Detailed Report

The Marketing Club of Lloyd Business School organized an intellectually engaging Debate Competition on December 4, 2024, under the guidance of Dr. Krity Gulati. The event aimed to inspire students to voice their opinions on contemporary marketing and business issues while strengthening their analytical and communication skills.

The session began with a warm welcome and an introduction to the rules and judging criteria. Students were grouped into teams and presented with thought-provoking topics related to marketing trends, consumer behavior, digital transformation, branding ethics, and competitive market strategies.

Each team debated by presenting strong arguments supported with evidence, case references, and logical reasoning. The rebuttal rounds further elevated the energy and depth of the discussions as participants countered opposing arguments with clarity and conviction.

The event concluded with feedback from the faculty coordinator and acknowledgment of the outstanding performers who demonstrated exceptional debating skills.
