About IGTSWhere rational agents
Where rational agents
meet real decisions.
The Indian Game Theory Society at St. Stephen's College brings together students fascinated by strategy, incentives, and the logic behind decisions - from Nash equilibria to evolutionary dynamics.
We run lectures, simulations, and competitive events that make strategic thinking tangible. Theory is our foundation. Play is how we explore it.
