The event was led and executed successfully under
the guidance of Mr. Parth Pandya, a Member of
the Corporate Relations Team, IISM, who helped
the students gain perspective, and experience
and guided them to seamlessly work with different
departments to enrich their skills. A committee
was formed that worked tirelessly for near to 4
months to ensure there were no hurdles during
the event. In December 2021, the committee was
formed and was initiated by the selection of the
President, Mr. Pravesh Mandawara, who was
designated by the college through a selection
process. Following the Presidents selection,
there were 5 Vice-Presidents selected by the same
selection process who coordinated with various

everyone who was a part of JUNOON. Our
Creatives Head, Dhiya Khimasia shared her
experience of the event. She recalled, JUNOON
2K22 has been one of the best events that I have
been a part of. I learned quite a few things
from this event like quick decision-making, and
punctuality and I think the experience I have
gained from this event will definitely help me
in all further aspects of my life. Our
Sponsorship and PR Head, Atharva Loya said, I am
thankful for this opportunity as Ive learned
how to negotiate sponsorship contracts with
companies through the practical exposures that I
got during JUNOON 2K22. JUNOON 2K22 was a
successful event that helped us learn a lot about
how to organize and manage such huge events from
a very young age. The hands-on

experience the students got of planning and
executing a sporting event like JUNOON is
something that was a perfect learning experience
to everything that was taught in the
classroom. Follow Junoon On Social
