Students decide.
The case responds.
Interactive caselets that put management students inside a real business decision, then show them what their choice sets in motion.

You are Zepto’s founder-CEO. Growth investors want you to keep spending to hold the top spot; the IPO bankers want a clean path to profit. How do you steer the venture from here?
Strong call, 10 points. You defend the category while showing a credible route to profit, so both meters rise. Next, the plastic-waste problem lands on your sustainability desk.
From a live caselet · options shortened for display
A caselet students play, not just read.
A traditional case ends where the real learning begins: at the decision. Decision Sims keep going. Every choice is graded on the spot and moves two live meters that pull against each other, so students feel the trade-off instead of debating it in the abstract.
Decisions have consequences
Growth against trust, delivery against cash. A right call can still cost something, exactly as it does in real management.
Grounded in Indian business
Each caselet is built on a real, recent Indian business story, with companies, markets and constraints students recognise.
Tied to your syllabus
Every decision maps to one named sub-topic in a specific unit, so a caselet slots straight into a session plan.
Four beats, one sitting.
Each caselet comes as two links: a practice run students can replay as often as they like, and an assessment run with one graded attempt. Use it in a lecture or lab slot, or let students complete it in their own time.
Set the scene
A short, real business situation with just enough detail to act on. No 20-page reading.
Make the call
One decision per subject, four believable options each. Options are shuffled on every attempt.
Live with it
Two meters move with every call and pull against each other, showing the consequence before the words do.
Debrief
Every choice is explained the moment it is made, and a closing debrief ties each call back to its concept.
Across the management core.
Single-subject caselets for focused practice, plus integrated caselets that ask students to reason across several subjects in one situation, the way real decisions arrive.
For undergraduate and postgraduate management programmes: BBA, BMS, MBA, PGDM, PGP and more.
Subjects
Integrated caselets
- One story, several subjects. In Zepto’s Dark Store Dilemma, entrepreneurship, environmental studies, databases, marketing and psychology meet in a single situation.
- Mapped to your programme’s semester or trimester subjects, unit by unit.
- Concepts do not repeat across caselets, so coverage stays broad and deliberate.
- Reviewed for conceptual accuracy against each sub-topic before release.
Your syllabus. Your caselets. Marks captured for you.
Decision Sims are built to improve student engagement and outcome attainment. Here is what every rollout brings, and who it helps.
Custom caselets for your programme
Tell us your programme, subjects and units, and we build integrated caselets around real, recent Indian business stories. Each one is reviewed for conceptual accuracy, co-branded with your institution alongside Stroban, and delivered on a schedule agreed with you, timed ahead of the units it supports.
- Share your syllabus and units
- We write and review the caselet
- You get a practice link and an assessment link
- Marks flow in as students finish
Marks, captured automatically
Every graded attempt lands in a Google Sheet we set up and maintain for your programme, with view access for your faculty. One sheet per programme, so records never mix, and every row shows the call each student made.

A live class leaderboard
Every graded submission updates the board, ready to put on the projector. Ranks bring a little healthy competition into the room, while practice runs stay private and never count.
Top 10 by default, or the whole class · places only, scores optional · each student’s best graded score

Past recall, into judgment.
Most end-of-unit questions check whether a student remembers a definition. A Stroban caselet asks what they would do with it: find the real problem in a live situation, weigh competing pressures, and commit to a call. That is the higher-order learning Bloom’s Taxonomy describes, and the kind an outcome-based syllabus ultimately asks for.
Bloom’s Taxonomy
revised levelsScoring rewards judgment, not just the textbook answer: a sensible real-world alternative earns credit, and a plausible trap is marked as one.
Evidence for NBA and accreditation
- Mapped to course outcomes. Each decision tests one named syllabus sub-topic, so it maps cleanly to a course outcome (CO) and on to your programme outcomes (POs).
- Direct assessment, with deterministic marking. Every student is marked on the same basis, and the call made on each decision is recorded alongside the score.
- Attainment by concept. See which concepts the batch has grasped and which it hasn’t, subject by subject. That is the raw material for CO attainment.
- Experiential, student-centric learning. A documented, technology-enabled method for the teaching-learning criteria that NBA and NAAC reviews look for.
Stroban supplies the instrument and the evidence. CO–PO mapping and attainment targets stay with your institution’s outcome-based education process.
See how the class actually reasoned.
Because every graded run records the call each student made, decision by decision, you don’t have to guess where students struggled. You walk into the debrief knowing which concepts the batch missed and which decisions split the room.
