Impeccable 2015, the annual Commerce event at our School, an initiative of BizCraft, our Commerce Society was held on 21st May 2015. Impeccable aims at widening the knowledge of students in the fields of business and economics. Through the medium of Impeccable, we also aim to foster a competitive spirit in students to achieve excellence.

They were welcomed with a potted plants, nurtured in our School nursery and hampers of handmade soap and candles, made by students under the aegis of the Citizenship Programme.

The programme started with a song themed Impeccable, composed by Chinmaya Iyer and Aueshic Das of class XI-B. The lyricist of the song was Snigdha Verma, class XIIB. The song was appreciated by all and set the right mood for our event.

This round was held in the auditorium and there were two participants from each house. Chandra House was given Tropicana and TRESemme, and they designed the logo Tresicana, which claimed to provide richness to the hair by using organic fruits! Indra Houses product was from the joint ventures of Classmate and Lavie bags, and they designed a logo of colourful paper bags to promote happiness and vitality in the lives of the underprivileged as a part of their earnings would go towards their welfare.
