Flipkart WiRED Case Challenge 2017

Flipkart launched WiRED Case Challenge to attract brightest minds in B-schools, who can think beyond the conventional ways and revolutionize the business in future.

This case study challenge was thrown open to the final year students of the flagship programmes in selected institutions which were  IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bengaluru, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, XLRI Jamshedpur, FMS New Delhi, and SPJIMR Mumbai.

The competition was held at two levels: Campus level and National level. The students from the selected campuses formed a three-member team. A case study was given to all the participating teams and the top 3 teams are evaluated by the Flipkart panellists. Winners were declared on the same day and pre-placement interviews(PPI) were conducted for the winning team and other PPI winners from other teams.

The campus winners flew down to Flipkart headquarters for the National round, where they were given additional dimensions to the case-study they had earlier presented and they got an opportunity to interact with Flipkart leadership and present their ideas and solutions to them.

The winners of the competition and results for the PPIs were announced on the same day, 17th November 2017. Insignia from IIM Calcutta won the national level championship and was awarded a cash prize of 200,000 INR.

Competitions like this boost up the morale of the students and also prepare them to handle real-life situations once they are on the field.
