Arthashastra
"You cannot win if you are not at the table. You have to be where the action is!"
Arthashashtra, a flagship case study competition of SIIB, is designed to encourage budding managers to apply their classroom learning into solving real-life transitional and emerging market problems straight out of the corporate world.
The study of management, self-consciousness and agility that leads to superior quality is what Arthashashtra teaches us.
Arthashashtra was started in 2015, sponsored by Park Avenue in its 1 st year and NLPL in its 2 nd year, the event witnessed participation from B-schools pan India.
Arthashashtra 2.0 consisted of three rounds:
- Round 1: Karmabhoomi
An online quiz to test the managerial aptitude of the participants. - Round 2: Taandav
Qualifying teams compete in an online qualitative case study competition. This round tested how well the teams conjoin management theories with real world corporate problems. - Round 3: Ranbhoomi
The on-campus round comprised presentation of the case problem with added constraints from the panel of judges.
With cash prize worth 65,000/- up for grabs, Arthashashtra saw 250 teams battle their way through Karmabhoomi (round 1) in the quest for Taandav (round 2). A total of 40 teams were shortlisted for the second round, out of which only 6 teams found their way to Ranbhoomi (round 3).
