Lets make Maha MANDI bigger and better next year.. 2016
Hi Friends,
With my experience in MahaMandi, 8th august 2015, I personally felt some more steps could be taken next year to promote it more.Some of them i am listing down which would be of great help to expand this event further and make this event even more successful..
1. Though Section C guys had a slight advantage. Certain workshops can be conducted before Maha-Mandi to help students know these products covering all the aspects well. Then only they would be able to sell these effectively. A pamphlet can be made on the most important features of the product.
2. People can also be made aware on how to approach people while selling. They should be able to target the right audience and right market. A guy we met at Hiranandani did not buy the product because his son was busy playing in iphone and he is bored about the product. Though we pitched again saying, it's the right time to help him divert, we were not successful.
3. Its better that students present their product by giving the customers live demo of its use by making some shape of it rather than explaining everything verbally. It certainly gives a better impact on the customer and increases the chances of its purchase. At times it is uneasy to carry, but the potential benefit is really high.
4. The inventory could be made available at various other parts of Mumbai on the day of this event. We have witnessed students selling their whole inventory within 1 hour also. Predicting this much success 1 day before while teams were purchasing the inventory was not possible, so next year this could be tried by organizers.
5. I think its time for Maha-Mandi to be promoted even outside Mumbai. Participation in this event is a must for any MBA student so it could be encouraged further also to nearby colleges outside Mumbai as a start. We can find colleges to take responsibility for this initiative and make this event a pan-India event.
6. Participation in this event should be made a compulsory event for every NITIE students.This is an event that separates NITIE from other B-Schools. If students from other colleges can participate in such a large scale, we as a part of NITIE has a duty to set example before them. As student during enrollment do not understand the importance of the event and later regret for missing the wonderful opportunity.
This year REPEAT concept based Socho Becho Seeko was awesome, Looking forward [to repeat] for participation in Maha mandi 2016, promoted and experienced at a bigger scale !!!

Below is the video of my dream, in our NITIE campus, Thanks to Godrej for making me dream. Though my dream didn't get realized through the fund from Godrej, I'm determined that this dream should become true.
So that it would help the forthcoming batches of NITIE...
