The second day featured a series of engaging competitions that challenged students to think beyond conventional solutions and put their managerial and entrepreneurial skills into action. Instapreneur – The Digital Brand Challenge tested students’ creativity and understanding of digital branding and was judged by Prof. Anjali Tiwari, Chairperson – Cultural Committee, and Prof. Shalini Nath Tripathi, Area Chair – Marketing Area.

The spirit of innovation took centre stage with INNOVATEX – The Innovation Hackathon, where students transformed ideas into innovative solutions. The event was judged by Prof. Devesh Kumar, Faculty – Business Analytics, and Prof. Varsha Madeshia, Faculty – Finance. Meanwhile, Operation Unicorn – The Startup Simulation offered students an opportunity to experience the challenges of building and managing a startup, with Prof. Upendra Nath Shukla, Program Chair – PGDM First Year, and Prof. Sujit Patra, Faculty – Marketing, serving as judges.

Adding a distinctive blend of confidence, creativity, and professional flair was the Corporate Ramp Walk, judged by Prof. Shivam Azad, Chair – Sports Committee, and Prof. Abha R. Dixit, Area Chair – Business and Professional Communication. The event saw students step into the spotlight and demonstrate poise, presentation skills, and professional presence.

The celebrations also included moments of appreciation and togetherness. A cheerful cake-cutting ceremony brought together Dr. Sushma Vishnani, Director, faculty members, and staff, adding a warm celebratory touch to the proceedings. In a thoughtful gesture of appreciation, support staff members were also presented with gifts, recognising their valuable contribution to the smooth conduct of the event.

With students actively participating, presenting ideas, receiving accolades, and collaborating throughout the day, Day 2 reflected the true spirit of E-FEST: ideas moving from imagination to action. The two-day fest successfully created a platform where creativity met strategy, innovation met execution, and learning extended well beyond the classroom.
