IIM Ranchi will host the third edition of the business conclave RADIX on the January 28 and 29, at BNR Chanakya, Ranchi. Keeping in line with the tradition to capture the views of the visiting guests on themes, this year’s theme is ‘Turning the Ocean Blue’.

RADIX, the brainchild of the students of IIM Ranchi, was a vision born in 2015. Looking back, RADIX began with a focus on the most dynamic factors that affect the business world – Big Data and Analytics.

RADIX provides the students of IIM Ranchi a platform to interact with the leading industry stalwarts. It provides a base to complement the learning imbibed at a B-school, with the hands-on experience from the industry which the students aspire to be a part of. It gives students the opportunity to learn about real life challenges faced in the industry.

The need to incorporate right values in young minds, impart education relevant for a world that is ever connected, and encourage healthy competition and collaboration is the reason behind the motto of RADIX — Connect, Enthuse, Foster .

Over the years, RADIX has evolved and tapped into all major domains of the industry: marketing, consulting, operations, finance, and HR. Last year saw CXOs from Nomura, Snapdeal and KPMG, among others, participate in the event. This year will see speakers from top management at Lenovo, Godrej, Bombardier and Dun and Bradstreet, among others. The speakers, faculty, and students will interact over the two-day event and exchange views on the theme as well as other aspects of the ever-changing world of business.
