Welcome to the Tech Zephyr Case Study Competition - by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bhubaneswar! Solve real business problems. Think like a strategist. Compete with the best. Tech Zephyr, hosted by Science and Technology Council (STC) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar, challenges participants to move beyond theory and work through live business dilemmas — the kind companies actually face when scaling, entering new markets, or fixing broken operations. Across 3 rounds, teams will research, structure, and pitch data-backed solutions, sharpening the strategic and analytical muscles that separate good ideas from investable ones. Whether you're new to case competitions or looking to level up, Tech Zephyr rewards rigor over guesswork, backed by a prize pool of INR 30,000.
