It gave us the information about banking and the financial areas of economy, how they work, how foreign exchange works and about investment banking”.
Another student of IPER, Harsha Manwani, who attended the E Summit said, “I got an insight of the entrepreneur world. The Game of Thrones competition was a competition where we were given situations with characters of the series in focus. Each participant had to allocate 100 virtual coins to elements like Food, Horsemen, Archer, etc.”
“I participated in Virtual Trading. Every participant in it had to invest a maximum of 64 Lacs to 8 startups showcased through video presentations. I also had the chance to converse with professionals who shared information of their startups. It was an amazing summit to attend”, added Harsha.
