by Editor on 14/11/09 at 9:40 am

The virtual stock market is an online event which was started last year by The Entrepreneurship Cell exclusively for IIT Bombay students. At that time it was only a stock market simulation, this year a workshop was associated with it to support the event and make it more effective.

The response to the game was overwhelming. There were around 1500 registrations. More then 1000 people participated daily. The no of transactions increased exponentially every day.

Along with the game, to impart some solid knowledge about stocks, and to make the game more meaningful for the players, a workshop was organised. It was conducted by Abhishek Vishnoi who is a market analyst with ET. The agenda for the workshop was basic aspects of stock market, covering the basic terminologies and associated dynamics. This was followed by discussion of real situations in the stock market. The session was terminated with discussion on various opportunities with IITians to pursue a career in Finance.
Around 300 people attended the session at the F C Kohli Auditorium, IIT Bombay. It was a huge hit.
