Navratri 2025: A celebration of colour, culture, and community

The SPJIMR campus came alive with colour, music, and joy as the institute celebrated Navratri 2025, bringing together teams from across the campus. Creativity shone through as participants embraced innovative AI tools in their contest submissions, including ‘Best Photo by Team’ and ‘Dance Garba Reel Recreation’. The entries demonstrated how tradition and technology beautifully intertwine.

The festivities featured a vibrant Garba and Dandiya evening, complete with a prize distribution ceremony. Community engagement was at the heart of the celebrations, with competitions across multiple categories. Individuals were recognised with awards for ‘Best Dancer’ (Male and Female) and ‘Best Dressed’ (Male and Female). Employees donned traditional attire that reflected the rich diversity of cultures and traditions represented at the institute.
