Aditya Bhatia was among the top 25 winners with his essay ‘The silent epidemic of ageing alone: why should we care about care?’. In addition, the team comprising SPJIMR participants Aditya Guha and Ritik Garg, with students from other global universities, emerged victorious in the ABB and Swiss Re case challenge and received the opportunity to present their solution on-stage to the global audience, including senior executives from ABB, Accenture and Swiss Re.
