Vol. I | No.II Ensuring that you stay ahead
It is a proud moment for all of us. What had started as an experiment or should I say as a trial way to reach out to our members has now reached the anniversary issue in the 10th year of IBSAF and what’s more we have reached here in style, with an overwhelming response, with members not wanting to miss out on a single issue of the magazine. It indeed is an achievement not only for IBSAF but for all of us as it shows how enthusiastic and eager we are to be in touch and to make IBSAF a big success.
2007; ostensibly was just another year filled with all the regular activities, with efforts to keep you informed and with efforts to achieve our goal; keeping you connected and ahead of others. Looking closely, though, 2007 makes all associated with IBSAF very proud. It not only is the year when IBSAF is celebrating a decade of excellence but it has seen a lot of dreams come true.

Starting with the first IBSAF WORLD coming into existence and reaching to where it is today. Events; taking up a different shape with focus on your interests and entertainment with a few serious notes thrown in here and there.
The online world has also been buzzing with new features. The long awaited career portal was launched in the earlier part of the year. The questions-answer forum AKS@IBSAF also took shape. Above all the website as a whole was not only given a new and fresh look but has been made more user-friendly and easy to navigate.
As for the events; all IBSAF chapters saw not only the alumni meets but events like movie shows, cricket matches, raas garba nites and high tea parties being held at regular intervals with a very enthusiastic crowd taking part. You can find glimpses of all this inside.
Later part of the year brought more good news, with IBS being ranked 8th in the Business India Survey 2007. This is the best ever ranking that we have achieved so far and a fat portion of the credit goes to none other than YOU; whose outstanding performance in the corporate world has paved way for the achievement.
We have been bringing to you all the action at IBSAF through this magazine of yours; if you have missed on any of the issues, simply grab this one to keep yourself updated and to make sure you receive the forthcoming ones send your complete mailing address to updates@ibsaf.org
Just keep up the good work and we’ll be bringing you more of all the happenings. Till then
Happy Reading
