To Enrich the knowledge of Army IBA students about case competition and about the Hult Prize, a training session, “Essential Elements of a Case Competition” was hosted on Oct 09,2020. MD Sohan Haider, Founder and CEO, Smartifier Academy, was the guest speaker at the training session. He is one of the emerging leaders of this generation. With impactful mentoring skills, MD Sohan Haider took that fruitful session where the students of Army IBA learned about how to generate an idea and implement the idea in a business model. The last advice MD Sohan Haider gave to the students is “Be Realistic and Acknowledge Environment Before Applying Ideas to Avoid Unexpected Outcomes.” After the basics of the case competition, the Army IBA students wanted to learn about Social Business, and they were curious about how social business actually works. 

As the students were excited, the Hult Prize at Army IBA arranged a session ‘Social Business.’ Iftekher Mahmud Maruf, Associate Consultant, ADE Management Consultant, took that interactive session to enrich the students' knowledge about Social Business. To see the sessions' impacts, the Hult Prize at Army IBA decided to bring an ‘Ideation challenge’ for the students to brainstorm and encourage them for the bigger challenge ahead. We hope this ideation the challenge will help them while making the solution for the on-campus round. Hult Prize takes place in 4 stages every year, and this time, the students' challenge is ‘Food for Good.’ Hult Prize at Army IBA hopes that the business enthusiast people of Army IBA would come up with the idea that will make an impact on society for good on the on-campus round.
