Have you come up with something that truly excites you? One in which you have everlasting faith? What kind of transformation could you imagine? Participate in the Tata Imagination Challenge 2022 if this sounds like your cup of tea.

About TATA Imagination Challenge 2022

In the Tata Imagination Challenge 2022, college students from all over India and Tata employees from anywhere in the world are asked to share a good idea with us. Whether your idea can save the rainforest or make learning more fun, rethink a child’s toy or take a business in a new direction, use your imagination to explore the possibilities, find a problem, and tell us how you would solve it.

Unlock the chances we have now and give us an idea of what to do in the future.

TCS #JustALittleChange

The biggest ideas competition in India is open to all college students in the country (student track) and all Tata group employees around the world (Tata track) (in-house track).

We’re open to all ideas that fit with the Tata way of life. Your idea can come from any field, including technology, sustainability, the sciences, economics, social change, design, the arts, global issues, entrepreneurship, healthcare, and more.

The 13 winners (10 from the student track and 3 from the in-house track) will each get Rs 2.00 lakh in cash and a bunch of other prizes. They will also be able to get into TAS selections faster (subject to TAS eligibility). Winners also get to go on a unique Tata Trail, which includes visits to well-known Tata companies and institutions. This gives them a chance to see how we work and what we want to do. Details about how to join are listed below.

The Rounds:

Treasure Hunt

Online Treasure Hunts that map the Tata universe are a good way to get ready for a competition.

(This isn’t the first round.)

Round 1: Stories about Tata Brands

How well-known are the Tata brands to you? Answer 20 multiple choice questions about Tata companies, brands, and stories in 30 minutes to see how much you know about them.

Round 2: Testing with games or Gamified Assessment

If you qualify, you move on to the next round, where you take a fun and interactive 30-minute game-based test.

Third round: video pitch

Send us a two-minute video pitch for your idea that describes the problem you want to solve and how your idea would do that. The videos should be shot with the person in front of the camera, saved in.MP4 format, and be less than 10 MB in size. At https://www.ps2pdf.com/compress-mp4, you can change and shrink your videos.

Also, answer three questions about your idea in a way that doesn’t require you to be there.

Idea Buddy Phase

You are not alone on this journey! After Round 3, each candidate still in the running will be paired with a young Tata leader. Your “Idea Buddy” will help you work on and improve your next presentation.

Round 4: The End

Here, you and your idea are in the spotlight. Finalists will give a “Elevator Pitch” of their idea and a “Personal Pitch” about their life and career goals to a panel of senior Tata leaders. Depending on the situation, this can be done in person or online.
