Footvibes, the dance club of IIM K, was started
by PGP 12 dance enthusiasts with a belief that
the passion and commitment towards dance will
help every dancer attain newer heights. The
objective of Footvibes is to provide a common
platform for all the dance enthusiasts to come

much appreciated dance performance in ROOBAROO. Roobaroo dance competitions forms a great
opportunity for the dance enthusiasts in the new
batch to showcase their talent.

Theatrix once again entertained our Kampus

play made us push the bar set by PGP 16 higher.
We started the year with Murder.
PGP 18 made a kick start of their theatrix chapter by putting up Playing Along - a dark comedy
for Backwaters. Falling in line with our tradition
of junior batch shouldering the responsibility of
being flag bearers in competition, Echoes saw
not one but two plays. Chikitsa ka chakkar - an
adaptation of a short story by Bedhab Banarasi went on to win the second spot for IIMK. It
presented our viewers a light hearted take on
medical malpractice. 10000 Cigarettes on the
other hand presented a dark humorous take on
smoking in a unique narration style.
2015 also, witnessed not 1 or 2 but 3 plays within

One of the most happening clubs of IIM Kozhikode is Tripod. This club plays an active role in
every activity on campus, ranging from profile
shoot of a batch to covering almost all the events
around the year.
Last year, it celebrated yet another year of passion for photography by organising an exhibition
Through the lens which was a huge success.
The photographs on display were clicked by the
students of IIM Kozhikode and the themes ranged
from nature, wildlife, still life, people landscapes
to abstract. Some of the photographs were purchased by the onlookers and the proceeds from
the event were used to buy stationary items
which were donated to school going kids. Also,
selected photographs from the exhibition were
framed and put up around the campus so as to
encourage the passion for photography and student run initiatives.

The year 2014-2015 was an astounding year for
E-Cell, IIM Kozhikode. Riding on the waves of

and Innovation Cell took several key initiatives
towards meeting its objective of creating a nurturing forum for start-ups in the campus and putting IIM Kozhikode in one of the coveted place in
countrys entrepreneurial eco-system. With the
highest number of entrepreneurs in any PGDM
batch (during 2015-16), IIM Kozhikode was noted
highly in the leading newspaper of the country.
Among the initiatives taken last year, notably has
been:
1. A series of workshops and guest lectures for
guiding and imparting skills for starting a new
venture for IIM Kozhikode students. A workshop
of Ideation and problem identification, with collaboration with Thoughtworks was organised.
This shall be taken forward this year by organising workshops in Legal aspects of start-ups,
