The Port
Indian Maritime University's Kochi Campus sits on the coast that trains the country's merchant navy — a fitting harbour for a fest built around navigation, strategy and enterprise.
The Voyage
Why a maritime campus is throwing a maritime management fest — and what we're building toward.
OCEANICA – THE THIRD WAVE is the third edition of the Maritime Management Fest organized by the School of Maritime Management, IMU Kochi Campus. Following the success of its first two editions, which welcomed 600+ students from 100+ colleges across India, the fest celebrates talent, innovation, and collaboration through diverse events.
Beyond competitions, Oceanica offers professional development and networking opportunities.
This year, under the theme “BLUE ODYSSEY”, the fest highlights sustainability and marine conservation, inspiring a deeper connection with the maritime world.
Why We Built This
Every event puts a real decision in front of you — a case, a budget, a network under pressure — rather than a hypothetical to talk around.
Open to management and business students nationwide, run from a campus with a genuinely different institutional culture.
This is edition three. We'd rather tell you what's confirmed and what's still in motion than dress up placeholders as promises.
At the Helm
The people whose vision and support give this fest its heading.

Under the Director's guidance, the Kochi Campus has grown into a centre for maritime education, training and enterprise. Their steady support for student initiatives has made OCEANICA possible, giving management students a platform to turn classroom learning into real decisions.
The Director continues to champion industry engagement and all-round student development, shaping future leaders for the maritime and logistics sectors.
Head of Department

“A good manager does not wait for calm waters; they learn to navigate the storm.”
As Head of the Department, they have been the academic anchor behind OCEANICA, mentoring the student organising team and encouraging the fest's focus on case-based, decision-driven competition.
Their commitment to practical learning and industry exposure continues to inspire students to think strategically and lead with confidence.
