XLRI Concludes its Flagship Event 'Ensemble 2008'
Post-event Press-release

Ensemble attracted participation from the premier business and technical schools across the country who vied for top honours in the two-day fest. Students came in from top B-schools across the country such as IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, FMS Delhi, MDI Gurgaon, IIFT Delhi as well as IIM Kozhikode, IIM Lucknow and XIM

Bhubaneshwar. Total prize money, including informal events, was around INR 8.0-8.5 Lakhs, which was distributed amongst students from these B-schools. They were also awarded goody-bags and mementos of the event.

The event drew a slew of support from the corporate circle and included the who’s who of corporate India including the Aditya Birla Group, who was the prime partner for the fest. The individual events also included corporates such as ITC, Tata Steel, Accenture, HSBC, GSK, BIG FM, Tata Teleservices and kitnebaje.com. Other partners included NDTV, Human Capital, Zuari Cement, Swastik, Myntra, The Pioneer, Brand Reporter and the National Innovation Foundation. The interest shown from the corporate world was heartening for both organizers and participants as it can only bode well for increased interaction between the industry and the institute, and will further the strong relationship between XLRI and the corporate world.

The event finally culminated in a fantastic, rip-roaring rock-show by 'Parikrama', one of India’s finest rock bands. It was the perfect finale after two grueling days for both participants and organizers, who finally let themselves go to a great performance by both bands. Parikrama played some of their original hits, along with some classic rock songs. They were then followed on by 'Span', who also entertained the crowd with a heady mix of popular rock numbers and original compositions. Ensemble 2008 was a grand success for the students of XLRI, and has paved the way for further organization of such events of an even grander scale.
