MinVentor is a smart, AI powered vendor management solution that helps MSMEs streamline procurement, manage inventory, and evaluate supplier performance more effectively.

Developed by second year MBA students Abhishek Shah, Sagar Nandaniya, Ayush Suba, and Shashank Jain from the Amrut Mody School of Management, the project was recognised at PDEU’s Nirman 1.0 Business Plan Competition, where it stood out among 86 teams and received an award.

It’s a great example of what the Ahmedabad MBA is all about: applying what you learn to solve real world problems that matter.

There are no two ‘rights’ when it comes to business ethics. Satya Jha, Partner and Chief Business Officer at Grant Thornton Bharat, shared real-life lessons on ethical decision-making, exploring the complexities of AI’s responsible use in business.

The session sparked an engaging discussion among MBA students of AMSOM, who posed critical questions about moral dilemmas - debating how what is morally wrong may not always be legally wrong and whether ethical judgments on business decisions should shift depending on the context.

Learning directly from senior business leaders like Satya Jha gave students invaluable insights into navigating these grey areas, equipping them with a deeper, more practical understanding of ethics in real-world decision-making.
