This is achieved through a mixture of competitive events, talks, interaction sessions, conferences and of course, the MAXI Fair. Since then the fair gives students a hands on opportunity to learn market research fundamentals and come up with marketing insights on live problems handed over by partner brands and corporates.”
The event is supported every year by major Corporates like HUL, ITC, Star TV and Airtel to conduct research on more than six thousand plus attendees of the fair.
