The prize includes an amount of $10,000. School of Business and Economics, Brazil, and Johns Hopkins University were declared the first and second runner-up, respectively.

The winning team comprised of 2nd year students from the BMS and BBA (FIA) courses of SSCBS -- Sparsh Sehgal, Ojas Jhamb, Kunal Vats, Raghav Nath and Aanand Negi, under the mentorship of faculty members Neeraj Sehrawat and Amit Kumar.

"It was a great opportunity for our students to learn and interact with other international students. I am glad that our students are achieving international laurels and bringing positive news, especially during such times," said Poonam Verma, Principal, SSCBS.
