A B-School education is diverse, comprising not only coursework and case competitions but also significant extracurricular activities like sports. This enables students with holistic growth. The Sports Management Team at SIBM Pune is responsible for giving these opportunities to SIBM Pune and other B-school students in order to foster a spirit of healthy competition, networking, and sportsmanship. This objective is achieved by "Gravitas," which is one of the biggest inter-B-School sports fests in the nation and is held once a year.
Gravitas '22, the Inter B-school Sport Fest, attracted over 35 colleges. 'Phoenix - Reborn' was chosen as the theme, which portrays the rebirth of the virtual Gravitas with an eSports format for yet another edition. Each of the six events, as well as the Gravitas Sports quiz, was carefully selected based on current gaming trends. With the goal of making Gravitas bigger and better, we had over 800 students from NMIMS, IIMs, FMS, XLRI, and other institutions participate in Gravitas'22.
The competition consisted of various popular events like Chess, FIFA 21, CS:GO, BGMI, 8 Ball Pool and Valorant, and was held across a span of 3 days, namely on the 11th, 12th and 13th of February. The three-day fest featured high-intensity competition in a variety of disciplines, with individuals and teams competing while proudly supporting their universities. The end of the event saw IIM Indore emerge as the overall winners of Gravitas'22, followed by SIBM Pune clinching the runners-up spot.
