As a part of the course curriculum, final Year MBA students went on an industrial visit to Goa. Students had an opportunity to be a part of a presentation at CIBA (Centre for Incubation and Business Acceleration) in addition to the visit to two industries.

At Goa Shipyard, students were appraised of the floating dry-dock, specially used to repair the bottom of the ship. Students had an interactive session with the Safety Officer and got answers to their queries related to measures taken by the organisation to ensure safety of their employees.
At Monginis, students were exposed to the entire production system of cake making, from refining of raw materials, baking of cake, garnishing of cake to how it is stored and dispatched to various outlets across Goa and neighbouring states. It was fascinating to see how the factory was departmentalized based on the routine cakes and special order cakes which required employees who were specialists in cake designing. This visit enhanced the understanding of the theoretical concepts into practicality.
At CIBA; ranked fourth in the whole of India, students were equipped with enhanced understanding of entrepreneurship. They briefed the students on business avenues available and also narrated the examples of entrepreneurs who have reached greater heights and evolved as successful entrepreneurs with the aid of CIBA. Following this, students were taken for a round to Incubation Centre, Food Processing Laboratory, Digital Laboratories etc. Mr. Venu Gopal T R, Manager, Technology Business Incubator, was fascinated on realizing that Sahyadri also has a newly built Incubation Centre and expressed his interest to visit us soon.
The visit to Goa was an enriching experience for the students as they gained knowledge about the production process, HR policies and procedures, marketing strategies, financial aspects, quality of work life, employee morale and satisfaction index.
