What it is Scribblepad is a business simulation competition hosted by Masters' Union School of Business, designed to put participants in the driver's seat of a live, simulated company. Rather than asking students to analyse a case study, Scribblepad asks them to actually run a business - making real-time decisions on pricing, product, hiring, and capital allocation, and watching how the market responds to each call.
Who it's for The competition is open to undergraduate students currently enrolled at select premier Indian institutes, including IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Roorkee, BHU Varanasi, ISM Dhanbad, Bhubaneswar, Gandhinagar, Hyderabad, Indore, Jodhpur, Mandi, Patna, Ropar), NITs (Calicut, Durgapur, Rourkela, Surathkal, Tiruchirappalli, Warangal), IIITs (Hyderabad, Delhi, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar), BITS (Goa, Hyderabad), and others such as SRCC, BIT Mesra, Thapar Institute, and PEC. Students from any discipline can participate - no prior business background is required. Enrolment is verified through college ID or institute email.
