📌About the Event

NCDEX IPFT Hack the Risk 6.0 is a national-level case study competition designed to challenge students on risk management, creativity, market participation, and business strategy. Unlike a conventional price risk management contest, the 2026 edition asks participants to think beyond commodity derivatives and develop ideas that can increase participation, create impact, and identify new business opportunities for an exchange.
