Markstrat, the Market Strategy Contest

Want to find out whether you can manage a business? Want to show that your firm can make profits under your leadership? Want to prove to the world that you can conquer threats and benefit from opportunity? If so, CXO is the event for you. This is where you and three other fellow students can band together as a team of managers. CXO will place your team in charge of a company with resources such as stocks and cash. And you will get to discover what it means to work as the top management.

CXO is one of the finest business simulation games in the world for Indian conditions. It is a collection of business problems, environmental issues, and organisational resources that imitates reality through a back-end software application. Over 7,000 participants have understood business management and entrepreneurship from variants of CXO since 2003.

CXO does not need its participants to be intellectuals, has no tests or examinations, no marks or grades, few books and teaching, and is full of conversions and interactions. CXO is one of the fastest and most exciting ways to learn about management functions, business drivers, financial reports, products and markets, teamwork, and making decisions.

A total of INR 60,000 in prize money is up for grabs. There will be one winner and one runner-up in each of the four groups. Check the following link for details: -
