The results of the World Asian Case
Competition were announced recently in which
Team India represented by the four-member
team from Delhi University, comprising of
Madhav Chadha and Manpreet Malik from
Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies
was placed 2nd globally, thereby lifting the
Silver Cup, under the mentorship of College
Principal, Dr. Poonam Verma, and Faculty
teacher, Mrs. Madhu Totla, thus becoming the
first Indian undergraduate college team to not
only qualify for the International finals but
also finish at the podium.
One of the proud winners, Madhav Chadha
shared his entire experience from being an
inquisitive first year, charmed by the case
competitions at Harvard and
other colleges to winning
one himself. As he said
that this journey has been
nothing but that of practice
and the desire to get better
and improvised everytime
through self evaluation and
guidance from seniors.
Just one month into the first
semester he realized that
these case competitions don’t
just cover the spectacles of
Ivy leagues but are also very
popular in the DU circuit
and around. The idea of the
kind of hands-on learning
that he could potentially
derive out of these motivated
him to give them a try since
they would also help him
with his academics and
would add to his resume in
case he did well.
But as he said, it was not an easy ride because
the preparation demands commitment and
consistency. Beginnings can be uncertain,
covered in layers of confusion, but again, one
needs to give some time and you eventually fall
in love with the process which at least he did.
He had to miss 90% of the weekend outings his
friends planned because of a case competition
or a debate but he labels it as a tangible cost
which comes attached.
Sharing his learnings he said that it’s all about
problem solving, as he believes he learned a lot,
and still continues to learn that skill, whether
it is about skimming through the financials
or analyzing which business decision went
wrong.
Summing-up his entire experience he said it
was fruitful and rewarding. Back in March,
Ananya Gupta and Jahnvi Vig had asked him
and Manpreet Malik to team up with them for
this “Seoul based Case Comp”. The timeline of
the event was well spread. They worked hard
and became the first UG team from India to
qualify for the finals which previously saw
participation from the likes of Wharton,
Imperial College of London, NUS, IIMs, etc.
On 8th August, they were awarded the silver
cup after 10 presentations and a tricky Q&A.
This activity gave a lot to him. Not just the
push to learn more and be consistent, but also
the best of friends and a niche group of people
with similar goals in life.
Utilizing the above rewards, in an attempt
to make things simpler for others he and his
friends came up with the Case Connect Club,
a platform for learning and networking, which
aims to eliminate information asymmetry.
With Chief Mentors carrying remarkable
case victories and well-positioned Industry
Professionals, it aims to foster mutualgrowth
catalyzed by continually engaging
with this activity through well-planned
learning mechanisms
