Souria & Shubham from IIM Kozhikode find their footing as the second runners up of RPG Blizzard 2019

The uniquely framed competition, RPG Blizzard 2019, provided us a platform to showcase our talents on the national level. Defying all odds and bagging the position of the Second Runners Up of RPG Blizzard 2019 was an overwhelming experience for us. 

How our team stood out from the rest


9 teams made it to the National Finale. Every year, RPG is known to surprise students with a new format of the competition. This year, the framework of the competition was that of a quiz. Thus, every team was given equal opportunity. 

RPG Blizzard required us to form a team for the final round. For all the other rounds, we participated on an individual level. I was fortunate to have been partnered with Shubham. He is an exceptionally talented person who thinks on his feet. His contribution to the competition and our overall partnership helped us win the title of Second Runners Up of RPG Blizzard 2019. 

The well-planned competition


The judgement panel had eminent leaders from the industry. The results were announced was done on the spot. We believe that the judgement was fair and unbiased. The event was well-planned and organised and the entire event was executed on time, as per the schedule.

The whole competition, from the very beginning to the end, tested us on different fronts. We faced challenges in various domains. According to us, the best moment for us when we were told that the top 3 teams would get to meet the chairman of RPG. The excitement of meeting the leaders of the industry thrilled us and we thought of making the most of this opportunity. Thus, reaching the finals and bagging the title of the Second Runners Up of RPG Blizzard 2019 was a remarkable experience altogether. 

One special learning we garnered during our journey was that from the leaders of RPG. Meeting them and hearing about their stories and experiences was a truly enriching experience for us.
