VENIX 2025 — Vision • Venture • Victory

IIM Bangalore’s Flagship Festival of Business & Entrepreneurship

Ushering in a New Era of Innovation at IIM Bangalore

IIM Bangalore proudly unveils VENIX—a transformative festival forged from the union of our two celebrated flagships, Vista and Eximius. Named for visionary creativity and inventive brilliance, VENIX elevates the legacy of both predecessors while charting an even bolder, broader, and more impactful celebration of business acumen and entrepreneurial drive.

A Legacy Reimagined

• Vista: India’s foremost international business summit—home to marquee speaker series, immersive workshops, and case challenges that have drawn tens of thousands of participants from 110+ institutions worldwide.

• Eximius: The campus’s definitive entrepreneurship conclave—where hundreds of start-ups, founders, and venture partners converge to exchange ideas, test business models, and ignite market-shaping innovation.

VENIX inherits the strengths of each: Vista’s panoramic business insight and Eximius’s start-up energy—now fused into one comprehensive festival.
