Corporate Relations Committee

Corporate Relations Committee (CRC) acts an interface between the SIMSREE academia and the corporate world. By facilitating the interaction between the students and industry leaders, CRC helps in broadening the horizon of students while simultaneously keeping them abreast of the challenges and opportunities in the corporate world.

CRC conducts multiple corporate events, conclaves and corporate connect sessions through which the students of SIMSREE get a chance to interact with eminent personalities of the corporate world.

CRC has also helped the students at SIMSREE engage with the think tanks of the government by inviting senior bureaucrats and personalities from the public service on campus.

The annual flagship event of CRC is SIM’ergence, organized in association with Bombay Stock Exchange, where eminent personalities from different areas of the industry share their views and insights on recent trends and challenges in the corporate world.

Another annual event conducted by CRC is the HR Conclave where eminent HR leaders and corporates from around the country are invited for a panel discussion on relevant issues faced by the industry. This conclave provides the students with an excellent platform for gathering insightful learnings and engaging with leaders who define the trends in the field of Human Resource.

Along with the conclave, CRC also invites industry leaders for guest lectures at SIMSREE campus to share their experiences, success stories, journeys and achievements with the students which helps prepare them for the challenges of corporate life ahead.

In addition to the corporate interactions, CRC also organises ‘Mindz’, a simulation based competition in association with JLT. The competition helps students understand the insurance sector well and gives an exposure into the different roles of the insurance sector.

The Corporate Relations Committee builds associations between the institute and different industry and non-industry associations. One such association was with Jagriti Yatra.

Through all such interactions, CRC ensures a continuous engagement between the corporate world and the institute.
