"A good product does not sell itself. A great marketing strategy makes people feel like they discovered it."
MarkSense is a premier marketing strategy competition organized by ASSETS DTU in collaboration with MarkSoc, under the flagship event Fortune: The Finance Fiesta 2026, North India’s biggest finance fest at Delhi Technological University.
In association with CashKaro, the Official Case Partner, MarkSense is designed as a high-impact, real-world case competition that challenges participants to think like business leaders and build actionable growth strategies.
Teams will be presented with a problem statement and tasked with crafting a comprehensive, full-spectrum marketing strategy from consumer segmentation and brand positioning to campaign architecture, channel selection, and measurable growth outcomes. Participants are expected to combine analytical thinking, marketing acumen, and leadership skills to deliver innovative, execution-ready solutions.
At MarkSense, the best strategies emerge at the intersection of creativity and commercial rigor. Ideas without business viability fall short, just as technically sound plans without originality fail to stand out. Judges are looking for sharp, practical, and insight-driven approaches that reflect a deep understanding of consumer behavior and market dynamics.
If you believe that brand-building is business-building, MarkSense is where you prove it.
