About MarQuest
Built exclusively for marketers.
We are the Marketing Club of Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon, and MarQuest is our home for everything marketing. Open to aspiring marketers at Great Lakes and other colleges alike.
The club behind it
MarQuest is the official marketing club of Great Lakes, Gurgaon, established in 2018 under the guidance of Principal Dr Jones Mathew to build a creative, practical and student-driven marketing community on campus. We run nationwide competitions, offline marketing events, quizzes and workshops, host industry guest lectures, and publish our digital newsletter, MarqChitti.
Beyond events, MarQuest is a year-round community that tracks industry trends, creates content, and keeps the campus talking about marketing. We also support the institute's Sapience Business Conclave and lead our own marquee event at CREST, the annual fest.

Marketing placement prep, current affairs and genuine fun, all under one roof, so getting ready for the season feels less like a chore and more like something you actually want to do.
Our mission
Give every aspiring marketer the frameworks, the current-affairs muscle and the delivery practice to walk into any marketing interview with confidence. Crowd-sourced, always current, and free for the batch.

CREST - our biggest stage of the year
CREST is Great Lakes Gurgaon's annual fest, and MarQuest owns its marketing event end to end - ideation, nationwide promotions, registrations, shortlisting, round design and on-ground execution. Last year's edition, Ad Alchemy, brought the country's sharpest marketing minds together on creativity, storytelling and brand thinking.
Teams from IIMs, TISS, MICA, IIFT, MDI, SSCBS, IMI, IIT Roorkee, Christ University and 100+ B-schools compete each year.
With gratitude
None of this happens without our mentor, Prof. Parveen Ahluwalia, whose constant guidance and belief shaped MarQuest from day one.
