Numero Uno

The fight is on. Numero Uno, the flagship event of Vista has been shaping up as one of the most exciting and gruelling competitions of the fest as promised.. With MULTIPLE ROUNDS, (capitalized to bring your attention to the number of levels that are present in the event), that plan to test the stamina and stubbornness and sheer perseverance of the finalists, it is living up to its name of producing the number one in management.

Today's rounds started off with an ice breaker where everybody was pitted against everybody.. To be honourable or to be cunning?? Or to win? The classic case of prisoner's dilemma among people who are not just rational but who can also be smart and devious and take decisions that will lead them to victory over others.. The competition was intense like at a poker table but here the stakes were higher.. But its all part of Numero Uno..

The second round cast these aspirants as generals commanding their army or more specifically their army supplies.. Of course the participants adapted quickly thinking along the lines of where to send the ammunition? and when to order and how much to order so that the troops don't perish.. They also had to remember not to squander away their war chest and keep the costs at a minimum.. They would probably have gotten PPOs from the Indian Army if anybody from there had seen it..

And the story doesn't stop there of course.. Their business acumen still had to be put under the scope and what better way to do that than with a case?? That was the third round.. The 15 chosen from the 15 colleges were shown a video case which they would they would have to analyze and present their views and conclusions as a presentation.. The round was wrapped up with a group interview taken by none other than journalists from Economic Times.. Participants were asked to express their opinions on everything business related and non business related..

And if you think they had a moment to rest after the being put through the grindstone, well you are wrong.. There is much more awaiting them at every turn and corner.. but it is not only these participants.. there is much more excitement and activity waiting for you too at Vista.. Come, explore, experience and enjoy..
