A 38-year-old tradition of creativity, competition, and culture.
One of India’s longest-standing student-run B-school fests bringing together management rigor, cultural expression, and social impact — all driven by students.
Each edition isn’t just an event. It’s a full-scale execution engine powered by belief and ownership.
Atharva is the flagship student-led fest of TAPMI and the oldest committee on campus, with a legacy of over 38 years. What began as Hill Fest in 1986 has grown into one of India’s most respected techno-cultural-management festivals, driven entirely by students.
Each edition of Atharva brings together strategy, creativity, production, partnerships, and purpose. It is not just an event, but a leadership experience where students take full charge, execute under pressure, and grow through real responsibility.
The committee is structured into three core verticals:
Atharva functions throughout the year like a professional brand team. From building sponsor proposals and managing institutional partnerships, to running multi-phase promotional campaigns and solving real-time on-ground challenges, the student team handles it all.
For every member, Atharva becomes a platform to apply the core elements of an MBA such as marketing, budgeting, leadership, operations and more in a live, high-stakes environment.
Atharva also stands as a benchmark among B-school fest committees across India. Alongside Unmaad (IIM Bangalore), Chaos (IIM Ahmedabad), and OJAS (SPJIMR), Atharva represents TAPMI on the national stage. It is not only known for its scale, but also for its consistency, creativity, and social relevance.
As we prepare for the 39th edition, Atharva continues to evolve. What remains unchanged is the belief that when students take ownership, they build something far more powerful than a fest. They build legacy.
