Hi Pranav,
as you are trying to sharpen specific skills i would suggest you to focus only on Advanced cases. You really need to get out of your confort zone to improve your skills: you will benefit the most from cases you won't be able to solve at the first instance.
Based on your need, I would suggest you to start with the following cases from PrepLounge library:
- REA reinsurance
- Universal airlines
- OnlineGo
Please le me know if you need any further help on preparing on strategic/ quantitative cases. If you have already done all the cases here/ you find them to easy I could help you with some cases from my porsonal collection
Thanks,
Ale

Hello Pranav,
If you want to practice with both strategy and math, the best typology of cases to practice with is market sizing (that is also one of the most common).
Have a look to other case libraries, there are sources that are definetely better than PrepLounge for cases.
Best,
Luca

Hello!
On top of the library ones -that based on your answers, you have solved- I would recommend worknig with coaches who have developped ad-hoc cases regarding this skills. Even request someone to do one ad-hoc with this characteristics.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Clara
