The Story
Karan joined Mercurius, the commerce department's marketing club at Christ University, as a finance associate in his first year. By his second year he was heading the finance and sponsorship wing, and in his final year his seniors promoted him to President of the club.
As President, he led a team of over 200 students and took responsibility for the club's events, ideation, finance, and logistics across all four Christ University campuses. His mandate included organising high-profile panel discussions, fireside chats, and marketing events that would bring genuine industry credibility to the student community.
For the marquee marketing event, Karan identified the specific speakers he wanted based on what they had actually accomplished. He pitched Ashish Mishra, then CMO of Aagoa Insurance, who had built a campaign around the cast of Munna Bhai MBBS, securing Sanjay Dutt for the ad shoot. Karan reached out directly, made the case for why the event was worth their time, and secured their participation. The speakers were excited by the format and the audience.
The club's work under his leadership was recognised at year-end: Mercurius won the Best Business Club of the Year award.
