MADCOM activities
·Designing
The current MADCOM design team consists of 6 members who are responsible for designing all the IIMK related merchandise. The design team’s work can be broken in 2 broad categories:
-
Mechandise Designing: This includes desinging apparels, drinkware, key chains, bags, folders, etc. We do designs not only for general IIMK merchandise but also for various other committees and interest groups of IIMK.
-
Non-Merchandise Designing: The non-merchandise related design includes designing posters, backdrops, brochures, etc for various committees. Our team also does some animation and video editing work as per the requirement of the committees.
·Merchandising
The merchandise team currently is an 8 member team. The main aim of this team is to provide the best quality merchandise at best rates to the IIMK residents. The team handles majorly 2 kinds of work:
- Customised Merchandising: Handling the supply and logistics side of the customized IIMK merchandise is their main job. Fixing the supplier, deciding the material, negotiating the price, handling the logistics for supply and distribution are some of the activities which this team handles. This work is in co-ordination with the design team.
- General Merchandising: This side of the work relates to general merchandise deals. They include beanbags, calculators, laptops, computer accessories, etc. The sheer volume of these deals, in monetary terms, is larger than any other merchandise deal taking place in IIMK.
·Other services
MADCOM is responsible for handling the student loans for over 600 IIMK students. The aim of this initiative is to provide cheapest and most reliable loan to all IIMK students. We negotiate with banks, bring them face to face with the students and with majority voting, finalize the deal for IIMK students. This is handled by the MADCOM team along with a few volunteers from the junior batch.
Initiatives of MADCOM
· MADCOM shopThe latest initiative of MADCOM is to build a fully fledged store in IIMK to display and sell any IIMK related merchandise. This is to have a 24x7 yearlong supply of merchandise rather than some special offers piled up in a few days of the year.The shop currently is in development stage and will be fully functional in a couple of months. It will have both a physical as well as an online ordering system. Along with the in campus merchandise, it will also venture into merchandise for IIMK alumni.
· Design workshopsWe at MADCOM want to build a design culture at IIMK where we try to add another dimension to the personality of future leaders. Under this initiative we took photoshop workshop in the past and plan to have workshops of similar nature in the near future.
