Do you have what it takes to be the “Numero Uno”? 

Numero Uno is an individual event conducted over multiple rounds, designed to assess knowledge in management, leadership, strategy, and the ability to think quickly. 

Event Structure and Deadlines: 

Round 1: Differentiation

• Business is about making the right decisions at the right time. This round test your decision-making and time management skills through an objective quiz on Unstop.
• Round 1 will be an objective quiz on Unstop designed to test knowledge across domains like finance, marketing, strategy, operations, and human resources acumen in a time-bound scenario. Finance, marketing, strategy, operations, and human resources.
• The top 5 rankers from the quiz will be awarded prizes.

Round 2: Leadership

• Limited perceptions shouldn’t define us. Can you identify all the stakeholders and add value to the value chain?
• Shortlisted participants from Round 1 will strategize an action plan for given stakeholders in a case-based submission.
• Submission Details: The presentation can have up to 4 slides (+2 appendix slides), excluding the cover and team slides. Brevity is appreciated, and it is not compulsory to use all 4 slides.

Round 3: Board Room Discussion 

Round 3a (Finale 1): 

• In a similar business context as Round 2, finalists will solve a crisis in a boardroom setting through group negotiations. No prior preparation is needed, but insights from Round 2 will be beneficial.
• This round is non-eliminating, and all finalists will advance to the next round.

Round 3b (Finale 2): 

• After the candidates have been tested on their group dynamic skills and negotiation powers, they will be called upon individually on the stage.
• The judges will put each finalist in specific business situations (in the capacity of a senior management official) and they are expected to explain their actions therein.
• It will be like a "Question-Answer Gameshow" round where only one finalist is in a room at a point in time.
