Delhi, Jaipur and Pune....

2008 was the year when Coffee With SIBM reached out to the MBA aspirants community on a much larger scale.. 15 cities and an audience of 6000+..These numbers speak for themselves..However, they do not convey the tremendous satisfaction that came along with it for both the sides, the aspirants as well as the MBA students of present..

Delhi, Jaipur and Pune are some examples that come to mind instantly..

Organizing the event in the Delhi university area was a great experience as the energy of the lively college crowds was quite infectious and it caught on to us as well! The quantity and quality of questions raised was quite heartening and encouraging..

The pink city was indeed very receptive and lived up to its ‘Padharo Mhare Desh’ tradition! The turnout was much more than anticipated and the enthusiasm was to be seen to be believed..The mock test also turned out to be a huge winner among the aspirants and helped them evaluate themselves better..

Pune was more like a team performing on its home ground! But here too we were in for a pleasant surprise! The turnout turned out to be more than thrice the numbers expected..However, to deal with this situation, we quickly regrouped in small groups of 15-20 each and ensured that every query was answered fully and satisfactorily..

Here’s hoping for more and more such experiences as we reach out to even more cities in 2009..Hope to see you there!
