Different backgrounds. Different experiences. One challenge.
That was the thought behind Belong @ Campus Connect+ 2.0.
Our Semester 3 students from MBA and undergraduate programmes came together from different cities, states and countries, bringing diverse backgrounds and experiences — some beginning their professional journey, others bringing years of work experience.
Across 175 students and 20 teams, they were given 2 days to explore real-world themes —from digital literacy for India's elderly and fair opportunities for low-wage workers to supporting independent artisans, homeschooling and the growing world of gaming — and turn their understanding of these challenges into meaningful business ideas.
But the real learning went beyond the final presentation.
Students had to listen to different perspectives, work with people they had just met, question their own assumptions, divide responsibilities, make decisions and communicate their ideas with confidence.
For us at NMIMS CDOE, this is the value of creating opportunities where learning happens through interaction, application and experience.
A special thank you to our jury members Achal Mittal, Co-founder, LiquiLoans; Chayan Mukhopadhyay, COO, Pluckk; and Faiz Sirkhot, Founder & CEO, Lineup Technology Services and LineupX, for bringing their industry experience, questions and perspectives to the student presentations.
And a heartfelt thank you to all the students, academic team, faculty, and every team behind the scenes for making Belong @ Campus Connect+ 2.0 a meaningful experience.
It truly takes a collective effort to create meaningful learning experiences — and Belong @ Campus Connect+ 2.0 was a reflection of that spirit.
