About Aaruush

Aaruush has been a platform for talented individuals to showcase and innovate their ideas in various fields including Architecture, Medical Sciences, Entrepreneurship, Robotics, and more, for 14 editions. With a footfall of more than 72,000 people and a nationwide presence, it has fortified its name as one of the foremost techno-management fests in India. In the previous edition, with the restraints of the pandemic, Team Aaruush had to shift the fest online. However, we students are nothing if not adaptable, especially when it comes to facing challenges. We ventured into the unknown territory and transformed an entire fest into digital events. It brought a fresh perspective as the previously used conventions had to be discarded and new ideas, programmes, and ways of implementation were introduced for our participants and audiences across different social media platforms.

The team expanded beyond its horizon and successfully presented our audience with the most unique and revolutionary edition of Aaruush. More than 60 events were organized including Luminary addresses featuring highly knowledgeable and esteemed professionals, Unconference which aimed at providing a platform for an exchange of visionary ideas and discussions between embellished individuals from different fields, Workshops that provided insightful knowledge, and Challenges that tested the technical skills of our participants. Despite monumental difficulties, Aaruush’20 excelled itself, in terms of innovation and audience engagement.
