Not every business problem comes with a clean dataset. Sometimes all you have is incomplete information, a ticking clock, and the need to arrive at a smart, defensible number anyway. That's the real test of a strategist — not just analyzing data, but making sense of uncertainty when the data isn't there. Guesstimania, Krishi Chanakya's flagship guesstimate competition, is built around exactly that skill. Participants are handed real-world estimation problems - the kind consulting firms and business strategists solve every day and challenged to break them down logically, make reasonable assumptions, and arrive at a well-reasoned estimate backed by clear thinking, not guesswork. It's a true test of analytical reasoning, structured problem-solving, and the ability to think on your feet under pressure. This is where calculated assumptions meet business logic, and where the sharpest minds turn ambiguity into insight. If you can find structure in chaos and defend a number with sound reasoning, Guesstimania is where you prove it on a national stage. Eligibility: Open to all students pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), and allied management courses.
