Five post-graduate programme (PGP) students of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) have set up a Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) club to help students get hands-on experience by involving PE/VC players from India and abroad. Unlike finance clubs run by most B-schools in the country, this club exclusively focuses on PE and VC funding.

The lack of opportunities and experience in the PE and VC space led five students to set up the club called ‘Leverage’. With around 50 students interested in being members, the club will be a forum for students interested in all aspects of private equity and venture capital.

“We came up with an initial skeletal structure of the PE club by looking at institutes like Harvard and others from the Ivy League. But the end product has been entirely our idea of how a PE club should be. Although we prefer to call it an interest group for the time being, we plan to run a full-fledged club with more activities soon,” says Anirudh Singh, a member of the club.

“PE as an industry has boomed in India and we plan to invite speakers to the campus, hold conclaves, workshops and other events to provide a platform for the students and corporates to interact. Also, we are looking forward to hold intra-institute events, where the students can write an investment proposal and a panel of faculty members can judge them.

We have no restrictions when it comes to corporates as we would be involving both top- and middle-level players to encourage more and more activities in the field of PE and VC,” says Gagandeep Singh, another member of the club.

As part of formalising the club, the students are holding the first intra-institute event called the ‘Zen of Investing’, where the club plans to invite alumni working in the area of private equity, besides involving the faculty and students for the activity.

The club also has plans to tie-up with Post-Graduate Programme in Management for Executives (PGPX) students to getter a better perspective of private equity. “The PGPX students would be able to share their experiences about private equity and with their support, we plan to involve ourselves with the corporates in a deeper way through various activities, including projects and case workshops,” adds Anirudh Singh.

The club is in talks with a few corporates, who have shown interest in sponsoring the club.

“We are considering more options for funding besides the institute and the corporates we are in talks with. Currently, we are in the stage of gauging the responses from the people about the club,” says Anirudh Singh, before adding, “Although we have started out PE and VC, we may consider branching out to other areas like micro finance later.”

Faculty members of the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta are occupied, legal advice five days before the Supreme Court against the European Union human resource development ministry, said Ashis Bhattacharyya, IIMC’s din of the planning and management.

The Tribunal is currently head PIL consultation has been suggested that the HRD with the Ministry’s decision to bar tuition annual R-IIMS lakh from 1.5 to 30 RS 000 The Faculty IIMC appears in SC On 16 April.

The Faculty IIMC was against the tax bar because she thought it would have on the autonomy of the university.

IIMC faculty members and institutions in Bangalore and Ahmedabad felt the Boards of Governors decides on tuition fees of these institutions, which are not MHRD.

The PIL in SC was filed by some ex-students and academics from the Faculty of IIMA the Faculty IIMC decided to party. In search of the rights of the expertise of the Faculty IIMC are not subject to lawyers only in the city. “We started talking about some jurists high level in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, man, regularly take up cases of the SC,” a senior Faculty said.

“The SC, after consulting the PIL, on 8 April has sought the opinion of the IIMS. But IIMS Lucknow, Indore and Kozhikode Calcutta at the offices of governors, a resolution supporting the tax cut, despite l ‘opposition of the Faculty. And it review committees have been searched, “said the panel members.

Faculty members of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, have decided to wait until the Supreme Court order, it is accessible from Monday, before a decision on their future.

Given that the next consultation, if ever, in July-end, many faculty members are of the opinion that the situation could change in their favour as Murli Manohar Joshi can no longer, as before the MHRD minister after the elections.

The SC has governed IIMS MHRD and the opening of a dialogue on the issue of fees helm. If it is not sorted it, the SC to hear the case again in mid-July.

“We commend the Tribunal. We hope that reason MHRD’ll see what we tried to explain our position and application, we in the head of jurisdiction, “said Ashish Bhattacharya, IIM-C Dean of the planning and management.

The Faculty will be held on April 22 to discuss as much tax should be charged from new students, letters of admission until May the second week.

This is a new variant of the still ongoing tussle between the Union Ministry of Human Resources Development and the Faculty of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta.

The MHRD, a cheque crore RS 4 IIM-C on Thursday evening, with a goodwill letter, this is not the kindness of the Faculty members.

While the letter states that the money is sent to the Institute with the express purpose that good, that the deficit is due to annual tuition of 1.25 lakh bar RS RS 30000, members of the Faculty said that the ministry was only trying “an act of submission” to the Supreme Court.

While no provision has been to date have IIM, Ahmedabad and IIM, Bangalore, it is assumed that money was sent to IIM-C, because its Board of Governors of the tax by a bar resolution, while the Faculty decides against him.

The PIL was filed at the head of court against the MHRD for the tax bar. IIMS of Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta (Faculty, in the latter case), the PIL.

The Faculty The argument was that once the tax reduced, it is annual deficit of nearly 6.5 crore MHRD But the case has ensured that good, the deficit in tranches of the fee, and it is in the sense that the check was sent.

Faculty A meeting was convened last Friday to discuss the removal MHRD and the consequences that result from the fact that the Faculty last. The Council said MHRD not a single penny time in 2003-04, when he apparently was preparing to send at least RS 6 crore.

Hence, the sudden release of funds is “intangible and a powder in the eyes.”

“The MHRD all crazy trying to maintain, in the cheque. It is well below what the IIM C would be necessary if the tax bar is implemented. The Institute is already taken by a lack of means. We have tried our cost of the body that we have put in place since 1991, a high-level Faculty said.

“Let the MHRD first version during the last year, the fund and its share for this year, through these RS 4 crore, before any claim,” said the panel members.

Calcutta: It’s management practices rather than a me-combat. Faculty members of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, want the status quo on tuition fees will be maintained at least for the next academic year.

Faculty members say that the Institute of authorization to issue letters of a fresh cargo of students from next week, in which tuition fees must be clearly indicated.

The decision of the IIM-C’s Faculty meeting on Monday, is a clear defiance framed by resolution YC Deveshwar, president of the IIM-C’s Board of Governors.

The President of the European Union has HRD ministry bar annual fee of 1.25 lakh RS RS 30000

“Given that tuition fees should be clear to new students, the Council may decide that the fees issue and negotiate director Shekhar Chowdhury. We also proposed that the segregated funds, where money may be filed. If the fee is to bar the Apex court, we students money back with interest “, Ashish Bhattacharya, IIM-C-dean of planning and management said.

The director is expected to inform the Board of Governors of the Council decision. The Council also approved the decision of the ability to move high court on Tuesday.

A new teams up with a Alumnus and two members the ability to ensure that the HRD ministry has initiated a dialogue with members of the Faculty in the bar fees discussion. “The Supreme Court, the ministry believes that discussions with the IIMS to solve the problem of honoraria. In case of IIM-C, the Board of Directors and members have the option of opposing view and, therefore, we ask that the Ministry held separate discussions, “Bhattacharya added.

The Council said that the RS 4 crore kitty sent by the Observatory at low tide on any deficit are not currently used. “We believe it is in a separate account and can not handle now. We will wait until the Supreme Court to take a decision on the question that we decide how it is used,” said Bhattacharya.
