2nd place statement “We are delighted to win this prestigious award. The competition enables the development of high-quality teaching cases with a focus on emerging markets. The purpose of this case study is to help students understand what it takes for an emerging market startup to succeed in developing economies. Kavak, a Mexican used-car platform reshaped the mobility sector in the Latin American and Middle Eastern regions with its unique value propositions and a successful global expansion strategy. The case explores the business model of Kavak, the reasons behind its success and the key challenges it faced in the fragmented global pre-owned car market.”
