It provided a perfect platform to test the analytical and research skills of budding analytics professionals.
Speaking on the topic one of our students who has been placed at Nielsen recently, Yash Agarwal said and I quote .. “Industry cases provide opportune moments to apply our learnings alongside getting to know the latest trends and when a company like Right2Vote teams up with Ivy, we know we are at the right place”.
The contestants were not expected to do any primary research although they were certainly expected to back the findings of their report with data and logic.
Some key pointers covered in their reports included :
We received a massive response with 69 Entries in total with each of them containing some interesting business cases. Out of all, two best teams made the final cut.
The winners were rewarded for their hard work with certificates, cash prizes of INR 5000 and also an opportunity for the coveted internship with Right2Vote.
“The aim of this project was to nudge the participants towards analysing the online voting industry in a country there is a very limited study or research done on online voting as a business or an industry….It would give them a broader perspective on how they can use their Analytical skills sets in a completely unique environment.” says Prateek Agrawal, Director, Ivy Professional School.
