Sympulse
Sympulse is an annual international college cultural festival at Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies (SCMS) Pune, founded in 2010.
It is an exposure into different categories of talent, for example: Business and Management, Model United Nation Conference, Showcasing artistic ability in cultural extravaganzas, and Sports.
In 2010, SCMS-UG held four separate college fests with different objectives: Ananya, Sprint, SIMUNC and Symulate.
In 2010 the student council decided to merge them and create a single, larger fest called Sympulse.
Over time, Sympulse grew into five distinct wings (Ananya, Symulate, Sprint, Headline Events, and SIMUNC).
It is known to be the living embodiment of a fun element of Sympulse because it plays host to various cultural art forms and ideas.
SIMUNC compels students to act responsibly, think critically, and make wise decisions It is, in essence, a simulation of the UN and its committees, with contemporary, historical, and, frequently, futuristic perspectives.
Students are given an opportunity to converge from all over the world in a dynamic environment to deliberate on global issues, acting as delegates representing the various member states of the UN.
Symulate begins with the ‘academic summit’, where eminent personalities from different sectors like corporate, sports, media and politics come together to enlighten students on a pre-decided topic.
It was symbolic of developments in ideologies of people and how that brought about transitions in the lives of individuals which then contributed to the revolution of society over the past few decades.
Some of the major attractions of the festival this year were the Pit Stop bikes and cars, the Battle of the Bands, the Fashion Show, and the Musical Nite concert by Pentagram.
The highlight of the fest was the Musical Nite with Michael Woods and the ProNite with RDB and Akshay Kumar.
