The Statesman Kolkata
|November 18, 2025
Imagine a pair of Al-powered spectacles that is designed specifically to guide the visually impaired, or a simple locket with SOS and tracking features empowering personal security in today's world.
These aren't gadgets from a sci-fi novel; they became a reality at Velocity 2025. Recently, BDM International hosted 'Velocity', its annual inter-school business idea presentation. Organised at the Gemstone Auditorium in the school, this year marked the third edition, where students from leading schools participated and presented their business ideas.
The event commenced with a traditional lamp lighting ritual, symbolising the ignition of fresh ideas. 36 students from nine different schools of Kolkata converged with the aim to pitch ideas that are creative, feasible, and sustainable. Sanjay Saraf, Founder and CEO of Sanjay Saraf Educational Institute Pvt. Ltd., graced the event as the Chief Guest. The presence of Pankaj Dubey, Founder of DSPIN Consulting Pvt. Ltd as the Guest of Honour added charm to the event. An esteemed panel of judges, comprising Anirban Banerjee, Co-founder & CMO, Flutrr; Bihan Ratan Sanyal, Manager, Ernst & Young; and Sayanki Chakraborty, Associate Vice President, HSBC Bank, evaluated the presentations.

Venugopal may have earned extra political capital and brownie points after “voluntarily” stepping aside from the race for Kerala chief minister in favour of V. D. Satheesan following the Congress-led UDF’s victory in the May 2026 Assembly elections.
