The M&A Event

REGISTRATION FEE ₹1200 / PERSON // TEAMS OF EXACTLY 3 MEMBERS
// SUITS-STYLE CORPORATE WARFARE

Step into the high-yield arena of investment banking and corporate development. The M&A Event runs as a standalone track. Prior to the conference, each team of 3 is assigned a real-world startup and a major public acquirer within the same industry (e.g., Team A gets Startup X + Corporate Giant A; Team B gets Startup X + Corporate Giant B).

You arrive at the conference with a pre-prepared PPT, pitching exactly why this specific startup should be acquired by your assigned public giant over your competitor's. You compete directly, head-to-head, to acquire the same startup assets.

Present to an executive board of startup founders and corporate decision-makers. Defend valuation parameters, strategic synergy alignments, and post-acquisition integration structures. This is highly interactive: teams will cross-question each other, call out valuation gaps or structural scams, and make live counter-offers to outbid their competitors.

// EVENT FORMAT
PITCH WINDOW

10–12 minutes maximum pitch slot per team. Presentation slides are built completely before the conference.

BOARD EXAMINATION

5–8 minutes of intense board questioning, focused on financial sheets and acquisition logic.

HEAD-TO-HEAD DECISION

The Board votes on-spot to announce which corporate firm secures the acquisition rights and wins the match.

The Boardroom

DELEGATE ENROLMENT ₹2000 / PERSON // MANDATORY 4-PERSON TEAMS
// THE RULES OF PLOT TWISTS

Forget boring corporate meetings. The Boardroom is a highly interactive, fast-paced corporate simulator. Run strictly under **MUN crisis procedures**, your 4-person team gets allotted a multi-billion dollar company. The case brief is classified until 2 days before the event.

Every 60 minutes, a massive crisis breaks: internal emails leak to the press, hostile acquisitions are launched, or secret company files are handed to hungry journalists.

Write marketing rescues, deploy legal defenses, make split-second investments, and address your rivals in hostile floor debates before the marketplace consumes your stock value.

// THE EXECUTIVE HOT SEATS

Divide and conquer. Your team of 4 must step directly into these roles:

CEO Chief Executive
CFO Chief Finance
CLO Chief Legal
CCO Chief Comm.
MEDIA THREAT: Leaked internal emails and financials will lead to aggressive, live press conferences. Answer or dodge questions, but protect your corporate value.

REGISTRATION FEE ₹1500 / PERSON // TEAMS OF 2-3 MEMBERS

The Ad Mad Show is a fast-paced on-site marketing tournament. Teams are handed a brand brief detailing a legacy company struggling to capture modern attention markets. Within a strict 3-hour production window, your team must script, direct, shoot, and edit an engaging, 60-second viral video or social media reel using only handheld mobile devices on-site.

Alongside the video asset, teams must construct a comprehensive marketing strategy brief. This document must map out target audience demographics, optimized ad-spend allocation across platforms, and calculated customer acquisition costs (CAC) to prove the commercial viability of your campaign.

Finally, you will pitch your creative concept, the video asset, and your strategic brief directly to a jury of active creative directors, ad agency heads, and brand managers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

The National Case Competition is an intense paid tournament at ₹800 per participant (teams of 3–4). The case file is delivered directly inside your registration confirmation email. Presentations on Day 1 are strictly capped at 10 minutes followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. The top 4 teams advance to the semi-finals and finals on Day 2, while other delegates can spectate or network.
The M&A Event (₹700 per participant, teams of 3) is a standalone corporate finance track. Two rival teams are assigned the same startup, but different corporate giants as potential acquirers. You arrive at NCMF with a pre-prepared pitch deck advocating why your assigned public giant should acquire that startup. This results in head-to-head, high-energy corporate bid warfare with direct cross-questioning and counter-offers before an active executive board.
Every hour, a major macroeconomic, regulatory, or public relations event is announced to the boardroom. This fundamentally shifts the business landscape—such as sudden supply shortages, targeted lawsuits, or market crashes. Some updates are delivered privately to specific companies, introducing strategic plot twists. Teams must quickly rewrite strategies, protect assets, and deliver speeches to maintain control.
The Ad Mad Show is a fast-paced branding tournament for teams of 2–3 (at ₹1500 per person). You will draft strategic copy, define target consumer personas, and record high-energy business reels on-site within 3 hours. You will present your campaign assets directly to creative directors and industry branding mentors, receiving live tactical feedback while competing for specialized trophies in marketing strategy and media presentation.
We recognize excellence with premium physical trophies and official certificates. The formal award distribution is structured as follows:
  • For each Case Competition: Best Team Trophy, First Runner's Up Team Trophy, Second Runner's Up Team Trophy, alongside merit certificates.
  • For the Ad Mad Show: Best Overall Team Trophy, Best Media & Presentation Trophy, and Best Marketing Strategy Trophy.
