1.     Preliminaries.                          
        (a)         Business Turks event was initiated on 7^th May 2012, when faculty was divided         into 8 Teams. Each Team was allotted a company/vertical, to be studied by the faculty         team with the intention of creating a database for each company.    

        (b)        All eight Faculty Teams visited the works/offices of the companies allotted to them         (utilizing the summer holidays) and  prepared their Business Plans (to act as future         database) based on the information obtained from the companies/verticals, before opening         up of the college for students.  

        (c)       The students of entire MBA-Semester-III were divided into eight groups (20-21         students in each) and allotted to faculty teams headed by a Faculty Team Leader. These         student teams also interacted with the companies and prepared their own Business Plans.         Faculty provided conceptual guidance to students teams under them (but did not spoon         feed them), culling out information from their own databases created earlier.
