MBA case prep eats time, not because the concepts are hard, but because finding fresh, relevant business news every single day is exhausting. Here is how someone like Karan Malhotra, an MBA student in Ahmedabad, handles it without spending two hours on news sites before class.
The Problem Every MBA Student Knows
Karan is in his first year. His professors drop case discussions with almost no warning. One morning it is the Jio vs Airtel pricing war. The next week it is a merger in the FMCG space or a budget announcement that shook the Sensex.
To sound sharp in class, you need to know what happened, why it matters, and what the numbers looked like. That means reading the Economic Times, Mint, Bloomberg Quint, and a few more, every single day, and somehow remembering all of it.
Most students do not keep up. Karan decided to stop trying to do it manually.
Three Steps, and He Was Done Setting It Up
Karan signed up at aidular.com for free. No credit card, no app to download. It works on any phone, including his mid-range Android.
Step 1: Sign up free. Takes about a minute.
Step 2: Type what to track, in plain English (or Hinglish). Karan typed something like this:
"Track top Indian business news for MBA case prep. Include Sensex and Nifty updates, major corporate deals, FMCG and startup news, any big government policy changes affecting business, and RBI decisions."
That is it. No coding, no filters to configure. Just plain English, like texting a friend.
Step 3: Pick a schedule. Karan chose daily. AIDular searches the web every day and sends a clean, sourced report to his inbox by morning IST, before his 9 AM class starts.
What the Report Actually Looks Like
It is not a wall of links. AIDular pulls the key stories, summarises each one in plain language, and cites the source so Karan can go deeper if a professor asks. He gets maybe five to eight items, each with enough context to actually use in a discussion.
On Union Budget days or when the RBI announces a rate decision, those stories land right at the top. During earnings season, he sees quarterly results for the companies his professors like to case-study, like Reliance, Tata Motors, or Zomato.
He is not just reading headlines. He is reading a brief that is already organised for someone who needs to walk into a classroom ready to talk.
Why This Angle Is Smarter Than Just "Reading the News"
Most news apps throw everything at you. Sports, entertainment, crime, politics. You have to filter it yourself, and that takes time you do not have between lectures, assignments, and mock interviews.
Karan's AIDular tracker is scoped exactly to what matters for his MBA. He is not reading about yesterday's cricket scores unless a company's stock moved because of a sponsorship deal. Every item in his report has a reason to be there.
He also added a second tracker for startup funding news specifically, because his elective is on entrepreneurship. Two trackers, both free on the Lite plan.
You Can Do This Too
If you are preparing for CAT, doing an MBA, or just want to follow Indian business news without drowning in it, the setup takes five minutes.
Go to aidular.com, sign up free (no credit card needed), type what you want to follow in plain English or Hinglish, and pick how often you want it. Your first report lands in your inbox before you know it.
No app, no subscription, cancel anytime. Give it a try and see if it changes how you walk into your next class.
