MMS students of Dr. V. N. Bedekar Institute of Management Studies (BRIMS), an Autonomous B-school in Thane, brought laurels to their institute by securing the First Runner-up position at Innothon 5.0, an innovative management hackathon conducted by the prestigious Bombay Management Association (BMA). Innothon 5.0 challenged participating B-schools to solve live corporate business problems. The event saw spirited participation from leading management institutes across Mumbai, with teams competing on developing innovative and feasible ideas to tackle critical business problems.

The BRIMS team consisting of Ms. Nidhi Pusalkar, Ms. Srushti Maggirwar, Ms. Sayukta Yadav and Ms. Chaitrali Gogate, under the mentorship of Asst. Prof. Siddhesh Soman, stood out for their innovative solutions, strategic thinking, and impactful presentation. The team invested over two months in data mining, research, brainstorming, developing reports and presentations. Their performance highlighted not only their subject expertise in business management but also their ability to collaborate effectively, manage time, and present complex ideas with clarity.

This achievement highlights BRIMS’ emphasis on holistic, industry-linked learning. Director of the institute, Dr. Nitin Joshi, and Director General, Dr. Guruprasad Murthy have consistently promoted an academic culture that integrates theory with practice, enabling students to excel in competitive and corporate-like environments. BRIMS, which offers an NBA Accredited MMS program and has been recognized by NAAC with ‘A’ grade, constantly focuses on transforming students to realize their full potential.

This recognition at Innothon 5.0 follows BRIMS’ legacy of success in this competition over the years, including winning the ACC Dandekar Memorial Trophy in 2019, followed by achieving a 2nd Runner-up position in 2023. This podium finish once again underscores the institute’s commitment to preparing students for the challenges of tomorrow’s business world.
