If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples

then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I
have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two
ideas.

~George Bernard Shaw

The history of technical & management education in India is incomplete

without the mention of BITS, Pilani and the history of BITS is incomplete
without the mention of Interface. Apart from being one of the oldest ex-
clusive management fests in the country it is reputed for it’s highly inno-
vative events which have challenged the intellect and wit of several ignit-

including Dr. Manmohan Singh and Late Shri Rajesh Pilot.

This time we intend to create an interface to bridge ideas to explore new

frontiers of managerial expertise and hence the name:
