TFS Finvesta is the Flagship Case Competition organised by The Finance Symposium (TFS), St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, bringing together ambitious students to tackle real-world business challenges and think beyond conventional solutions Finvesta puts participants in the shoes of business decision-makers, challenging them to navigate complex situations, identify the issues that truly matter, and make decisions that can shape an organisation’s future. They need to find the right answer by building a practical, evidence-backed and commercially sound strategy and defending it with conviction. Participants will be expected to analyse the case from multiple perspectives, evaluate competing priorities, and translate their insights into implementable solutions. The final recommendations will be presented before a judging panel in a professional PowerPoint presentation, testing their storytelling ability to justify a decision under scrutiny. What makes Finvesta unique is that we welcome students across all disciplines including commerce, management, economics, engineering, humanities and many more. We believe the strongest solutions emerge when different perspectives come together, and participants are encouraged to leverage their unique academic and professional lenses. If you're looking for a competition that goes beyond textbook frameworks and asks you to think like a decision-maker, defend your choices and solve problems that don't have straightforward answers, Finvesta is where you belong. All rounds of the competition will be conducted online.
