What made you participate in Mahindra Warroom Season 11?
MWR is one of the biggest corporate events that happen in India. The case involved is mentally stimulating and explores several angles of the practical world. We desired to apply our problem-solving skills and creativity to test our mettle and hone them further to be ready for a corporate career. We believe competitions like these are the best ways to actually delve into real-world problems and young leaders in the making are better prepared for the real-world battle when they experience these stepping stones.
After getting to know the group better through the competition, What does Mahindra Group stand for, in your mind?
Mahindra stands for trust. Its various diversifications show us that it's very agile, adaptable to change and is like a dark horse. Its a company which have something to offer to every kind of person, where every moment gives you a reason to shine and rise. Its solutions are meant for everyone-from the grass root level marginal farmers to the tech-savvy modern millennials.
How did you go about picking your case and solving it? Tell us a few team anecdotes
Our team’s 1st and only choice was the agribusiness case. Even as we read the case, each of us instantly related to it. Being like-minded, with a heartfelt desire to bring in that change in something that’s a part of everyone’s lives-food, to help the people who actually sustain our lives-the farmers, we immediately unanimously agreed on the case. We wanted to help the farmers who feed the whole world, themselves be better fed and more self-sufficient.
How are you preparing for the finale?
That’s a secret! You never reveal your moves before the battle!
What is the one question you would like to ask Mr Anand Mahindra when you meet him in person?
Why the theme of big and bold? What is the future that he’s envisioning for Mahindra that the theme weaves in as such?
Your plan with the prize money?
Spend a part of the money to help the farmers whom we interviewed in the course of MWR buy solar powered pumps and panels. The rest, we plan to use it to repay our MBA loans!
