“My major learning was to actively listen and respect the opinion of all my team members, which I think will be of great importance irrespective of the field which I go going forward.”
*Harsh Gupta
T.A. Pai Management Institute*
“We made a few bets because you cannot do everything based on data because you don’t know what your competitors are gonna do. Some choices that made us win were based on strategic thinking and trying to predict what the competitors were gonna do.”
*Maxime Argillier*
*ESSEC Business School*
“It’s a great experience. People will learn to work in teams together. Also, for anybody who wants to be in the business world this would be beneficial. It would give them the basis of working in teams, collaborating, brainstorming and then actually thinking strategically."
*Faycal Ibrahim
EM Strasbourg Business School*
