Full-time internship opportunity

• Some of the top-performing students will be eligible for a full-time internship and/or a job opportunity at Decathlon Sports India.
• Decathlon Sports India has the right to not select any student for the internship or offer a full-time job if they do not find any student of a suitable calibre.

Problem statement

As part of the internship, you are tasked with brainstorming Innovative Ideas for Decathlon to explore and potentially Implement by the year 2030.

Students are encouraged to think creatively and expansively, not just within the realm of sports, but also in various areas such as sustainability, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, personalised products and services, community-building, health and wellness, urban mobility, gamification, innovative store formats, and cross-industry collaborations.

The goal is to generate forward-thinking concepts that could help Decathlon stay ahead of the curve and continue to meet the evolving needs and preferences of its customers.

While students have the freedom to choose your own problem statement, it's important to consider a few must-haves before finalising on one. These critical factors can help ensure that your problem statement is well-defined, relevant, and impactful:

• A clearly defined problem: Ensure that the problem statement clearly defines the issue that you aim to address.
• Relevance to Decathlon: Consider how the problem statement relates to Decathlon's mission, values, and business goals.
• Feasibility: Ensure that the problem statement is feasible and realistic.
• Impact: Consider the potential impact of the solution on various stakeholders and the broader society.

Timeline
