Mission "SIFE"........mixed experiences

SIFE - "A head for business and a heart for the world"
sife is student in free enterprise,provides platform to students to showcase their entrepreneurial approach and the line mentioned above is its tag line and a jist of what sife is all about.

Well, it all started from the day ,when me and my friend sagar decided to be a part of SIFE OIST team.The whole team was working under the guidance of prof. Pankaj sir(faculty adviser).
Unenlightened about what actually SIFE is?  and the kind of platform we are about to get, we started working over it, to get complete insight of our project CETS(centre for educational and technology services) on which our seniors were already working.

Initially we were full of zeal so did a lot of meetings, delivered presentation in front of our management (to get support :p), brought up a domain etc.

As days went off we started heading towards our so called "high time" when feelings pop out that now is the time to study otherwise.........

So decided to just keep aside our project and start concentrating on the unprecedented and incessant syllabus...:-x......we had a showdown on 29th of june in Mumbai ,where the project was to be presented in th form of a competition with  some of the top B-schools(welingker, nitie, iit-D etc....for instance).

Knowing the fact that we are just left with just one month in hand to prepare for for both our end sem and for the project......at some point of time we decided to leave the project and concentrate on studies. But we(5 member-ed team ) still managed somehow to get over this difficult situation.

Finally we were all set to rock and roll at the D-day.......we were aware of the fact that the rest of the competitors must be having an experience of atleast 1yr......our project ws just 3-4 months old ,but then we thought no matter what the result would be, we just have to give our best.

Finally on 29th of june after a 4hr. delay(oh shit!!!!) we reached mumbai @10am.........feeling drowsy,tired we somehow managed to get a taxi and reached the venue( intercontinental hotel )......@3pm we gave a shot, and were appreciated by the judges for our enthu. to present and compete with B-schools while being a UG.

And we managed to secure a position of 13 out of 20 teams......though we couldn't make it to the semis but still we earned a lot of experience.... which was worth sharing with the people.

So this was all about my experience ,hope u enjoyed!!!!!...........:)
