Description

We’re joined by MBA Alumni Suraj Wadhwani (‘25) to break down what case competitions really are and why they matter for more than just aspiring consultants. Picture a Shark Tank-style challenge with tight timelines, new teammates, and a real business problem to solve. Suraj shares how competing sharpened his problem-solving, teamwork, and storytelling skills, why clarity beats complexity every time, and how leaning into discomfort can be the biggest growth driver. If you’ve ever wondered whether case comps are worth it, this episode makes the case for saying yes.
