from this year onwards which focuses on improving the industry interface. This is a

year long course, mandatory for all second year students. In the first trimester, they get

exposed to four emerging sectors and carefully selected research analysts who specialize in those sector

take analytical sessions. Each student selects 2 sectors of his choice for writing a detailed sector analysis

report. In the second trimester, company executives from selected sectors having future are invited to share their

understanding as a part of panel discussions. Each student writes three Enterprise Analysis Reports based on such

exposures and self study. In the third trimester, each student visits a minimum of three visionary Enterprises of his

Key role of the FLAME Alumni Association

§ To provide a platform that will facilitate and enable former students to continue to be interested and involved in the life of the Institute

§ To serve as a vehicle that will strive for continual improvement of alumni on an individual and collective basis through the process of networking and role modelling.

Key initiatives

FLAME is a young Institute with only two convocations to date. Although our alumni numbers are relatively small, we have taken an early and earnest approach to building our alumni association.

In this regard we have achieved the following:

§ Ensured that all alumni are always informed of and invited to upcoming graduations and other special events. Although geographic and/or work constraints restrict attendance for some, we feel it is a step to ensure pass outs continue to feel part of their Alma matter.

§ Hosting of an annual alumni lunch that is attended by not just alumni but also the families of alumni and upcoming graduates. This event we believe provides an ideal opportunity for alumni to not only rekindle old connections and contacts but also establish new ones.

§ Establishment of FAN – the FLAME Alumni Network association that serves as a professional and personal networking channel for our alumni thereby better enabling alumni to remain in touch with each other and the Institute.

§ Development of a quarterly Alumni Newsletter. The aim of this initiative is to help “pass outs” to be kept aware of latest/important developments with the Institute and each other.

Life at FLAME was a process of metamorphosis. The years at FLAME have helped in shaping up not just as a professional but as a human in general. The rich learning experience at FLAME brings out the best in you. FLAME also exposed me to a lot of streams of knowledge apart from the management course which has helped me to develop my personality and explore my creativity. Living in the valleys of FLAME has been one of the best experiences of my life.

Vikram Gurnani

2009

"I can easily say that the best times of my life were the two years that I spent in FLAME. Nowhere else would I have found such a perfect combination of work and play, the best of professors, a huge variety of subjects and a plethora of co-curricular activities to choose from!

I will always remember the beauty of the campus, all my friends, and most importantly the faculty whose constant efforts pushed all of us to dream bigger, work harder and achieve more than our own expectation!"

Sonal Rajapurkar

Gold Medalist 2010

Student's Testimonial

FLAME for me was a platform to learn, an opportunity to explore, environment to question and a space to reflect. With a palette of these opportunities I discovered a new self in me backed by its reputed faculty and state of the

art infrastructure. Being at FLAME has taught me the importance of discipline and the beauty of freedom. Its

shown me good times and bad, achievements and failures, friends and foes - but through it all, it has always

taught me to do the right thing.

Miten Vora

Silver Medalist, 2009

FLAME has given me two years full of learning, self-improvement, motivation, inspiration, bonding and

friends for life. Be it ELITE or FLAME Rural Marketing Fair or a lecture taken by our prestigious faculty- each

experience took me to higher level of growth and helped me become a better leader and a human being. FLAME

has made me what I am today.

Life at FLAME was a process of metamorphosis. The years at FLAME have helped in shaping up not just as a professional but as a human in general. The rich learning experience at FLAME brings out the best in you. FLAME also exposed me to a lot of streams of knowledge apart from the management course which has helped me to develop my personality and explore my creativity. Living in the valleys of FLAME has been one of the best experiences of my life.

"I can easily say that the best times of my life were the two years that I spent in FLAME. Nowhere else would I have found such a perfect combination of work and play, the best of professors, a huge variety of subjects and a plethora of co-curricular activities to choose from!

I will always remember the beauty of the campus, all my friends, and most importantly the faculty whose constant efforts pushed all of us to dream bigger, work harder and achieve more than our own expectation!"

Student's Testimonial

FLAME for me was a platform to learn, an opportunity to explore, environment to question and a space to reflect. With a palette of these opportunities I discovered a new self in me backed by its reputed faculty and state of the

art infrastructure. Being at FLAME has taught me the importance of discipline and the beauty of freedom. Its

shown me good times and bad, achievements and failures, friends and foes - but through it all, it has always

taught me to do the right thing.

FLAME has given me two years full of learning, self-improvement, motivation, inspiration, bonding and

friends for life. Be it ELITE or FLAME Rural Marketing Fair or a lecture taken by our prestigious faculty- each

experience took me to higher level of growth and helped me become a better leader and a human being. FLAME

has made me what I am today.
