Chaos IIM Ahmedabad 2026

Chaos is the multicultural flagship fest of Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM Ahmedabad)—one of India’s most prestigious institutions. Known for its scale, diversity, and high-energy programming, Chaos brings together students, artists, and audiences from across the country for an immersive cultural experience.

The 2026 edition of Chaos featured leading national artists including Raftaar, Ritviz, Ravator, and Javed Ali, who graced the stage and delivered electrifying performances for a crowd of 10,000+ attendees over multiple days.

We were proud to be appointed as the end-to-end event management agency, responsible for planning, production, coordination, and execution of this large-scale campus festival.

Executing a large-scale, multi-day campus festival required structured planning, tight coordination, and real-time execution control.

Our approach was built around:

1. Structured Pre-Production Planning

We worked closely with the student organizing committee to translate creative vision into executable plans. This included:

• Show-wise breakdowns and timelines
• Vendor alignment across sound, light, stage, and LED
• Consolidation of technical requirements across multiple performances

2. Artist & Show-Centric Execution

With multiple headline artists performing on different days, our focus was on maintaining smooth show flow and production quality. This involved:

• Artist coordination and scheduling
• Technical rider execution
• Stage changeovers and rehearsals
• Live show cueing and on-ground troubleshooting

3. On-Ground Operations & Coordination

Given the scale of the event, seamless coordination was essential. Our team managed:

• Stage and backstage operations
• Vendor teams and technical crews
• Entry, exit, and audience movement coordination in collaboration with campus teams
• Central control for show progression and issue resolution

The emphasis throughout was on clarity of roles, tight communication, and disciplined execution across all event days.
