Vedatya hosted Muqabla 2024, an exciting competition designed to offer school students a platform to showcase their talents in hospitality, culinary arts, business, and design. Held on October 15, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Vedatya’s sprawling campus in Sohna, Gurugram, the event was a day of creativity, innovation, and networking for the young professionals of tomorrow.

Students from renowned institutions, including The Shri Ram School, DAV Public School, Euro International School, Heritage Xperiential Learning School, K.R. Mangalam World School, and many others, will compete in a series of challenging and engaging competitions.

Muqabla 2024 offers a variety of creative competitions. Participants can showcase their culinary skills in the Budding Chef Competition by preparing traditional Indian dishes. The “Joy of Draping” competition focuses on innovative ways to adorn the body using uncut cloth. In the “Ad-Mad Show,” students create humorous and conceptual advertisements for different products and services. Finally, the “Be a ‘Change Maker'” competition challenges participants to produce engaging reels that capture service moments or Muqabla-related content.

The event not only allows students to demonstrate their skills but also provides valuable networking opportunities with industry professionals. In addition to the competitions, attendees will enjoy a Hi-Tea and musical soirée, offering a perfect platform for participants to connect with potential employers and expand their career opportunities.

Prof. Sandeep Munjal shares, “This year marks the 10th anniversary of our Muqabla event, a tradition of hosting competitions that has spanned the last decade. In the 2024 edition, students have showcased their skills across four diverse areas: culinary arts, design, advertisement creation, and creative digital space. The goal of Muqabla is to provide a platform where young talents can demonstrate their aptitude in the fields of their interest. It’s a melting pot of ideas and creativity, allowing participants to explore various opportunities and understand how they can excel in their areas of interest.

For us as an institute, Muqabla is more than just a competition; it’s an opportunity to share with the world the breadth of what we offer. It serves as an essential outreach platform where young students can test their skills and determine if they want to pursue a career in these fields. The event also gives them the chance to interact with industry experts, gaining valuable insights and exposure.

We are thrilled with the response that we have received because we believe that having a clearer idea of one’s career path early on—through real-world exposure—helps students in making informed decisions when choosing a college. This event does just that. It is for the students to test waters, see what they can do better and chart a path from themselves.

Currently, Muqabla caters to the Delhi-NCR region, but our vision is to expand this platform pan-India and eventually overseas, reaching even more young minds in the future.”
