Learning Culture the Fun Way! | Outbound Learning for Rural Management Students

What if learning about the workplace didn’t happen inside a classroom—but through games, challenges, nature, laughter, teamwork, and shared experiences?

KIIT Kareer School organised a full-day Outbound Training (OBT) Programme for Rural Management students at a scenic agri-resort, designed to build corporate readiness through experiential learning.

Students participated in engaging activities like Blind Treasure Hunt, Pass Me On Thought, and Balloon Pass, developing key workplace skills such as trust, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, focus, mindfulness, and collaboration.

With expert guidance from Madam Smita Kanungo, each activity was connected to real-world workplace behaviours and organizational culture.

Beyond learning, the day was filled with nature, laughter, good food, and stronger peer connections—proving that sometimes, the best learning happens when we step outside the classroom, experience, participate, and grow together.

Augmenting the Agribuzzers!

An exciting outbound initiative for our MBA-ABM Final Year students, designed to blend fun, fundamentals and placement readiness—true to the Kareer School approach.

Students transformed into 10 “companies”, taking on roles, recruiting teams, building networks and, after lunch, negotiating collaboration deals with compatible teams. The deals were then evaluated by KSRM experts in the presence of the respective “CEOs & CFOs”.

The day culminated in celebration, appreciation and recognition of the winning teams.

Skills sharpened: Networking • Communication • Negotiation • Planning • Drafting • Industry Awareness • Troubleshooting

The biggest takeaway? Teamwork + Soft Skills = Placement Readiness!

HR Konclave 2026 | Cultivating Talent. Harvesting Impact.

The panel discussion at HR Konclave 2026 at KIIT School of Rural Management brought together six distinguished HR leaders for a thought-provoking conversation on people strategies for a sustainable future in the agribusiness and development sector.

The discussion was structured around three key rounds:

Cultivating Talent -
Understanding the talent, skills and capabilities that the sector needs to remain competitive and relevant.

Enhancing Impact -
Exploring how organisations can make talent more productive, empowered and effective in creating lasting and scalable impact.

Technology, Digitalisation & AI -
Examining how technology is reshaping the sector and how young professionals can prepare themselves for an evolving world of work.

A particularly striking observation from the discussion was: “More than AI, a human who can utilise AI will take your job.” It captured an important reality of today's workplace—being dynamic, adaptable and continuously learning is essential.

The panel further emphasised the importance of integrating consumer knowledge, market knowledge and functional domain knowledge. Such a combination enables talent to contribute meaningfully to value creation, value delivery and value capture, while improving productivity.

The panel brought together:

- Mr. Asis Patnaik — Senior Vice President & Head HR – Grocery, Reliance Retail

- Ms. Tressa George — Vice President, People & Culture, Rang De

- Dr. Amit Raual — Group Chief People Officer, Listenlights

- Ms. Namita Pandey — Chief Human Resources Officer, SRIJAN

- Dr. Ranganath I V S — Chief Human Resources Officer, Tropolite Foods

- Mr. Raman Chidambarasubramanian — Senior Vice President and Head HR, IKF Finance

The discussion reinforced a central message of the conclave: the future belongs to talent that combines domain understanding with adaptability, technology and a strong capacity to create meaningful impact.
