A Round-up of the Kreaverse

In the vibrant tapestry of Kreaverse, we find a harmonious blend of academic pursuits, extracurricular engagements, and joyous celebrations. It's a space where the Krea family seamlessly weaves together camaraderie and festive spirits, creating a unique and enriching experience.
Recently, we witnessed the Makara Sankranti celebration, a delightful affair marked by a hearty meal, vibrant rangoli, and cultural activities that brought the community together in joyous revelry.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, crucial behind-the-scenes efforts are propelling the ongoing IFMR Graduate School of Business (GSB) and the School of Interwoven Arts and Sciences (SIAS) placements into full swing. Additionally, exciting collaborations and partnerships with other universities are flourishing, adding another layer to the diverse opportunities for growth and learning available at Krea.
