INDIA’S PREMIER CASE COMPETITION & MANAGEMENT FEST FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS
Real-world business environments. Present slide decks, negotiate acquisitions, or navigate corporate crises.
This is a highly competitive, fast-paced tournament designed for teams across the NCR region. The comprehensive business case dossier will be delivered directly to your registered email upon confirmation. Your team must research, solve, and design a high-fidelity presentation deck prior to the event.
On Day 1, teams will present their pitches live to a panel of corporate consultants and industry expert judges. All presentations are capped strictly at **10 minutes** with an intensive **5-minute Q&A** from the jury.
Only the top 4 teams from the preliminary pitches will be invited back to the main stage on Day 2 for the semi-finals and finals. While Day 2 remains open for all other participants to spectate and network, attendance on Day 2 is optional for non-finalist teams.
Case file links ship immediately in your payment/registration confirmation emails.
10-minute slides pitch limit, strictly monitored by floor marshals. 5-minute judges grilling.
Top 4 brackets announced at close of Day 1. Finals are open-spectator sessions on Day 2.
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.
10–12 minutes maximum pitch slot per team. Presentation slides are built completely before the conference.
5–8 minutes of intense board questioning, focused on financial sheets and acquisition logic.
The Board votes on-spot to announce which corporate firm secures the acquisition rights and wins the match.
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.
Divide and conquer. Your team of 4 must step directly into these roles:
ACQUIRE ATTENTION, SPREAD INFLUENCE, AND CAPTURE THE MARKET.
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.
