The competition aims to encourage and promote the development of high-quality, teaching case material relevant to the realities of the Indian economy, and at the same time promote the development of case-writing capabilities within authors based in the country. In addition to potential publication in the Scopus-indexed Emerging Markets Case Studies collection, participants will have the opportunity to win up to $1000 for their submission.

Award & publication

The total award prize fund is $2,000, including $1,000 for the winner. Prizes of $500 will be awarded to two runners-up.

Winners will be announced in January 2026. Please note that the prize will only be payable to the winning submissions if those submissions are successfully published. The decision to publish submissions will be made at our discretion and there may be occasions where we cannot publish a winning submission because of issues that arise during peer review or the revisions process.


Non-winning submissions will also be considered for publication, and we will be in touch with you should we wish to take your non-winning submission forward for publication in the Scopus-indexed Emerging Market Case Studies (EMCS) collection.
