Two teams of students from the first-year and second-year MBA courses at Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) in Tiruchi have won top honours at the prestigious ‘Capsim Challenge’, in both the Foundation and Advanced-level competitions during Fall 2025.
The Capsim Challenge is a biannual business simulation competition for students, organised by the U.S.-based Capsim Management Solutions.
With this achievement, BIM has consistently won both competitions in Spring and Fall 2025, a rare accomplishment for any college globally in the 20 years of the competition, an official release from the institute said.
A team of final-year MBA students — T.R. Prasana Subramaniam, P. Yutesh, and R. Muthu Kumaran — secured first place globally in the Capsim Capstone 2.0 Fall 2025 Challenge.
In the Core category, first-year MBA students S. Vaithiyanathan, N. Shrie Sannith, and Khailaash Lakshminarasimhan claimed the top spot globally in the Capsim Core Fall 2025 Challenge, marking BIM’s third straight global win in the Core simulation. R. Subramanian mentored both teams.
This year, students from India, Canada, Israel, Thailand, and the U.S. competed in the final round. Other Indian business schools in the finals included SPJIMR, Mumbai, IIM Bangalore, and Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies.
BIM director Asit K. Barma congratulated the winners.
