Welcome to the first edition of IGNITE! We at E-Cell are immensely excited about the first edition of IGNITE and the last fortnight has seen members discussing article ideas and design suggestions with much ado in deserted common rooms and corridors.

The launch of the magazine has been planned to coincide with Jokanomics and E-week, which mark the last events for the current E-Cell team of batches 45/15 and 46/16.

A team of Stanford students was told: create value using rubber bands. Yes, rubber bands.

So, they had a brilliant idea. They thought: “Let’s create a Wishing Tree, a tree from which students can hang their wish-notes using rubber bands. We’ll catalyze love and peace. People will group together under the tree, linking arms, and singing in three part harmony.” (Ok, maybe their vision didn’t extend quite that far.)

It didn’t work.

Some Pitches, a few discussions and a lot of networking. That in short is a brief description of the i2i finals that happens in Kolkata. Given below are a few pictures which present a glimpse of the activities described above !
