The FedEx Express/ Junior Achievement International Trade Challenge is an excellent platform for students to understand International trade. The topic for this year’s competition was ‘To Introduce an Agricultural product in Nepal’. The regional level of the competition required the student teams to come up with creative ideas and market entry strategies and send in a written proposal with product description, target market, detailed pricing strategy and Marketing strategy.

Global Indian International School (GIIS) sent in 9 entries out of which two teams were selected. They are ‘The water Avengers’, S.N. Aditi and Arvind Alagappan and ‘Order and Chaos’ Shayan Rizvi and Aryan Kabra. The students made it to the top 10 finalists competing to represent Malaysia in the Asia Pacific Finals.

The Malaysian Finals were held in University Tunku Abdul Razak, Kuala Lumpur, UniRazak Kuala Lumpur in July 2017. The two teams were required to create a PowerPoint presentation to market their product to a panel of judges, following the presentation there was a Question round; where in the panel of judges asked the students critical question about their product, pricing and market entry plan.

Shayan Rizvi and Aryan Kabra were selected as the top three teams to represent Malaysia in the Fed Ex/ JA ITC challenge Asia Pacific Finals to be held in Singapore in August 2017.
