In today’s competitive academic and corporate landscape, platforms that blend learning with real-world application are not just valuable—they’re vital. Artha, the flagship national-level competition hosted by Acharya Bangalore B-School (ABBS) on 18th July 2025, stood out as a shining example of experiential business learning. With its compelling tagline—“Battle of Business & Knowledge”—the event seamlessly integrated a Business Quiz and a Business Plan Competition, offering postgraduate students across India the ultimate stage to test their mettle.
Why Artha Matters: A Launchpad for Future Leaders
Artha Builds Real-World Business Acumen
The competition was more than a theoretical exercise. From crunching numbers in the quiz to presenting investor-ready ideas in the Business Plan segment, Artha pushed participants beyond textbooks and into the world of real business strategy and problem-solving. Students engaged with contemporary business scenarios, market trends, and critical decision-making—all under pressure.
Fostering Teamwork and Collaboration
Each team, comprised of two members, was a masterclass in effective collaboration. Whether it was delegating tasks in the heat of a quiz round or brainstorming value propositions for a start-up pitch, Artha showcased how synchronized efforts fuel success.
Fueling Innovation through Open Themes
Unlike rigid case study formats, Artha’s open-themed Business Plan competition gave students the creative freedom to build solutions from scratch. From analyzing market gaps to developing viable models, participants explored entrepreneurship in its purest form.
