The students of Deccan International School participated in Resurgence 2021 – An economics and Commerce Fest organised by Bishop Cotton Boy’s School, Bangalore. Resurgence, which started in 2010, has held the reputation for being the biggest and best Commerce and Economics Fest in Bangalore, but the 11th edition was bigger and better. Students from all across India participated in the virtual event and the competitions were open to contestants from classes 8 to 12 of all boards - ISC, PUC, CBSE, CAIE etc.. The mega fest took place on the 2nd & 3rd of September 2021 and consisted of 12 events. Each of them was unique in its own way.
The DIS Resurgence 2021 Team of 33 members , who contested for 12 events were appreciated by the event heads of Resurgence 2021 for their good behaviour, formal dress code and enthusiastic approach. Our participants , especially the younger ones from 9th grade really made an impact on the judges and they were applauded for their industrious effort to challenge the 11th & 12th graders from other schools in the events like beyond tank and orange revolution.
Out of the 13 teams from Deccan, 3 teams entered the finals and 1 team made up to the semi-finals. DIS secured the second position in the category – ‘Institutional Award’ with a cash price of INR 10,000. It was necessary for a school to participate in all events, in order to contest for the BEST INSTITUTION AWARD and DIS students whole heartedly participated in all the events, secured points at various levels of their respective events and bagged the Runner Up Award too .
The details of the events & participants instrumental in bringing success are as follows :

1. Hotel Management Revolution: Real life situations & crisis that required creative ideas & the arguments favouring the line ‘The customer perception is your reality’.
2. The fourth wall - ovie script writing and movie making showcasing the strategies for making profits in the box office.
3. The Triangle of Trade : Advertise Market & Sell based on the creative idea - Marketing is all about the stories you tell and not just the sales.
4. Beyond Tank - Exhibit your entrepreneurial skills by pitching your business idea to judges.
The fest encouraged critical thinking and inquiry into various aspects of economics, commerce, business, film making and made our students realize the importance of commerce & economics in every aspect of society today.
The students have definitely gained experience out of cut throat competition, heated discussions and deliberations, bidding and takeovers, bargaining, buying, and selling. In my opinion, involving students in these kinds of competition enables kindling the flavour of entrepreneurship, self-evaluation of their own potential & helps them in inculcating a lot of personal values, self-confidence, vision and creativity.
