The JSW Challenge, in its inaugural year, saw a massive response from B-schools across the country. Students from varied institutes joined in teams of 3 from their campuses and took part in this B-school case study competition where they had to solve a real-life business problem for JSW. And entries poured in, in huge numbers. More than 900 teams from different B-schools across the country took part in the competition with 130+ moving to the second round. After a rigorous evaluation process by JSW, the final 10 teams were picked for the Grand Finale that took place on August 30 and 31st, 2021.
After hours of hardwork and putting together creative and calculated solutions on the table the winner is finally out.
We congratulate Team Mixers from IIFT Delhi who have won the competition this year thanks to their innovative idea and approach of putting it together. All the team members of Team Mixers will get Rs. 2 lakh each and a PPO from JSW.
