TIGER 8 FINALS

Action Strip : Vijay BHerwani and Hemant Jain in action

Seesaw is the best word to describe today’s epic final between Foreplay-ers (Sec A) and Benchwarmers (Sec C) of the Tiger 8 cricket tournament organised by FSD in Sanjay Van. The tournament saw 8 teams participate, two from each section. Benchwarmers had defeated Foreplay-ers in the group stages of the tournament and the finals was the perfect stage for a revenge match. Supporters of both the teams were large in number and wildly enthusiastic, cheering their team through the ups and downs.  

Foreplay-ers led by Amrit Sagar won the toss and elected to bat and in walked Kapil Goel and Hemant  Jain. They provided a solid beginning with Kapil hitting a towering six. Kapil was then caught brilliantly near the boundary by Vijay Bherwani. The next few overs Foreplayers consolidated their innings and left the fireworks for the last two overs.  Deepak Rana and Hemant Jain who went on to score a half century hit some brilliant shots for 4’s and 6’s. In the end Foreplay-ers reached a formidable total of 95. After the break it was the time for Benchwarmers to do the batting, headlined by Vijay Bherwani who was yet to be dismissed in the tournament. Their start was solid, by timely wickets were taken by Foreplayers. Vijay who continued his strong run was finally dismissed by Anurag Dhir. Foreplay-ers seemed to be cruising to the finals. The last 2 overs required 36 runs and Amrit balled brilliantly the penultimate over to leak only 8 runs. 

The last over which was to be of 8 balls required 28 runs .Foreplay-ers were smelling victory now but Sandeep  Singh the captain of Benchwarmers had other plans as he hit few towering sixes. The momentum was shifting but Foreplay-ers hit back with back to back wickets. Extras and tardy fielding cost Foreplay-ers dear in the next couple of balls. It all came down to the last ball, which required 4 runs and Surya Dahiya rose to the occasion by hitting a 6 and winning the tournament for Benchwarmers. The crowd rushed to greet the players. 

Foreplay-ers were gracious in defeat and hugs and handshakes were flowing freely. The crowd cheered wildly as the wiining trophy was awarded to Benchwarmers.

MOTM – Sandeep Singh

MOTS- Vijay Bherwani

The entire tournament was conducted brilliantly by FSD led by Nitin Gandhi and it is now wonder why FSD events see such mass participation and enthusiastic support from Foreians.

A Meet With Ashish Kapur: The YO! Enterpreneur!

If we talk about young Indian entrepreneurs, the subject remains incomplete without mentioning Ashish Kapur, the co-founder of Yo! China! The Indian chain of Chinese cuisine all over the country. To kick off its last exciting event for the academic year 2011-2012, Centre for Entrepreneurship and Development, FORE School of Management invited Ashish Kapur to talk to students about his journey of becoming a successful entrepreneur.

Ashish Kapur is an Electronics & Telecom Engineering graduate from McGill University, Canada. He is a recipient of the Scarlet Key Leadership Award and a graduate of GE Financial Management Program. He Worked with GE Capital across North America in Financial & Quality Management and is a Six Sigma Quality Black Belt. He conceived the concept of Quality Chinese Food at Value Pricing and founded Yo! China. Under his leadership, Yo! China has grown to be the larget restaurant chain over a five year period.

Ashish walked us through his story, almost telling the tale with as much vigour and taste as do the variety of foods in his restaurant. As captivating was his style of delivering his story, it was as gripping to know his eventful journey , the lows and highs of his business and how he got through all the challenges, winning against all the odds.

Among many strategic lessons that we learned from him, the most important was that of perseverance. Ashish Kapur, in his quest to become an entrepreneur in India, with no previous experience or family background in business, went through about 80 rejections before finding the funding from his first angel investors. A man of his intellect , personality and options at hand to switch to a safer better career could have easily took the other road in due course , but it was his perseverance , passion and trust in himself that led him to keep going until he succeeded. FORE School of Management is thankful to Mr. Ashish Kapur for sharing his experience with the students and infusing all the requisite enthusiasm that one needs time and again to believe in one’s idea through his journey of becoming an entrepreneur.
