BETA at IIM Ahmedabad launches Exchequer 2011

BETA, in association with UBS, launched Stage I of Exchequer yesterday where nominated teams from the top 25 Indian B-Schools have been invited to participate. The event will test the teams across the four major verticals of finance. The four sub-events, namely, Arbitrage (Capital
Markets), DealMaker (Investment Banking), Leverage (PE/VC) and White Knight (Retail Banking)
will present problems tempered with real world constraints to the competing teams such that their
knowledge and skills will be tested to the extreme.
Teams will go through a grueling set of problems in all the four event verticals and their submissions will be judged by eminent personalitites from the banking industry as well as academicians. Finally, 8 teams will emerge from the intense competitions as most worthy of making it to the finals.
The event organizers are proud to have UBS, Axis Bank and CIIE as its partners for the event.
