Masters of Ideation 2016 wraps up

The Grand Finale of Masters of Ideation, the inter-university case solving competition organised by Young Entrepreneurs Society (NSU YES!), took place this Monday, April 18. Like every other year, the competition kicked off with intra-university workshops and rounds where universities picked their bests and sent them forward to participate in the national phase.

24 teams made it through the rigorous judgment process of the first round and advanced to the second where the teams had even harder cases to crack with a stern judgement criteria.

After the completion of this round, only 12 teams were selected to move forward to the third round, also known as the Ideation Round. The teams were introduced to a fictional village by the name of "Adorsho." The participants were given 10 million in credit, a list of production possibilities and the resources needed for the production of these goods. The challenge was to create a perfect mix of resources and products that would make the business sustainable in a 5 year timeline.
