As a part of Ensemble, AXIOM had its flagship event HELIOS and domain event CASCADE which had a simulation event and a series of Operations based challenges respectively. Helios was a simulation game where the teams were expected to do the production & capacity planning for a product. It was devised to test the ability of the teams in planning their capacity, resource management & forecasting the products etc. There were teams from NITIE, SIBM and other renowned B schools participating in this event.

Cascade was a bit on the lighter side. It involved 3 stages in which each of the stages were devised to test the theoretical knowledge of the contestants in the field of operations & supply chain. Both the events had online prelims.

KRONOS - the Operations quizzing league was revived after a hiatus. There were two online quizzes which had almost 36 teams participating in all. It was a quiz worth fighting for as it was their only way to enter LIFELINE- AXIOMs brand new simulation event. The top 6 in the leader board made it to LIFELINE

LIVE PROJECTS: Two live projects were floated and after shortlisting of CVs by the respective companies around 10 students were assigned some challenges to work on by Salt & Soap Retail Ltd and GYATK RVCR Apparatus Ltd. Salt and soap is an online retail chain based out of Kolkatta while GYATK is a company that has been making strides in the automotive industry with its Variable compression ratio technique. The projects are quite challenging and are intended to bring out their best in the students and provide a valuable learning experience for them.

TIME FOR SOME SIMULATION

The top 6 teams from KRONOS were in for some tight walk as the prdeictions of the teams were pretty close. It was a problem on optimising the movement in a hospital based on seasonal data. After 4 rounds of simulation our Drac quiz master Pritwish Datta emerged victorious along with the other seasoned quizzer - Francis Thomas.
