SIMCatalyst

SIMCatalyst is an initiative by the Corporate Interface Team of Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication that gives every student the opportunity to interact with the industry. It is firmly believed that this interaction is necessary for both ends: the students to understand industry expectations and, the industry to evaluate the professional preparedness of the student community.

The event started up with the gathering of innovative ideas for the Print Media Industry. 

Dr. Bhaskar Das, President Marketing Times of India was one of the judges of the competition.The winning idea was, "colourless newspapers." The insight came from the fact that people like to scribble and it would be great if they came up with a colourless newspaper on special occasions like Children’s Day wherein the children can colour the paper as they want. As one of the winning team members said, “The major message was to inculcate reading habits in children.” The runners up gave the idea of making a paper bag with the first and the last sheet which carried the brand name on it. There were many other unique and original ideas by the other participants as well.
