The Ultimate Business Strategy Challenge
About Strategia '27
Held at Loyola College, Chennai on 15 and 16 February 2027.
Strategia '27 is the annual inter-collegiate business strategy conference of the Department of B.Com.(Honours), Loyola College, Chennai. It brings together undergraduate and postgraduate students from institutions across India to compete in five professionally designed events spanning auditing, marketing, product innovation, investment analysis and business case solving.
Each event is structured as a simulation of professional practice. Teams are required to work with incomplete information, prescribed time limits and evaluation criteria drawn from industry practice. Every event progresses from an online preliminary round to a live round on campus, assessed by academic and industry professionals.
The conference concludes with the Final Showdown, an undisclosed challenge contested by the two highest-placed teams from each event.
