Desai, a second-year post-graduate student at the IIM Calcutta, has won himself an evening with nearly 400 of India’s top CEOs. As winner of the Case Study in Excellence Competition, he is being flown to Mumbai to attend the felicitation ceremony of The Economic Times Awards for Corporate Excellence, to be held at The Oberoi on January 17.
“It is a delight to have won a pan-India competition, and a double delight to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rub shoulders with so many Indian CEOs,” exclaimed a visibly jubilant Desai. He is followed by Satish M from IIM Bangalore and Arijit Ganguly from IIM Kozhikode as joint first runners-up.
The third place was taken by Chirag Kumar (Amity Business School), Joy Biswas (Great Lakes Institute of Management) and Sandeep Sahota (IIT Kharagpur). All the winners will be awarded gift vouchers from Raymond.

Presented by Raymond and conducted under the aegis of ET in Campus (ET’s business-school initiative), the Case Study competition has been an annual accompaniment to the ET Awards. It seeks to involve students to analyse a case study in excellence.
This year, the case study competition — on a bicycle manufacturer
— was managed by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in both, the selection of the case and the declaration of the winner. According to PwC, the winning case “brought out a wide array of strategic choices showcasing a multi-faceted approach and clarity of thought.”
Chirag believes that his extensive scan of the industry — rather than a narrow focus on just the subject of the case — is what made him analyse it better than others. For the record, the competition received over 1,200 entries, of which 600 were valid and complete in all respects. They were vetted at a preliminary stage by The Economic Times Intelligence Group (ETIG) before being handed over to PwC for the final evaluation.
