"BARCODES" The Retail Club

On 3rd March 11, 2008 IBA witnessed the addition of a new family with the launch of the retail club "BARCODES". This auspicious occasion started with the lighting of the lamp by our honorable Chief Guest Mr. V.Nagendra, Senior Marketing professional, Family Mart, Mr. Arvind Dholakia, Assistant Dean IBA and Mr. Prasanna Venkatesh, Mentor, Barcodes.

When you think of "Retail", what comes first to mind is the shopping complexes and Kirana stores. Among such a diverse range of Retail Formats, Product Range and Style of Service, we found a singularly unique image which can be found everywhere. This masterpiece was "BARCODE". It is ubiquitous in nature in retail. It is present on every item sold in any retail outlet. We selected it as our logo due to its high affiliation to our field of study and it also was aligned to our club's philosophy.

Barcodes are sets of lines of different sizes which give all the details about the product to POS system reader. They look alike on face but store variety of information. Our logo "Barcode" has 39 lines of different sizes. These lines signify the First Batch of students for PGPRM. This Logo signifies the Purpose of the club which is "to bring all the people with a common aim to be a retailer together". The philosophy behind the club was appreciated by our chief guest and he gave us some knowledge about the retail scenario prevalent in India. "Truly, I had visited many business schools but the enterprising nature of IBA students was positively categorically different - right from the finer details like the cute Appy juice box! As they say, Retail is in detail and you guys have already demonstrated in the launch of the club." says Mr. Nagendra.

Cosmos

The Logo of the club shows a man deep in thought. The posture of the thinking man signifies that he is neither stressing too hard nor is he too relaxed in thought. He is in a state of trance and focused on the point of thought. In short, the logo signifies focus, depth and thirst for knowledge.

The COSMOS (Business Quiz) Club of IBA, Bangalore, encourages the spirit of quizzing and creates a thirst for knowledge. It prepares teams for participation in various competitions and conducts regular events which culminate in the year end championships called Blitzkrieg.

Grey Matters Cosmos (koz?m?s, -mos) n.

The world or universe considered as an orderly system.
Any orderly and complete system. [Syn. Universe, World]

Apart from that there is a new event by the name of "Gehirn Herren" has been started. The event is designed to actually put pressure on the brain and make people think logically, practically and straight manner under various situations, the initial stage was also conducted and people have been selected to play the final rounds.

Future plan of action:-

Conduct the annual "Blitzkrieg" event before the launch of the club for 08-10 batch.
Conduct the first annual "Gehirn Herren" event.

The dates will be released as soon as we get final confirmation from the quizmaster for the event.
