For candidates facing case interviews at strategy and management consulting firms, from campus rounds at IIMs, ISB and IITs to lateral hiring. You learn to clarify the question before solving, build a profitability or market-entry structure out loud, make guesstimates with stated assumptions, turn a data point into a so-what, synthesise a recommendation in sixty seconds, and defend your numbers under pushback. The tutor runs each case like a real interviewer, giving only what you ask for. The capstone is a full case condensed into ten minutes, scored against every outcome.
