Artem Korolev told how to become the head of the company and choose the "right door"

How does success in CASE-IN help students become CEOs and how do they find the right door? Artem Korolev answers these and other important questions on his social media.

The CASE-IN championship website has updated the section with the stories of participants for whom winning the competition paved the way to a successful professional career. "For us, each participant is a person who chose engineering, took a risk and won. We are updating the stories to show that CASE-IN is not about "participated and forgot." It's about real career paths, about people who are building the future of the industry," said Artyom.

Also the founder of CASE-IN shared Three success stories that inspire him: 

- Nikita Lipnitsky– the first CASE-IN winner in 2013, is now the head of JSC Giprotsvetmet;

- Lyudmila Morshchakova, the winner of the CASE–IN-2023 in the field of Architecture, Design, Construction and Housing and Communal Services, managed to get an offer at Metropolis without completing an internship;

- Artyom Andreev, an IRNTU student, managed to win awards in two directions at once: the winner in the direction of "Project Engineering" (2024) and the winner in the direction of "Oil Refining and Petrochemistry" (2025).

In another publication, Artem Korolev proposed The audience should simulate a television game: "There are three closed doors in front of you. Behind one of them is a Ferrari. Behind the other two are a bunch of bananas. You choose one door, for example, No. 1. The presenter, who knows what is behind each door, opens one of the two remaining doors, for example No. 3, and shows that there are bananas behind it. Now there are two closed doors in front of you: the one you chose first, and another one that the presenter did not open. The presenter offers one last chance to change the decision. What will you do: stay at the first choice or choose another door?"

Then the Director of the Reliable Change Foundation shared the correct answer and the logic of choosing this game: "It seems to me that we now live in a time when it is important for almost every manager, project leader, and entrepreneur to be prepared to choose a "different door." Previously, it was possible to expect that if a project, business, or familiar work model was already somehow built, then they would continue to work in much the same way. But that's not always the case today. Conditions, partners, markets, people's expectations, technologies, and rules of the game are changing. And in such a situation, it's dangerous to just stand at your first door and hope that there will definitely be a prize behind it."

Artem He told me how MTS Link allowed the CASE-IN championship to see new opportunities in a pandemic.  "In 2020, we, like the rest of the world, are faced with a global problem: everything has stopped. But they did not abandon the championship. We started looking for opportunities for remote conducting," recalls Artyom Korolev. – And MTS Link came to the rescue. We chose this platform deliberately: Russian software, stable connection, 24/7 Russian-language support. And they were not mistaken. Since then, MTS Link has become our main tool. Now there are lectures, master classes, qualifying stages and even semi-finals. For all this time, we have already held more than 2500 events in a remote format. And we are not limited to Russia – the CIS and BRICS Leagues also work through this platform."
