BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION FOR MMS and PGDM

FINANCE SPECIALISATION STUDENTS

ORGANISED BY FINANCE FORUM
The Business Plan competition is a unique opportunity to showcase business ideas
and receive feedback from an eminent panel of judges on the viability of the proposed
business. The plan should chart a roadmap to a dominant market position and
subsequent expansion for international operations. The project report should provide
a complete framework for presentation of all information of the unit proposed to be
established either for manufacture of products or rendering services. The report
should contain the estimated capital expenditure incurred by the units of the firm.
Since many units are found faulty & inadequate due to fund requirements so the

Hospitality Sector, Chemicals, Logistic and Automobile Industry or any other sector
of your choice.
