mr Zhooben Bhiwandiwala (EVP, Mahindra Partners), Mr. Prince Augustine(EVP, Human Capital) and Prof. B. Mahadevan (Dean, Administration IIMB).
The opening events saw a great response with the quant focused game Get Nashty having such overwhelming participation that organizers had to book an extra room to accommodate everyone. The exciting new trading game Nilaami was rocked by three times the number of expected participants, with 200 people turning up. Other new events like Excelsior and Darwin’s Darling were great successes as well, having drama, tension and intense involvement from both participants and judges.
Vista 2010-11 also had its dose of relaxation, with participants making full use of the rock climbing and gaming facilities that were available. The Xbox consoles were a big draw for those looking for a break from the intensity of Day One.
