Gratitude & Growth at NAVANKUR 2025 - AgriFest at Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Nagpur.
The last two days at SIBM Nagpur were truly unforgettable. NAVANKUR 2025, organized by Agritech & Innovation Committee (ATIC), was not just an event - it was a space for ideas, innovation, strategy and execution.
The fest opened with a powerful panel discussion on "Agriculture is Our Core and FMCG is the Prize", where industry leaders like Vedansh Dubey , Abhishake Jetly, Uday Singh, Vikash Mehta, Ahmad Kaba, and Prashanth G., shared deep insights on bridging agriculture with FMCG, supply chain efficiency, value addition and sustainable agri-business models.
A special appreciation to our Director sir Dr. Shailesh Rastogi for guiding the session with meaningful questions and driving the discussion towards actionable outcomes.
Competition Highlights-
1) AgriSimulation – Running a Business in Real Time
From procurement → machinery → product development → packaging → marketing → and finally logo-tagline creation, every round tested our decision-making under pressure.
Proud to share that our team secured 1st Position - a win built on strategy, coordination and on-spot thinking.
2) AgriPreneurship Challenge - BioChrome Bags
We pitched "BioChrome" - biodegradable, smart bags that change colour with sunlight, dust, or moisture, aiming to replace plastic with a sustainable, visually engaging alternative.
This innovation also earned us 1st place, making the victory even more special.
Back-to-back wins gave us confidence, but more importantly, the experience gave us learning, teamwork spirit, and exposure to innovative thinking in agri-business.
