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
