Reproduced below is an extract from the Editorial of the all new, revamped and re-designed Joka Strategist:

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”- Barack Obama

While the entire world calls out for change, we at Joka Strategist have been quietly going about our work, bringing out real change. Our change starts with our magazine. You can see the beautiful new cover page and the diverse list of contributors to this magazine. We span the globe from China to USA, to take on issues of corporate social responsibility, systemic failures in organizations and the emerging power sector in India among others. We have also begun with Consultoon, a light take on today’s grave issues. Beginning with this issue, we embark on a journey to make Joka Strategist a truly International magazine.

This is my first issue as the Chief-Editor as I take on my responsibilities from my extremely talented predecessor, Pranjali Chanchani, who brought this magazine to where it is today. My challenge and my promise to you, is to keep building on the rich tradition of this magazine, making it an informative and enjoyable read.

The club aims to provide its members with opportunities to participate in consulting projects that provide them an insight of the consulting domain.Presently 6 live projects are happening – for clients including an international consulting practice, a top sports accessory firm and well known shipping firm among others.The club arranges various networking events to enable students to interact with the consultants in an informal atmosphere and provide them with a better understanding of the industry.

Additionally, the club helps students with acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the consulting recruiting and interview process. To this end, it arranges workshops and other events hosted by top notch consulting companies. These crashers before various interviews save the day for many students.

The club organizes consulting related games, quizzes and case competitions from time to time to facilitate student body participation in consulting related activities. The list this year included  Genesis- a case contest, Empires of the Mind- a strategy game, a workshop by Accenture on consulting and many more.

The Joka Strategist is the club’s in house magazine -completely written and edited by club members. The next big leap for club is AUDIRE, a pan-IIM consulting Magazine soon to be released, come February 2009.
