NET ZERO TO NET HERO - CAN WE GROSS IT? is a two-part case that highlights the pressing need for businesses to move towards sustainable practices. This is particularly relevant in today's Climate Crisis environment, where governments and businesses need to work together at COP summits to lay out policy roadmaps. Paving the way for sustainability in a firm, is a multipronged approach with interlinkages to local as well as global policy directives and understanding this, through the context of what CII does, gives the bigger picture for any small, medium or large firm to strategically plan and communicate their approach to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as to be seen as clearly "walking the talk" when it comes to showcasing themselves as being oriented towards truly caring for the planet.

Supplement to cases IMB951 and IMB953. Transcript from the interview of IIMB Case Writer Ms. Jacqueline Gomes in conversation with Ms. Seema Arora, Deputy Director General, CII.
PrideBites is a case that highlights the entrepreneurial journey of four young graduates who witnessed the dearth of cheap, good quality, and customizable pet products in the market and decided to make these customizable pet products. These founders also had to seek funds to grow their business. The case walks readers through the decisions investors make and the roles of entrepreneurs in successfully getting funds from venture capitalists. This case also provides an opportunity for students to understand Mises and Rothbard's emergence and function of entrepreneurial profit and loss, and how this informs everyday business life and experiences. It presents rich material to understand that funding a venture is more a result of a negotiation process between the venture capital firm and the entrepreneurial firm and more an art than science.
Meesho is a three-part case that highlights the ups and downs, and the twists and turns, of a typical entrepreneurial journey. It follows the experiences and decisions of Vidit Aatrey and Sanjeev Barnwal, two IIT Delhi graduates, as they build their venture - Meesho. The idea that they begin with, morphs substantially as they go through the process of finding a product-market fit. Each time they face a hurdle, they dig deeper into the needs and challenges of their customers, until they arrive at what could potentially be product-market fit. Even then, they struggle to monetize and decide to pivot yet again, in order to unlock the value created by their venture. The case provides rich material to discuss the iterative, non-linear nature of venture building. It reinforces the importance of continuously measuring and responding to metrics.
