IIMA Leverage
Club Activities
The Club focuses on five primary initiatives: the private equity and venture capital conference, professional development, student events, alumni outreach, and several private equity and venture capital competitions.
Leverage Conference
The annual PE-VC Conference is the flagship event of the club. Leverage 2009 was the first edition of the Venture Capital and Private Equity Conference at IIM-A. The theme of the conference was 'Investing and Managing Portfolios in Distressed Times'. The conference attempted to focus on current issues in this sector and brought down industry experts from companies like TPG, Apollo, Nexus Capital, DFJ, Citi Venture Capital, Kotak Private Equity amongst others. Mr. Kanwal Rekhi, Mr. Damodaran and Mr. Mahesh Murthy were some of the speakers at the conference. The conference saw very keen participation from the corporate world with over 40 companies participating.

After a successful first edition of the conference, the club will work towards making it even bigger and better next year. Our aim is to establish the Conference and its B-Plan Showcase as a brand in industry and start-up circles.
Business Plan Showcase

The business plan showcase is held along with the Conference and attempts to promote entrepreneurs who have already started their businesses or shown a proof of concept, to get funding or mentorship from VCs. It creates a platform for investors, mentors and new businesses to interact and negotiate a partnership.

Leverage Magazine

The Leverage Magazine was successfully launched at the Leverage 2009 Conference. It is a biannual publication with articles expressing the views of top business school students and industry experts and academicians. The publication is also circulated amongst the top business schools, and prominent PE and VC firms.

Professional Development
  • Internship Support Program:
    The club organises information sessions during the placement season for the students. These sessions are designed to help the students get a better understanding of the private equity and venture capital industries. The sessions will involve introduction to the PE/VC industry, discussions on various topics such as deal structuring, sector analyses, LBOs etc, and presentations on specific issues affecting the PE/VC industry.

    The information sessions will also be supplemented with periodic newsletters covering the latest happenings and trends of the industry.
  • Industry Outreach:
    Throughout the year the club organises speaker sessions, guest lectures and interactive workshops with professionals from the private equity and venture capital industry. The sessions are held at regular intervals during the academic year and are centred on giving the students a comprehensive picture of the various aspects of the PE and VC industry.
Student Events

During the course of the school-year, Club hosts numerous student events and competitions which are based on themes such as portfolio management, identification and due diligence of acquisition targets, and deal structuring.
