"A huge thanks to the PwC organising team for a brilliantly designed competition that pushed us to think sharper at every stage. Competing alongside such talented teams was both humbling and inspiring, we learned as much from them as from the case itself. More than the prize, the real takeaway was, in the words of one of our judges, the learning, excellence in execution, and the spirit of collaboration. A big thank you to PwC, our mentors, and fellow competitors for making this experience truly unforgettable for us!"

2nd Runner-up of Challenge 7.0

"The PwC Case Competition was nothing short of an adventure. From digging deep into the climate tech space to brainstorming late nights and finally pitching our solution to the jury, it was an amazing rollercoaster of learning and excitement. The entire journey, right from the first round to the finals in Bangalore was smooth, well organized, and absolutely thrilling. The trip to Bangalore itself was a highlight, with everything perfectly taken care of, making the experience even more memorable. Competitions like this not only test your problem solving skills but also add that spark which makes the MBA journey so much more rewarding (and fun!)."
