Xpressions ‘09, the annual B-school event of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB), kicked off on thursday evening with its flagship corporate panel discussion, ‘Conclave’. This was followed by the official launch of Xpressions, which culminated in a splendid display of fireworks.

These have participants from the top B-schools all over India including IIM’s, XLRI, MDI, IIFT and FMS, and will be played over the course of the next three days.

The topic for ‘Conclave’ this year was ‘Power India – Power Leveraged from all its Diversities’ and attracted eminent speakers from different walks of life to discuss this topic from various viewpoints. In the panel were present Ms. Rashmi Bhansal, co-founder & editor, JAM, and author of the well-acclaimed book, ‘stay hungry stay foolish’, and Mr. Sandeep Pandey, co-founder, Asha for education, Ramon Magsaysay award winner in the emergent leadership category and leading social activist.

Ms. Rashmi Bansal, who is an IIM-A alumnus, started things off by illustrating how, even in diversity, we are all united in dreams and goals in life, and seek to isolate ourselves from the diversity, and how each person should break out his or her own individual diversity and bring his potential to the fore to make a difference to the country.
