All that you need to know about Econaissance'23
EcoBiz, The Sustainability and Business Club of IIM Shillong, aims to make businesses truly sustainable and strengthen the link between social prosperity and economic profit through the events they undertake. The flagship event of the club, ‘Econaissance,’ is a term formed out of two terms ‘Eco’ and ‘Renaissance’. An amalgamation of the meaning and spelling of these two terms gave birth to the term ‘Econaissance’.
