Gramdarshan

Gramdarshan I &
Gramdarshan II are rural
immersion workshops letting
the students spend 3 full days
with rural customers in their
villages understanding their
consumer behavior. The
prime objective of this
experiential learning activity
is to answer a simple, yet
powerful, question: What it
takes to sell rural customers?
This question needs a
thorough understanding of
their life style, their
aspirations, the spending and
saving patterns, etc.
GRAMDARSHAN thus enables
the students to have a first-
hand preview into rural
customers buying behavior.


ICE

In-house Customer Experience (ICE) - Retail & Analytics
ICE is an Aegis Global Academy's Institute of Customer
Experience Management's initiative to let the participants
engage with the customers in a real-time environment in any
of the designated and approved retail outlets. The objectives
of this initiative are:
(a) To provide a win-win platform for the participants as well
as the retail outlet whereby the participants would strive
to make a real difference to shopping experience of the
customers enabling the retail outlet to engage with the
customer on a long term basis and also to learn the
operational and strategic aspects of managing either a
standalone retail outlet or one of the retail outlets of an
organized retailer
(b) To work in any of the retail outlets as one of the employees
for about 5-7 days
© To let participants understand and experience what it takes
to serve the customers and stand up to the explicit and
implicit customer demands
(d) To have a deeper and more meaningful understanding of
the 7As Approach to Customer Experience Management at
the retail outlet
(e) To explore and constantly seeking ways to making a true In-house Customer Experience (ICE) - ITeS

CUEMART

Cue Mart is a retail venture initiated by
Aegis Global Academy's and The
World's First Institute of Customer
Experience Management's retailing
specialization students. Based on an
unique model of 'Zero Inventory Model'
this venture primarily helps to cater to
the daily needs of all the inmates of
ESSAR House in Coimbatore. It helps to
expand the horizons of retailing

QMINE
Welcome to the happy world of Analytics, QminE. QminE is an initiative of Aegis Global
Academy's Class of 2012's Analytics specialization students'. The next three decades
shall be the age of analytics, as many corporate pundits prophesize and what better
way to embrace this impending change than to delve into it to make a difference.
QminE is a platform to make Analytics simple for everyone who wants to either know
or use. It's not an ivory-tower science after all. It's fun. Playing with data and flying
with analysis. The philosophy of QminE is to, “enable effective decision making
through discernible data sets and data points”
If running any business is all about making decisions, how to make better decisions.
One often-cited way is through data-driven decisions. Data by itself, as everyone would
agree, has no impact on business decisions unless accompanied by insightful analysis.
How do we get insightful analysis? Through analytics. Analytics can therefore be an
important tool for making better decisions.
The objectives of QminE are:
(a) To enunciate Analytics specialization students into the world of Business
Analytics
(b) To provide a platform to Analytics Specialization students' to explore, engage and
execute analytics projects on a turnkey basis
(c) To provide customized analytics solutions to cottage, small and medium scale
enterprises
(d) To bridge the gap between theory and practice through various collaborative
initiatives


MILAN

One of the most often-cited drawbacks of a management graduate is that he is not responsible. When we
tossed this question around, we came up with an interesting initiative, MILAN (Mentorship Interactive
Learning And Nourishment) enabling two of our students to mentor one colleague from the off-campus
(executive hostel) with a mandate to polish their etiquette and service delivery. If you are judged by the way


CLAP Communicate Like A Professional (CLAP) is a rigorous program that enables the students to get
trained in business communication, spoken English, public speaking, etc. Offered across all the three
terms, this course is driven largely by practicals. This is a platform to chisel up students
communication skills for them to be effective communicators.
