We had to qualify two rounds of business simulation exercises before the final case study was revealed. The part that we found the most exciting was that, it was based on real-time business problems faced by the conglomerate. We were required to submit the solution within 4 days. Those 4 days seemed so challenging yet so enriching. We didn’t leave any stone unturned. As a part of our primary research, we collected relevant ideas by reaching out to a number of faculty members, friends, former colleagues, industry veterans, etc. We enclosed ourselves within the walls of numerous articles and research papers on similar topics for the secondary research.
The finale for HeadstaRt 2018 was held at Mumbai and there were 8 teams from premier B-schools in the country fighting for the title. The entire event was brilliantly organised by Aditya Birla Group and even though we were a bit tense, we enjoyed every single bit of it. The support and cheering which we received before the presentations from the star-studded panel of judges really propelled us to do our best. The chance to interact with such stalwarts face-to-face and hear their thoughts on the topic was an exciting opportunity in itself. The humility with which they spoke about their rich practical experiences over the years was beyond comparison. It showed us how important it was to be grounded to your roots irrespective of the heights one reaches in their lives.
All in all, HeadstaRt 2018 was an experience to cherish for a lifetime. I feel indebted to ABG for giving us this platform and I am eagerly looking forward to work on more such real-life problems and know more about the conglomerate during my internship.
