                     JUNOON 2K22 at a Glance
The students of the International Institute of Sports Management,  Mumbai 
organized and executed the much-awaited Inter College Sports  Management 
Fest “JUNOON” on 22nd March. This event was held at College  Premises (19th 
and 20th) and Poisar Gymkhana (21st and 22nd).
JUNOON is an initiative launched by IISM, Mumbai where students plan various  
sports and business competitions which encourages learning from peers, teamwork, 
 agility, and critical thinking.
The event was led and executed successfully under the guidance of Mr. Parth  
Pandya, a Member of the Corporate Relations Team, IISM, who helped the students 
 gain perspective, and experience and guided them to seamlessly work with 
different  departments to enrich their skills.
A committee was formed that worked tirelessly for near to 4 months to ensure there 
 were no hurdles during the event. In December 2021, the committee was formed 
and  was initiated by the selection of the President, Mr. Pravesh Mandawara, who 
was  designated by the college through a selection process. Following the 
President’s  selection, there were 5 Vice-Presidents selected by the same selection 
process who  coordinated with various departments which were divided into two 
parts – The  Administration Departments and Event Departments.
The Administration Department comprised of Computer, Creatives, Digi-tech,  
Finance, Hospitality, Logistics, Marketing, Public Relations, Registrations,  
Securities, Sponsorship, and Technicals. The Event Department comprised Auction, 
 BGMI, Chess, FIFA, Cricket, and Football.
These event heads were the backbone of their respective events as they organized – 
 Cricket, Football, FIFA, Chess, BGMI & IPL Auction. The PR team visited 70  
colleges across Mumbai and attracted 360 participants for these events. FIFA, 
Chess,  BGMI & IPL Auction took place at the campus on 19th & 20th. Football & 
Cricket  were held at Poisar Gymkhana, Kandivali (West).
The Hospitality department served all the participants and took immense care of 
their  basic requirements throughout the event. All thanks to the logistics 
department who  helped set up the essentials and it was properly arranged. The 
Marketing Department  put all their efforts into keeping the social media up to date 
and made certain the  word JUNOON reached out to every college student.
It is no secret that sponsorships are the backbone for the success of any sports 
event,  and our Sponsorship Department efficiently added value by onboarding 
sponsors for  this event. The event was sponsored by BrewHouse Iced tea as our 
Iced Tea  Partner, Prolicious as our Protein Snacks Partner, Sportshosts as 
our Media
Partner, KarateFreaks as our Training Partner, Decathlon Andheri West as  
our Cricket Equipment Partner, Decathlon Malad as our Football Equipment  
Partner, Viral Fission as our Community Partner, and HJ Doshi Hospital as  
our Medical Partner.
The Creatives Department ensured that the event venue was eye-catching and  
attractive. They coordinated with the Marketing Department to make creative posts
for social media accounts.
The Securities Department took special care to ensure all the safety measures were  
in place for the event. They made sure that no participant was allowed to enter the  
campus without their respective College ID and Vaccination certificate, considering 
 all the Covid-19 protocols.
The Digi-Tech team captured all the precious moments of the event. They captured  
all the exciting behind-the-scenes footage, where other departments were preparing  
to execute this event. Furthermore, they didn’t miss out on the bloopers.
The Technicals Department was tasked with managing the network performances  
during the events and solving troubleshooting problems. Similarly, the Computer  
Department handled all the sound software and made sure the network worked  
smoothly.
The Registration Department took care of the participant’s registration process and  
efficiently collected the entry fee. They maintained a precise record of all the  
participants who registered for the event. The Finance Department ensured we got  
the adequate and timely provision of funds for the smooth functioning of the  
operations. They had a budget that we had to adhere to for every operation.
19th March marked the beginning of JUNOON 2K22 as there were three events-  
FIFA, Chess, and IPL Auction which were held on the campus. For the IPL 
Auction,  we had guests from Mumbai Indians Live Mr. Kunal Samant and Ms. 
Sanika  Chhatre who actively took part in the auction. Approximately 300 players 
were sold  in the IPL Auction. Simultaneously, FIFA and the Chess event went live 
on the first  day of the event.
FIFA was an individual event where the participants were given the chance to 
choose  their own teams, but on the other hand, there were 10 teams allocated to 10 
different  colleges for the IPL Auction. The Sportshosts were continuously 
uploading live  updates regarding the events. By the end of the first day, we already 
had a winner  for one of the events’ which were H.R. College in the IPL Auction. 
Just like the most  successful team in IPL, the Mumbai Indians were victorious in 
the IPL Auction.
20th March marked the second day of the event and we continued with FIFA and  
Chess.  Also,  we added a new  event that was the  BGMI.  By the  end of day 2  we
successfully completed four events in total and among the four events, three events  
were executed on day 2 itself. We completed FIFA, Chess, and BGMI. We gave  
many rewards in FIFA like a winner, runners-up, most goals, and most clean 
sheets.
For Chess, we reserved Trophies for the 1st & 2nd players and also gave cash 
prizes
from 1st to 8th position rankers. In BGMI the winners were again H.R College.
21st March marked the third day and the beginning of all the outdoor events. We  
started off the day with cricket and football at Poisar Gymkhana. The cricket and  
football tournaments were in a knockout format. We completed round 1 of both the 
 tournaments on day 3 and went on to the next stage of the tournaments.
On 22nd March we had the qualifiers and eliminators of both sports and announced 
 the winners and runners-up. In cricket the winners were VSIT and the runners-up  
were Bulls United. The winners of the football were Gucci FC and the runners-up  
were KC college.
The event concluded with a closing ceremony where the winners and runners-up  
were honored with their awards and goodies by our sponsors. In the closing  
ceremony, the best CL of the college was honored and awarded to H.R. College.
The overall experience of the event was life-enriching for everyone who was a part  
of JUNOON.
Our Creatives Head, Dhiya Khimasia shared her experience of the event. She  
recalled, “JUNOON 2K22 has been one of the best events that I have been a part of. 
 I learned quite a few things from this event like quick decision-making, and  
punctuality and I think the experience I have gained from this event will definitely  
help me in all further aspects of my life.”
Our Sponsorship and PR Head, Atharva Loya said, “I am thankful for this  
opportunity as I’ve learned how to negotiate sponsorship contracts with companies  
through the practical exposures that I got during JUNOON 2K22.”
JUNOON 2K22 was a successful event that helped us learn a lot about how to  
organize and manage such huge events from a very young age. The hands-on
experience the students got of planning and executing a sporting event like 
JUNOON  is something that was a perfect learning experience to everything that 
was taught in  the classroom.
