The Great Indian Reviews Challenge — ₹2L Prize Pool for Students — Frequently Asked Questions

It is a consumer growth contest created by Rivyou and described as the first of its kind in India. Instead of analysing a made-up case, student teams study how people in the country decide what to buy, build a growth plan for Rivyou, and then test that plan on real customers using referral codes given to them.

Students in India. There is no mention of a restricted state, sector, course or institution, so participants from anywhere in the country can take part. It suits students with an interest in consumer behaviour, growth marketing, product strategy or entrepreneurship.

It is fully online. Teams can research, build their strategy and execute it remotely, so there is no requirement to travel.

The overall prize pool is ₹2,00,000. The winning team receives ₹50,000 in cash and, in addition, ₹1,00,000 to run its plan live alongside Rivyou's team. Runners-up receive further cash awards.

Yes. The competition is built around students working with a genuine budget to execute their ideas, which is what separates it from a conventional case competition. Separately, the ₹1,00,000 execution amount goes to the winning team so it can roll out its plan live with Rivyou's own team.
