In the Operations Competition, Krupa Shetty, Pareekshith Gokhale and G. Dhanush secured the first position. The event comprised a quiz on operations management, a case study analysis to evaluate the quality of research and the feasibility of recommendations and a virtual simulation game designed to test participants’ understanding of operations management by balancing supply and demand effectively.
