FlagShip Event - Nautica
Nautica is a 3-day business simulation challenge that provides a platform to test your business acumen against some of the best B-school students of the nation. The platform allows participants to formulate strategy implementation using key financial measures and market and customer insights. By seeing the consequences of their day-to-day decision-making in a simulation, participants develop their analytical mindset and accountability while learning how to increase the total shareholder return of a company. The business simulation platform was developed in-house by MDI Gurgaon students. This web-based platform allowed the contestants to have an immersive engagement with the platform. The participants were asked to make business decisions in various functions of business such as Production, HR, R&D, Logistics, Sales & Marketing and Finance. As we shifted our business simulation platform from an Excel to a PHP-based web portal, we established a benchmark for Indian B schools to organize a business simulation competition. This flagship event of Imperium has increased in popularity among the students of the Bschool circuit because of its uniqueness and innovation. Management students across the country eagerly look forward to this exciting online simulation every year.
