Commenting on Business Today's Acumen initiative, Mr. Pavan Varshnei, Publishing Director, Business Today, said, "It is all about managing tomorrow and in order to do that better, we need to help create and mentor talent today. Acumen is the only such platform that endeavours to identify best minds from across the country."

The topic of the final debate was: 'Globalisation benefits only the developed countries'. Voices were raised, empirical data was tossed around, and at the end, the better team held their heads high in triumph. Then came the B-school Quiz followed by the B-school Alumni Quiz.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Santrupt Misra, Director, Aditya Birla Management Corporation Ltd., said, "We are committed to encouraging the sharpest young minds that will make India a stronger global player. Acumen provides Aditya Birla Group with another opportunity to build tomorrow's global leaders today."

This year's winners, apart from winning the coveted Acumen trophy and certificates, also won a Yamaha Fazer and Gift Hampers. The chief guest for the evening was Mr. Sachin Pilot who gave away the prizes to the winners.

The prize distribution function rounded the festivities off for the day. The audience had got more than their time and energy. The winners got more. Acumen, it must be said, has already become something an aspiring CEO puts on his curriculum vitae.
