Corporate Interface Team
The Corporate Interface Team plays an integral role in the life of a student at SIBM. Being a student-driven institute, the responsibility of providing additional knowledge that would act as a vital supplement to academics falls on the Students’ Council, and is carried out by one of its most important teams, the Corporate Interface Team, popularly referred to as CIT in college.
As the name suggests, the job of the team is to act as an interface between the students and the corporate world and enhance the knowledge base of the students by establishing educative and beneficial interaction between the two sides. Some of our past endeavors towards fulfilling our goals include Guest Lectures, Workshops, Live Projects, Research Projects and Research Papers. As a team, we believe that excellence can only be achieved through evolution and innovation. Hence we constantly try to evolve by taking new initiatives and finding new ways to add value to the life of a student at SIBM.

Research Project
These are part time projects that enable students to work on company assignments from the campus itself. Through these projects, students provide valuable insights and inputs across categories and sectors to the corporate, which enables them to understand their market better, anticipate changes, respond to market forces, identify and exploit opportunities, and devise solutions to solve business problems.

Research Papers
This initiative enables us to bring out the research and analysis potential of the students. Working under the guidance of corporates, students come out with good quality research papers on a wide spectrum of topics, which are ranked by a panel of experts. A compilation of selected papers is then published in our annual research journal ‘Insights Inside’.
