GURUGRAM: Getting through the nine-to-five corporate treadmill can be tough, and one can’t help but recall (fondly) those simple college days when we didn’t have to think of responsibilities, deadlines and endless meetings — college days redolent of chai, friendships and campus fests.
For those craving to relive those happy times on the campus, the Times
Corpfest 28°North is back to take you on a nostalgia trip. Now into its third edition, this two-day college festival, organised especially for corporate organisations based in Delhi-NCR, promises a raft of activities and truckloads of fun, from sizzling live-music performances to brainstorming debates.
Why Times Corpfest 28°North? Well, Delhi-NCR boasts of the highest concentration of corporates in India but lacks a corporate community culture, and, also, a space where the best talents of India Inc. can come together to engage, network and enjoy. Times Corpfest seeks to make all this possible, in addition to presenting a platform for corporate professionals to show off their gifts and wits (to their colleagues and the jury!), and, in the process, win some cool prizes.
Times Corpfest promises to get those competitive juices flowing — and to take the office camaraderie to another level. So, on offer here is a quiz on India’s most beloved ‘timepasses’ (cinema and cricket!), and a chance to get involved in a debate that is of relevance to our times — ‘Accommodating a Spectrum: Baby Boomers to GenZ’. Meanwhile, those itching to showcase their skills, the podium will be open — for singing, mimicry, storytelling, photography and slam poetry (among others). That secret passion you’ve been hiding from your colleagues? Now’s the time to step up and bring out the performer in you! And, in the pro chat with young entrepreneurs (a segment with industry experts), Grofers CEO Albinder Dhindsa takes you through his inspiring journey of co-founding the country’s largest e-grocer company (with annual sales of $700 million!). The fest will wind down with a most sought-after finale — that of the competition to crown Ms and Mr Corpfest. Now, who wouldn’t want to participate in that!
We advise you to take the day off because it’s not every day you’ll get the chance to witness your CEO hobnobbing like your college buddy!
Times Corpfest 28°North is being organised in association with CONDUENT, and will take place on September 5 and 6, at DLF Cyberhub,
Gurugram. For more details visit,
