It is now time for the finals of the Great Indian B School Debate. From more than 30 teams, we whittled down to six, and after a bruising round of punches and counter punches, we came up with the four semifinalists - IIM Trichy, IIM Lucknow, IIFT Delhi and IIM Ranchi. The semifinals were in a Live Debate format where the contestants initially submitted their opening arguments and continued the debate in the comments section. In case you're late to the show, you can catch up on the first semifinal (The Tablet has No Future - IIM Trichy vs IIM Lucknow) and the second semifinal (Football will Overtake Cricket in India - IIFT Delhi vs IIM Ranchi). All four teams argued passionately. It is now time to announce the participants of the Grand Finale.
