Hosted annually across India’s premier B-Schools, the RPG Blizzard case study competition puts future business leaders in the driver’s seat and tests their creative problem solving skills. This year, over 750 participating teams were asked to work on an ‘Idea Challenge’ where they would suggest ideas for new business development at RPG Group companies.
After a fierce battle that lasted seven months, and over several rounds of competition, the grand finale of RPG Blizzard held at RPG House in October, saw six teams from IIM Lucknow, NITIE Mumbai, IMI New Delhi, IIM Kozhikode and MDI Gurgaon fighting it to the finish.
The team from MDI Gurgaon took home the bragging rights as winners of the 2022 edition of RPG Blizzard, while IIM Lucknow and NITIE Mumbai were declared as runners-up. In addition to exciting cash prizes, the three winning teams were also given premium access to pre-placement interviews at RPG.
