Backwaters

Backwaters is the National level - Annual management festival of

IIM Kozhikode. Similar to how the Backwaters of Kerala where
historically the conduits of trade and business, the event helps
students channelize their intellect and business acumen and
compete with B-schoolers from all over India and abroad in a
series of well-designed and industry relevant events. There are
events across the six verticals (Finance, Marketing, Strategy,
Operations, Information Technology and Human Resources) as well
as spot events where the participants have to think on their feet
to come up with innovative solutions to the tasks and challenges
they are exposed to.
The three days of Backwaters also entails a series of workshops,
talks and debates featuring eminent business and social
personalities. Students get exposure to the latest trends and
innovations in management through interaction with the guest
speakers and other experts who are on campus. In essence,

Kozhikode by giving the students avenues to put to practice their
theoretical understanding as well as link their knowledge base
