Case For Transformation – National Case Competition: Stages and Timelines
Round 1 – Problem Framing (2-page deck)
This round is all about clarity of thought. In just two pages, your team needs to cut through the noise and get to the heart of the challenge. Think like consultants in their first client meeting – capture the core diagnosis, highlight sharp insights, and outline a clear initial strategic direction.
The best decks will show structured thinking, clarity of narrative, and bold direction-setting, even in a short format.
Round 2 – Deep Dive (Detailed deck)
Now it’s time to prove the depth of your analysis. This round requires a comprehensive consulting-style deck that goes beyond the “what” to the “how”. Here, you’ll break the problem down using frameworks, models, and detailed strategies.
This round is where your solution is stress-tested on analytical rigor, feasibility, and impact. Judges will look for thinking that is not just smart, but also implementable.
Round 3 – The Boardroom (Presentation round)
This will be a Online round! You will see the “Enter” button here, once the round is live.

- Deliverables: Decks, models, and a final presentation
- Evaluation: Clarity of insight, analytical depth, practicality of solutions, and storytelling impact
This challenge is your chance to go beyond classroom theory – to think like consultants, design like innovators, and present like leaders. The ideas you bring here won’t just stay on paper. They could inspire how 1.4 billion Indians connect with work and opportunity
