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 i
was their only way to enter LIFELINE- AXIOM’s 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 outheir best in the students and provide a valuable learning experience for them.
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.
