S23E19: BCG Case Interview – Solar Energy Revenue Decline
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ish Mawla ran a BCG case in front of a live audience. Real candidate, real pressure.
The case: a solar company in an emerging market watching its revenue fall while the broader market keeps growing. Aditya has to figure out why – and what to do about it.
Then Ish breaks down the whole thing – what Aditya did well and where he left points on the table.
Here's what stood out:
- Why your framework can work against you – and the one thing most candidates build in that they shouldn't
- How to read an exhibit under time pressure without glossing over the math that's sitting right in front of you
- What it takes to brainstorm boldly when the ask is doubling revenue, not incremental growth
