Transcend
2026

Transcend, the annual cultural and management festival of SIBM Pune, is a three-day celebration that brings together top B-schools from across the country for intense competition, creativity and campus vibrancy. The fest features two major flagship events Last Man Standing, India’s most rewarding B-school individual competition with a prize of ₹1.5 lakh, and Strategia, a high-stakes strategy challenge that attracts the brightest minds.
The theme for Transcend 2026, “The Arcadian Gambit,” draws inspiration from neon arcades, immersive gameplay and the thrill of competitive strategy. This theme blends seamlessly with college life mirroring the energy, spontaneity, friendly rivalry, and collaborative spirit that define campus culture. Just like arcade games, every student team strategizes, competes, levels up, and creates unforgettable memories, making the fest an electrifying fusion of intellect, entertainment, and youthful nostalgia.
