Students express their thoughts on equity at workplace 

Participating in open mic competitions can be an invaluable experience for management students, as it allows them to showcase their talents and gain valuable performance skills. These events provide a platform for them to express themselves creatively, whether through music, poetry, or other forms of artistic expression.

It also provides students with an opportunity to perform in front of a live audience, which can help build confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, such competitions can help students develop important networking skills, as they have the opportunity to connect with other performers and industry professionals.

Thus, realising the importance of the same, Apeejay School of Management (ASM) recently organised an Open Mic Competition at Studio Twenty One at Pacific D21 Mall in Dwarka. Around 60 students from various colleges had registered for the event.

The theme for the competition was: Equity at Workplace. Participants discussed how equity at the workplace is necessary today to ensure fair treatment, promote diversity and inclusion, and maximise productivity and innovation.

Dr Alka Munjal, Director at Apeejay School of Management declared the competition open. The competition was judged by Dr Etinder Pal Singh, Deputy Director, ASM and Mr. Sushmay Biswas, Marketing Head, Pacific D21.
