Our Mission
The club aims to provide its members with opportunities to participate in consulting projects that would provide them an insight of the consulting domain. The club will also arrange various networking events to enable students to interact with the consultants in an informal atmosphere and provide them with a better understanding of the industry.
Additionally, the club will help students with acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the consulting recruiting and interview process. To this end, it will arrange workshops and other events hosted by top notch consulting companies.
The club would organize consulting related games, quizzes and case competitions from time to time to facilitate student body participation in consulting related activites.

Ponzi Scheme
One of most brazen scams in finance is the Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi typically involves paying abnormally high returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors.

The sovereign debt-crisis unfolding today is the aftermath of a similar Ponzi.
