Where the realms of business, creativity, knowledge, and laughter converge, Paragana is the four-day flagship annual business festival of the NMIMS School of Business Management. The word 'Paragana' (Sanskrit for pollination), means the beginning of a new life. Organized by SBM's Student Council, Paragana aims to pollinate young minds with seeds of knowledge and to stimulate independent, imaginative, and holistic thinking among budding leaders. It encompasses three major events designed to engage and challenge participants: The Perfect Candidate, Business Conclave, and Jokes Apart.


THEME
The New Order: Rewriting the Rulebook of Modern Business
The world is entering a new business order shaped by technological breakthroughs, geopolitical realignments, shifting consumer behavior, climate imperatives, and emerging digital economies. Traditional business models are being challenged as organizations adapt to a landscape where agility, resilience, and innovation are no longer optional they are essential.
Artificial Intelligence is redefining productivity, the creator economy is transforming entrepreneurship and marketing, global supply chains are evolving in response to geopolitical shifts, and sustainability has become a strategic priority rather than a compliance requirement. Together, these forces are rewriting the rules of business. Business Conclave 2026 explores how organizations can reinvent themselves to remain competitive in an era where change is the only constant.
