Syntel has announced that it will sponsor two regional competitions in India organized by SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise). The competitions will be held in Chennai and in Mumbai. At each event, SIFE teams from leading colleges across India will compete by presenting the results of their SIFE projects that apply business concepts to outreach projects that will improve quality of life and living standards for people in need.
The projects will be judged by a panel of over 50 business leaders, and the winners will advance to the SIFE India National Competition to be held in Mumbai on July 4, 2012. One team will be named the national champion and will go on to represent India at the SIFE World Cup in Washington, D.C. later this year.
Farhan Pettiwala, President, SIFE India, said, “SIFE is an innovative program that enables students to hone their business skills by conceiving and executing a business plan from the ground up. In addition, our emphasis on community development and sustainability is helping nurture a new generation of socially responsible business leaders.”
