History[edit]
Started on 14 June 2009 in New Delhi, India by Ankit Aggarwal[1] with a vision to create a platform where "colleges and management students could interact, share and compete.”
The Advisory Board for the company includes Pravin Rajpal,[2] Global Innovation Thought Leader, FICCI, R. Y. Madkaikar,[3] Partner, Soloman Branding and Business Consulting[4] and Pankaj Jain,[5] Director & CEO, Finman Ventures Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
The venture has generated interest not just amongst users and their B-schools, but also in potential investors.,[6][7]
Features[edit]
Primarily an information bulletin board, it also provides a wide variety of services like online forum where students can discuss and debate on a range of subjects like marketing, finance, politics & the online quizzes.
Dare2compete.com replaced the conventional approach of downloading a quiz and then uploading the answers, instead it allows students to take the quiz online which can be attempted by students with a simple registration. The solutions are posted immediately after the quiz and results can be seen online in a couple of hours after the quiz. This platform is leveraged by colleges to conduct their quizzes and reach out to students across the country for a wide participation. Recently it has also organised online treasure hunts in collaboration with various B-schools.
Other features include the “classroom” where students can learn about cracking problems and conceptualizing solutions to cases. It is divided into “cracking the case” and “framework”. The former lists a step-by-step approach to various management solutions and has four categories — marketing, operations, human resources and strategies. Dare2compete also has a good collection of videos on several management concepts. The videos load fast and offer many interesting views.
Apart from these events Dare2Compete plans to launch its new programs namely Idea storm and jobs & Internships.[8]
