MastishK- India's 1st Fully Online Management Games Extravaganza, has gone LIVE.. and for all members of Team MastishK, it’s crunch time.. Hardly any one of us has caught a proper nap since the 25th.. Everyone seems to be in hyper mode.. scampering here and there making arrangements, slogging it out managing the dynamically changing scenarios of games.. or simply burning the midnight oil answering queries of contestants.. Discussions, differences, disputes have become a part of our daily routines.. But as they say, the proof of the pudding lies in the eating.. and so far, the pudding tastes really good..
Nikhil, the IT whiz, incharge of managing all the technical nitty-gritties, shuttles from one team meeting to another, clearing technical snags, providing coding consultancy, and keeping the games on track.. Hemant, the creative mastermind, is constantly conjuring newer ideas for the look and feel of the site, fine tuning the gaming console and user interfaces as well as making sure that all schedules are met.. All game teams are busy crunching truckloads of data being fed in by participants across the land.. and getting the future phases of the games ready to go.. As for me, I am busy doing what I do best, and love most.. creating “Arbit Choudhury”-the 1st ever B-school Comic Character.. A new strip goes up daily.. After the ideas are ready.. about 4 man-hours go into the creation of each strip.. from sketching to scanning to coloring.. Hemant has been taking time off his hectic schedule to help me out with the creative and technical assistance..
Now for the junior team.. MastishK had been coceptualised long before the new batch arrived.. but they have been an intergral part of the development of MastishK.. so much so that it is impossible to imagine the launch of MastishK without their wholehearted participation.. more so as the event is completely conceptualised and developed inhouse.. not a single component being outsourced to anyone...
We have been overwhelmed by the success of the event so far.. With more than 10,000 hits and 2000 registrations.. not just from B-schools across Asia, but also from over 40 corporates.. and junta from more than 20 countries.. MastishK has far exceeded all our expectations.. and it’s not over yet.. Come 12th October.. when MastishK 2004 concludes.. all of us can finally take a deep breath and look back on the results of all the sweat and toil of the last 3 months.. and start the next endeavor.. whose implementation will be the responsibility of the next batch.. MastishK 2005.. bigger and better than ever before.....
The games have just begun....
