"Aadat", "Lamhey", "Panchi" and a lot more awaits. Don't miss it. Passes are now available. Keep tuned to Quo Vadis 2011 Facebook page for all the latest updates.
Born into the famed Patiala gharana, Shafqat Amanat Ali was immersed into classical music almost as quickly he could frame his first sentences.Little did he know that he would one day become the lead singer of one of Pakistan's leading fusion and Sufi-rock bands: "Fuzon".
Shafqat's singing prominently betrays his lineage and his classical prowess shines through. Songs like "Mora Saiyyan" and "Aankhon ke Saagar" transcended borders effortlessly and charmed audiences across the subcontinent. Indian audiences were quick to accept and appreciate the phenomenal talent that is Shafqat Amanat Ali. Since then, there has been no looking back for the musician. Shafqat currently has an extremely successful career as a solo artist and playback singer in the Indian and Pakistani film industries."Mitwa", "Yeh Honsla" and the current sensation "Dildaara" are but a few of his masterpieces. He has truly proved himself to be a singer who can do justice to any kind of song across different musical genres.
Watch Shafqat Amanat Ali perform LIVE at Quo Vadis 2011: Celebrity Night 2.

The Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) recently organised a business conclave in collaboration with African countries at its Delhi campus. This conclave was an endeavour to explore the opportunities present in Africa and also to make the delegates and students aware about the challenges and social and cultural aspects of doing business in Africa. IIFT is the only institute where students of the flagship MBA programme have institutionalised an Africa Business Cell dedicated to do business in Africa and understanding the challenges for the same. On the occasion RM Joshi, chairperson, International Projects Division, IIFT, said, “As one can see, after the economic slowdown in the US and Europe, Africa has come up as strong nation with wide opportunities. And IIFT has been entrusted with the responsibility of setting up a foreign trade institute in Africa and to improvise the quality of education by organising capacity building programmes.”
On 5th November, IIFT, Delhi campus hosted the grand alumni reunion for the year 2011. The campus had decked up with banners and bright lights as it welcomed its prestigious alumni and their family members.
The evening started off with the director Sri KT Chacko and corporate placement adviser/faculty alumni coordinator Shri Munish Bhargava addressing the august gathering. For the first time, two alumni of the year awards were given out. The first award for the alumni of the year-business executive was given to Shri K. V. Rao (MPIB batch 1984), a TAS alumnus and currently head of Tata Power, Singapore. The second award for the alumni of the year-entrpreneur was given to Shri Nand Kishore Rathi (MPIB batch 1985) who is currently the CEO of his own firm, Premium Apparels which is based out of Hong Kong and has revenues of over 40 million USD.
Following the awards, students from both the current batches of MBA-IB performed for the alumni. The evening culminated with a grand dinner hosted by the Director. It was a memorable experience for the alumni who got a chance to reconnect with their alma mater and a fanatstic opportunity for the current batch of students to interact with the alumni and fully appreciate the fact that they are part of a larger fraternity.
