Purpose
Armageddon, the Adventure club of IIM Calcutta was the brainchild of Late Malli Mastan
Babu, who held the record of climbing the highest summit in each continent in 2006.
Armageddon emphasizes on inculcating the spirit of adventure in the campus: the will to go
beyond one's limits, to discover what one considered unattainable!
Events organized by Armageddon are designed to make their participants test their physical
limits, mental endurance and develop a team spirit. Armageddon’s events not only provide a
much needed relief to participants from the academic rigour, but also add a tinge of
adventure in their lives.
The war cry: Never Give Up, Never give in
