Winners of the NASSCOM IT Case Study, FMS Delhi

Freezing in the delhi cold blast, chugging along in a cycle-rickshaw with hardly any break-fast little did i know that this would be one of those days which i would remember for long.
It was as finalists of NASSCOM's IT case study on "IT enablement in the Auto Ancillary Sector" that made myself and Anindya Gupta knock on the doors of FMS, delhi. Reaching there a day earlier, we enjoyed the hospitality of a single bed-room and amazing night-canteen food (all thanks to Arvind, my childhood mate there); we almost finished our PPT during the entire night, and myself had to brush through my presentation just 4 hours before the final presentation in front of the judges.
The CASE study given to us can be accessed in this link
Briefly speaking, the case highlighted the need for IT enablement in the Auto Ancillary sector (or as u might add almost every other sector in India) with elaborate Charts and Graphs of the current scenario. And then we were asked to prepare a IT budget for the Auto Ancillary Clusters and forecast how this should be implemented.

We took an altogether different path in our Presentation, and instead of presenting the boring IT budgeting we went ahead with detailed analysis of the Auto Ancillary sector, their actual requirements (and not as formulated in the PPT) seeing if there was any ROE for these IT enablement and then predicting the formulation of a perfect IT spending across the Auto ancillary sector, separately for LARGE and later for Medium size companies.

And Glad that i must mention it paid off, and we won first prize in the competition; surpassing IIMs, XLRI, FMS and IMT-ghaziabad.

Later on, in another on-the-spot event we once again rocked the show and won the first prize..
I must add, "LIFE is HAPPENING"
