Students from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBIMS) have won the second "Global Investment Research Challenge" conducted by the CFA Institute, USA. The team from JBIMS has won the national championship and will now be representing India at a global level against students from B-Schools all over the world.
The JBIMS team comprising of Dr. Ranjan Sharma, Swathi Velisetty, Kirang Tanna and Ravi Gupta won the national level championship beating the top teams from the country’s premier management colleges. They now move onto Singapore to compete at Asia-Pacific level. This win signifies the content and knowledge building at JBIMS wherein students not only perform at academic level but also apply them at such competitions of international repute.
Describing her experience at the finals Swathi Velisetty says “The level of other participants were equally good, but I think what worked in our favour was the practical approach we displayed – a trait which we have developed due to the close proximity of JBIMS to corporate India”
Ravi Gupta who is also a part of the Finance Club at JBIMS attributes this effort to the focus on the underlying concepts at JBIMS. “At JBIMS, we always try to understand the concepts from a fundamental point of view. In the long run, it is this thorough understanding of the concepts that will catapult us to the top of the corporate echelon; success in this competition is just a case in point!” says Ravi Gupta
