As expected SIMERGENCE '06 concluded with a grand success. Organised in the International Conference Hall of Bombay Stock Exchange by Sydenham Institute of Management, the event saw most of the corporate big shots descending on the holy turf and giving their views to the enthralled audience that comprised students and faculty members of various business schools .

It was really convergence of the corporate world and the academic fraternity which is one of the ways that the institute looks forward to extend its tie-up with industry.

The event saw panel discussions taking place on three wide topics under the theme "India Inc on the Path of Conquest of the World". In the presence of Mr. Nanik Rupani (Chairman, Enkay Telecommunications), Mr. Rajnikant Patel (MD & CEO, BSE) and Mr. Uday Salunkhe, (Director, Wellingkar Institute of Management), the event was set rolling .

The panel members not only gave their views but also made it interactive session with the students whereby they were allowed to ask questions on the relevant issues and it must be said that each question was done justice with the well-structured answers. The students were enlightened and enriched by this session.

On the lighter side, some of the panelists who did their B-schooling from Sydenham itself shared their thoughts on the days gone by and how the learning at Sydenham has helped them reach the pinnacle of corporate success ladder, and remarked that the institute is a center of excellence in imparting management education.
