The Google Bangalore team conducted the Google Challenge 2009 @ IIM, Bangalore (Product Management Workshop and Idea/Concept presentation competition) on 18th january 2009, in which the topic given was:
"Promoting Internet using Television Mass Media"
The first set of 55 teams were filtered to choose the final 20 (we got into Round 2) and among them 4 were selected for Round 3 by a team of Google Product Managers (we did not get selected into this round) – after this a democratic voting got the top 3 teams the final positions. Overall a pretty competitive round; key takeaways include: work withing constraints, and go for a data driven approach during presentations.
