XPLORYZE 2.0- Case Study Competition

XPLORYZE is the flagship event of OPEP club conducted as part of IIM Raipur’s Annual Business  & Cultural Fest 'EQUINOX'. It is a case analysis competition in which teams from premium B-schools of the country compete against each other. The event was organised by Anubhav Sood and Abhijeet Srivastav, members of OPEP club. The case involved entry of a new retail store chain in Raipur. Students were to analyse the case based upon the data & situations given in case and come out with choice of location, format, layout & merchandising strategy.  In the first round, students from all B-schools across the country were invited to send their case analysis. On the basis of the analysis top 5 teams were to be selected for presenting their solution in front of judges and audience at IIM Raipur camps.  This time we had a total of 37 entries in the first round out of which top 5 teams were selected to present their analysis in the on-campus finale.

In the first round of the competition, students from all over the country were invited to form teams of two and submit a short presentation on their proposed solution for the case. The event was a phenomenal success as entries were received from IIM Bangalore, IIM Rohtak, IIM Indore, IIM Raipur, NITIE Mumbai and SP Jain to name a few. The best four entries were selected and the teams were invited to IIM Raipur campus to present their case analysis and solutions in the presence of a judging panel and the students participating in Equinox ‘12. The members of the panel were Dr. Manish Mattoo, an ISB Hyderabad alumnus and Director of Fortis Escorts Hospital and Prof. O. S. Vaidya, Faculty of Operations & Supply Chain Management, IIM Raipur.

The presentations by the finalists reflected very meticulous research and in-depth analysis of an otherwise alien field (medical) with respect to management students. Each presentation was followed by a rigorous Q&A session where, along with the judges, other participants and students too got involved in the discussions. The first position was bagged by Team Chanakyas from NITIE Mumbai.

The judges lauded the OPEP club and the organizers for the successful completion of the event, which attracted such wide participation.

The winning presentation by NITIE Mumbai is given below.
