  7. 0:48Do you think you can defeat us with this
  8. 0:58>> [music]
  9. 1:06>> evaluator perspective. Uh it's not about
  10. 1:09how the prototype is working.

  13. 1:22Hi everyone, I'm Deepipika from Codent
  14. 1:24Academy. So I'm a 2024 Smart India
  15. 1:27hackathon winner. So smart hackathon
  16. 1:30seasons
  17. 1:44and cons
  18. 1:51global hackathon winner 2022 smart India
  19. 1:54hackathon champion three times SH
  20. 1:56evaluator 23 24 and 25,000 plus national
  21. 2:00hackathon winners
  22. 2:02and 25,000 plus students mentor. He is
  23. 2:06none other than our founder of code
  24. 2:08academy.
  25. 2:10Welcome.
  26. 2:12Hi, it's my absolute pleasure and I
  27. 2:15think the podcast
  28. 2:18and a host who herself is a smart
  29. 2:20winner.
  30. 2:23So yeah, I'm ready.
  31. 2:32>> [music]
  32. 2:42>> Okay.
  33. 2:49So
  34. 2:51students
  35. 2:53so what is your take on this?
  36. 2:55>> Okay. So I think most important question
  37. 3:09or simple examp
  38. 3:44You have to keep it planned.
  39. 4:03and structured, patient and consistency
  40. 4:08in our perspective
  41. 4:10computer science students
  42. 4:17I think we are back three four years
  43. 4:19absolutely
  44. 4:25so what's more important idea correct
  45. 4:28>> and the idea problem solve
  46. 4:30and the problem.
  47. 4:38Okay.
  48. 4:44So anyone can participate and
  49. 4:49department. So and across college
  50. 4:54student
  51. 4:57civil student
  52. 5:00and it's not just about engineering art
  53. 5:02students
  54. 5:08right everyone can have an idea so wrong
  55. 5:10perception
  56. 5:14and I
  57. 5:27So I think
  58. 5:34very nice perspective actually
  59. 5:40it's a very good perspective actually.
  60. 5:42So next moving on. So,
  61. 5:46SP registration,
  62. 5:49college registration
  63. 6:09question last
  64. 6:19Spark registration
  65. 6:24registration
  66. 6:28single point of contact basically
  67. 6:34department
  68. 6:38but official register
  69. 6:42Only then you can participate. Okay.
  70. 7:05mainly colleges. I feel that students
  71. 7:08has to take the responsibility college
  72. 7:11to make sure they register as a SP.
  73. 7:27Yeah, I think SPC doubts I think I
  74. 7:31cleared it.
  75. 7:32>> Okay guys, SPC registration is very
  76. 7:34must. So
  77. 7:37okay
  78. 7:39students
  79. 7:43so what is the team size? Is there any
  80. 7:45particular restrictions?
  81. 7:49Yeah. So normally smart
  82. 7:53six members max
  83. 7:56eligibility students count
  84. 8:17it's on your hands. Okay. So in the team
  85. 8:19formation one of the major role is at
  86. 8:21least one girl has to be there.
  87. 8:28So basically team particip
  88. 8:34and normally all girls team are allowed.
  89. 8:36So six girls
  90. 8:42at least one girl has to be
  91. 8:45and in the six members are always
  92. 8:48crucial or team formation team eligility
  93. 8:51and short list
  94. 9:01and at least five people have to be
  95. 9:02there in the final
  96. 9:06So keep that in mind.
  97. 9:12Okay.
  98. 9:23strategy
  99. 9:30driving.
  100. 9:35So what's your take on this? So I think
  101. 9:38one of the most asked question
  102. 9:48and fear of failure.
  103. 9:51So to participate
  104. 9:54so six member team we had two girls and
  105. 9:56four boys. So combination so that they
  106. 9:59are also comfortable overall team
  107. 10:07form
  108. 10:09skill is second first is coordination I
  109. 10:13have seen
  110. 10:16last developer
  111. 10:37and by the meantime I've seen teams
  112. 10:49more powerful. Okay, first thing is
  113. 10:51learning. Okay,
  114. 10:56I lost my first three
  115. 11:05and different teams. Okay. Okay.
  116. 11:12Right. I learned from those mistakes.
  117. 11:18Fear of failure.
  118. 11:34You just get into hackathon
  119. 11:39and hackathon is not just coding and
  120. 11:41building a product
  121. 11:44leadership.
  122. 11:53I think team formation is more about
  123. 11:56coordination and working interest skills
  124. 12:01will go on its way. I think. Yeah. Okay.
  125. 12:09Write problem statement
  126. 12:14problem.
  127. 12:31Open
  128. 12:32problem statement. So in the open
  129. 12:35problem statement
  130. 12:37problem
  131. 12:48for like next three months
  132. 12:53a right problem statement is very
  133. 12:54important. So right problem statements.
  134. 12:59Yeah, I think uh most of it problem.
  135. 13:05So the main thing problem statement
  136. 13:06selection
  137. 13:08most
  138. 13:29when you know your team skills Right.
  139. 13:41There are ideas
  140. 13:4416 170
  141. 13:48submissions. Basically problem statement
  142. 13:51500 submissions.
  143. 13:57So 500 max 160 problem statements more
  144. 14:01than 120 problem statements.
  145. 14:06So tough problem statement, easy problem
  146. 14:09statement
  147. 14:12and
  148. 14:15I have seen teams present
  149. 14:26and compet
  150. 14:28so they will be losing that. I have seen
  151. 14:30many teams like that simple ide
  152. 14:42based on just okayist
  153. 15:02basically simple
  154. 15:18but not about pitching later part of
  155. 15:22session but I think this is what we have
  156. 15:25to focus while selecting on the problem
  157. 15:27statement not just is it easy or hard
  158. 15:33it has higher chance for taking you to
  159. 15:35the next level
  160. 15:36>> and also
  161. 15:45problem statement
  162. 15:54from what you have told. Yeah, I think
  163. 15:56it's
  164. 16:04paying for posting my problem statement.
  165. 16:11Why should I announce
  166. 16:12perspective for student perspective?
  167. 16:21Two teams more
  168. 16:26zero winners.
  169. 16:28Zero winners,
  170. 16:32zero fin2.
  171. 16:35We had around 500 600 problem statements
  172. 16:37hard around 200 plus problem statements.
  173. 16:40Zero finalists
  174. 16:43and most of it were extremely complex
  175. 16:48deep problem statements problem
  176. 16:51statements had zero finalists
  177. 16:54problem statement was an extremely hard
  178. 16:56one alternative but we knew we could
  179. 16:58build it somehow we took it we had
  180. 17:02minimal submissions around I think
  181. 17:04problem statement 500 submission they
  182. 17:06had around 92 something
  183. 17:12but I think we shouldn't expect that
  184. 17:14every problem statement is going to have
  185. 17:16a winner or every problem statement is
  186. 17:17going to have a finalist so simple logic
  187. 17:20and the problem
  188. 17:24finational
  189. 17:37so
  190. 17:49and I think
  191. 17:52three hackathon failures
  192. 17:56I think it's a very good question to ask
  193. 17:57and the failures
  194. 18:01so first thing smart 2020
  195. 18:05smart
  196. 18:07people
  197. 18:18as I became an eved
  198. 18:33for the finals. Okay.
  199. 18:37template.
  200. 18:39Oh, so my didn't make me aware.
  201. 18:44So this is one major mistake I learned.
  202. 18:46So
  203. 18:49template template.
  204. 19:04Okay.
  205. 19:10Second thing, TNSA 2020
  206. 19:13is basically students.
  207. 19:19I want every one of you to check that.
  208. 19:24Okay.
  209. 19:38problem
  210. 19:44over features. Okay.
  211. 19:58Realization, right? So don't over
  212. 20:03basically
  213. 20:05prototype.
  214. 20:10Third thing
  215. 20:14we got short listed for top 50 worldwide
  216. 20:17teams worldwide top 50
  217. 20:22top 15 short list US finals.
  218. 20:26>> Okay. So we built basically a car voice
  219. 20:29assistant. So 128 languages
  220. 20:54one point difference we couldn't get
  221. 20:55into the finals.
  222. 21:06Okay.
  223. 21:08So
  224. 21:11better research
  225. 21:16problem.
  226. 21:18So I felt that
  227. 21:25okay if I had spent even more time on
  228. 21:27the research.
  229. 21:35So
  230. 21:38if you know official for make sure
  231. 21:43and problem understand
  232. 21:55made sure that I won seven hackathons
  233. 21:57backto back state national including
  234. 22:00smart hackathon 2022
  235. 22:04stage I think These three failures
  236. 22:06taught me a lot.
  237. 22:12It was fire.
  238. 22:15It's not just about building.
  239. 22:39Yep. Very nice smooth transition.
  240. 22:47So and also apart from this
  241. 22:54it's not a small
  242. 22:56huge thing to do. Okay. [snorts]
  243. 23:02So coming back to smart India hackathon
  244. 23:05again next step the internal hackathon.
  245. 23:07So in the internal
  246. 23:22access
  247. 23:24team
  248. 23:30which means that intern
  249. 23:43problem.
  250. 23:55Yeah. So I think
  251. 24:04I think
  252. 24:08top
  253. 24:14So students
  254. 24:27top 45 teams and five weight list.
  255. 24:35So last years maybe
  256. 24:4750% prototype
  257. 24:52expect.
  258. 24:58>> So the goal is don't just focus on the
  259. 25:00prototype. So
  260. 25:03import
  261. 25:06down to 20 to 30%
  262. 25:12request
  263. 25:15all about prototype.
  264. 25:25Build this product for me.
  265. 25:33This is first thing. Second thing is
  266. 25:36full architecture.
  267. 25:55It can collapse anytime. Correct.
  268. 25:58we can't say
  269. 26:04right.
  270. 26:07So for the internal hackathon focus on
  271. 26:10system design product architecture.
  272. 26:13Third thing presentation
  273. 26:40college and
  274. 26:44It was a hackathon.
  275. 26:55Okay.
  276. 27:00They have no idea. Okay.
  277. 27:05Right.
  278. 27:10It's okay to be 50%
  279. 27:13but
  280. 27:15right absolutely
  281. 27:16>> so this is what evaluators will expect
  282. 27:21mostly teachers
  283. 27:23they bring experts for eval
  284. 27:29It's a psychological game.
  285. 27:37Okay. So as simple as possible.
  286. 27:46So you have to plan more for how you are
  287. 27:48conveying about your product. Right.
  288. 27:53Confidence. proper prototype, proper
  289. 27:55structure.
  290. 27:57Negatives.
  291. 27:59So these are all all things will make a
  292. 28:02proper game play, not just prototype.
  293. 28:09So yeah, so it's all about the right
  294. 28:11idea. It's not about
  295. 28:20Yeah,
  296. 28:25let's
  297. 28:31So what's the next step?
  298. 28:39And it also ask for increder
  299. 29:17elimination.
  300. 29:19Correct. Correct. Problem statement.
  301. 29:22Normally they have three evaluators.
  302. 29:24Evaluator will be bringing that down
  303. 29:26from 500 to 250. 250 to 100.
  304. 29:31He will be shortlisting.
  305. 29:40First thing official for
  306. 30:02right so don't modify the template Okay.
  307. 30:20With having so many tools that can make
  308. 30:22it better
  309. 30:30and it should be powerful. This is my
  310. 30:32productive
  311. 30:39onetop network authentication system. So
  312. 30:44it adds more value. Okay.
  313. 30:50It doesn't make sense. So make sure your
  314. 30:53PP conveys.
  315. 30:56This is first thing. Second thing video
  316. 30:58link additional documents and video
  317. 31:00link.
  318. 31:03Okay.
  319. 31:12Normally partners with TCS mostly they
  320. 31:16have an evaluation channel. Okay.
  321. 31:21And
  322. 31:24so they barely spend 3 minutes to 5
  323. 31:26minutes.
  324. 31:33Okay.
  325. 31:37Depends on the Okay.
  326. 31:45But having a video is always an
  327. 31:47advantage.
  328. 31:48structured
  329. 31:57and 2 minutes max.
  330. 32:06Oh my god.
  331. 32:12So that adds value
  332. 32:16and add models to market strategy
  333. 32:23gives an overall package.
  334. 32:27Okay.
  335. 32:34Okay. Okay.
  336. 32:36shortly and the thing is
  337. 32:40last year
  338. 32:47I'll make sure that
  339. 32:57okay no matter how much you request you
  340. 32:58cannot submit again right
  341. 33:02so make sure
  342. 33:05mm Okay. Okay. And college management
  343. 33:08has to pressure the students and
  344. 33:13so I think this is what with respect to
  345. 33:15eval
  346. 33:22super nice okay
  347. 33:30next
  348. 33:34Top five team
  349. 33:46days
  350. 33:51across India 40 to 50 locations and
  351. 33:54different states.
  352. 34:03So also
  353. 34:09transport.
  354. 34:14So
  355. 34:162022
  356. 34:26I top topd
  357. 34:49Yeah. Okay. I think
  358. 34:54so I think
  359. 34:58so main thing finals. So Delhi finals
  360. 35:03end part of the story.
  361. 35:10Okay. Short snaps. Okay. January 2022
  362. 35:23Smart India
  363. 35:252022 January problem. So we took one of
  364. 35:28the hardest problem statement OTP
  365. 35:30alternative OT one time handshake.
  366. 35:34So basically problem statement low
  367. 35:53and two girls we got in our team. Okay.
  368. 35:56So super
  369. 36:06Not 45.
  370. 36:09It was the highest participated
  371. 36:10hackathon 75.
  372. 36:19So finals
  373. 36:26ideafation
  374. 36:51There was a horrific incident in UP.
  375. 36:53Okay.
  376. 37:00The mother is blind. Okay. The girl was
  377. 37:02being harassed and murdered by four
  378. 37:04goons.
  379. 37:07So she has been harassed and she has
  380. 37:10been murdered. Okay. So
  381. 37:14what happened? The police burned the
  382. 37:17body of the girl and
  383. 37:20because these four were politically
  384. 37:23powerful people. Okay. So the
  385. 37:25politically powerful people
  386. 37:30the public beat them up and
  387. 37:36I felt I think the public has more power
  388. 37:38certain times. Right.
  389. 37:42Correct.
  390. 37:50[snorts]
  391. 37:52So public.
  392. 38:08She has to tap on SOS.
  393. 38:24roughly 10 to 15 minutes
  394. 38:27and that 15 minutes the most precious
  395. 38:30time of the girls fight right and in the
  396. 38:3215 minutes
  397. 38:34we brought it down to 250 milliseconds
  398. 38:36faster than a blink of an eye concept
  399. 38:39octus
  400. 38:43means
  401. 38:45protecting protecting us across all
  402. 38:49so people around the world will be
  403. 38:50alerted not just the police
  404. 38:58Okay.
  405. 39:17Okay.
  406. 39:21I boarded my juniors in my team. So one
  407. 39:24is one is and is my co-founder now
  408. 39:28both of us have been doing it together
  409. 39:30and the journey started okay and best
  410. 39:33friends ex best friends basically
  411. 39:36they also registered for they got
  412. 39:38eliminated in the first round
  413. 39:41we ended up winning
  414. 39:47it's more about business pitch
  415. 39:48strategical stuff business modelafety
  416. 39:53business
  417. 40:03We ended up winning. So in the one month
  418. 40:06I was not in college
  419. 40:16and all this happens in one month, one
  420. 40:18to two months.
  421. 40:23So remember the timeline
  422. 40:28May 15. Congratulations.
  423. 40:39Okay.
  424. 40:42Okay.
  425. 40:45Because they planned a celebration.
  426. 40:50They thought that
  427. 40:55ego.
  428. 40:57They understood that
  429. 41:04and he's not a good guy.
  430. 41:18Oh, so okay fine. But we won.
  431. 41:30Okay. Okay. Okay. July 14.
  432. 41:47Sorry. Not reachable. Not available.
  433. 41:52I'm happy.
  434. 42:00Next day my dad met with an accident.
  435. 42:02Okay.
  436. 42:04I had to be with him for 15 days. July
  437. 42:0714th.
  438. 42:12Okay.
  439. 42:18And we were like, "Okay,
  440. 42:32then
  441. 42:35last."
  442. 42:37So after that I was like, "Okay."
  443. 42:46biggest
  444. 42:51they gave an option where each team can
  445. 42:53replace with three new members.
  446. 42:54>> Wow. Okay.
  447. 43:02Fresh team.
  448. 43:03>> Super hurdle one.
  449. 43:06Hurdle two. Okay.
  450. 43:09One week before the finals,
  451. 43:18they have destroyed the whole server.
  452. 43:22One week before the finals and
  453. 43:28they destroyed the whole code base one
  454. 43:30week before finals.
  455. 43:35Okay. So
  456. 43:39third thing in the financial support
  457. 43:44no one was there to help
  458. 43:47the fact that I was not in very good
  459. 43:48terms with my college
  460. 43:52and I'm a university
  461. 44:00these guys are on good terms
  462. 44:05Every team normally has two mentors.
  463. 44:11So
  464. 44:16basically
  465. 44:19it's like okay
  466. 44:21they were like
  467. 44:25sorry
  468. 44:28I don't want to stress them lotangal
  469. 44:47software engineers.
  470. 44:5836 hours. And normally
  471. 45:11reputation always maintain.
  472. 45:15So 36
  473. 45:23along with my story mistakes and
  474. 45:25learnings so that it will be helpful.
  475. 45:30So first thing first
  476. 45:44security
  477. 45:52okay fine what to do now Okay.
  478. 46:0625 to 30 minutes.
  479. 46:10Okay. Something is wrong.
  480. 46:14I think it was a strategical move that
  481. 46:20I score. So first round 50 points they
  482. 46:23were at 45. Okay first roundal
  483. 46:27score
  484. 46:2950 45
  485. 46:32what would have been the score for our
  486. 46:33team at least 25 to 30 close 21.
  487. 46:40Okay. So basically done for you know
  488. 46:44basically okay. So 20 hours 36.
  489. 46:52So after that we were like
  490. 46:59hey
  491. 47:03absolutely I totally agree with
  492. 47:09Okay. So first
  493. 47:29it's basically USSD
  494. 47:46We had to sit down
  495. 47:51and we came to know that
  496. 47:58okay we were students we can't do
  497. 48:05serviceapver
  498. 48:11So
  499. 48:16They were stunned hearing the idea but
  500. 48:30okay fine Overall
  501. 48:42full of strategies.
  502. 49:04So, but that was a peak work thing.
  503. 49:07Okay. We built the product.
  504. 49:11We just took a photo.
  505. 49:15We took a photo
  506. 49:21but we had that mindset
  507. 49:34even
  508. 49:40they were stunned.
  509. 49:50Both of us had Indian bank without
  510. 49:53internet.
  511. 49:56Seriously. Yeah. And why bank
  512. 49:58transaction? Bank
  513. 50:01right.
  514. 50:02Of course.
  515. 50:09And one more thing
  516. 50:19we started explaining from the harder
  517. 50:21features.
  518. 50:23So
  519. 50:24presentation 1 hour
  520. 50:30you have to know what you're going to
  521. 50:31say to problem.
  522. 50:47So
  523. 50:50basically
  524. 50:52so they had an assumption that we don't
  525. 50:54know Hindi
  526. 51:04I could have gone and confronted
  527. 51:10you sitting like Yes,
  528. 51:38they assume that we still working on QR.
  529. 51:40Okay.
  530. 51:41They were so overconfident. They were
  531. 51:43about to win, right? Final announcement.
  532. 52:08college friends, parents.
  533. 52:19Anyway, we know who is going to win.
  534. 52:21Tell me your idea.
  535. 52:23It's like a QR thing. Do you think you
  536. 52:27can defeat us with this
  537. 52:29And I was like,
  538. 52:43so I was like, okay.
  539. 52:49So I was like, okay.
  540. 52:53result announcement.
  541. 52:55The problem the problem statement and
  542. 52:57the winner of the problem statement
  543. 53:18and I told one thing to my team. If we
  544. 53:20win,
  545. 53:24we should never show that we struggle to
  546. 53:26win.
  547. 53:31More than 5 minutes of applause
  548. 53:35and
  549. 53:38non-stop
  550. 53:40unbelievable. We never expected
  551. 53:46they couldn't see.
  552. 53:52Yeah. So what is your real
  553. 53:58you know Hindi? I didn't tell I don't
  554. 54:00know. [laughter]
  555. 54:02in the SIS journey taught me a lot
  556. 54:10and
  557. 54:29you would have had a different set of
  558. 54:30struggles, right? Okay.
  559. 54:41I want to hear from you now 2024 when
  560. 54:45you won. I think already the internal
  561. 54:48was a big hurdle for you. 2,000 students
  562. 54:502,000 teams.
  563. 54:54So I want to know how you took forward
  564. 54:57the process. 200 is not a joke.
  565. 55:04I
  566. 55:11definitely untold hurdles I want to hear
  567. 55:14that from you now. Sure. Okay.
  568. 55:20different story because
  569. 55:42super
  570. 55:50I feel the importance of
  571. 56:02happy that colleges are stepping up.
  572. 56:04Yeah, of course.
  573. 56:06I'm very grateful. So
  574. 56:09second
  575. 56:15year
  576. 56:18driving
  577. 56:35department. Department
  578. 56:50I was completely honest.
  579. 57:02So hackathon
  580. 57:07fellow college students.
  581. 57:27Okay.
  582. 57:38participate.
  583. 57:56Problem statement, disaster management
  584. 57:58system,
  585. 58:00dis
  586. 58:09offices
  587. 58:15response
  588. 58:18quickware.
  589. 58:30It's not
  590. 58:36it's always backed by software righty
  591. 58:41product. Hybrid formal
  592. 58:53mentorship.
  593. 59:12First barrier, language barrier. Okay.
  594. 59:34hardware.
  595. 59:50So
  596. 59:59nonfunctional requirements
  597. 1:00:10expectations
  598. 1:00:11expectations.
  599. 1:00:15So apart from that
  600. 1:00:19second
  601. 1:00:24apart from this addition
  602. 1:00:44but I I don't believe in that.
  603. 1:01:03Because
  604. 1:01:07they lose their lives like
  605. 1:01:23so when it when a software solution can
  606. 1:01:26impact lives. Why not building one
  607. 1:01:36additional improvements
  608. 1:01:40and
  609. 1:01:41despite of language barriers?
  610. 1:01:54Oh
  611. 1:02:06final result
  612. 1:02:14one thing we made sure is that
  613. 1:02:23Even
  614. 1:02:31relax.
  615. 1:02:43Morning.
  616. 1:02:48Mhm.
  617. 1:02:52[laughter]
  618. 1:02:56High alert
  619. 1:02:58disaster
  620. 1:03:01like high priority
  621. 1:03:03indicate
  622. 1:03:13[laughter]
  623. 1:03:18[laughter and gasps]
  624. 1:03:25stage.
  625. 1:03:27So not like
  626. 1:03:33so
  627. 1:03:38okay
  628. 1:03:44the clear winner
  629. 1:03:515000
  630. 1:03:537500
  631. 1:03:56clear winner
  632. 1:04:00happy. So finally
  633. 1:04:13this is the moment.
  634. 1:04:16So I I can't even like forget that day.
  635. 1:04:21I think it's like more than just a
  636. 1:04:23hackathon.
  637. 1:04:29people understand
  638. 1:04:35we are here and yeah happy. Yeah
  639. 1:04:37seriously
  640. 1:04:39problem statement.
  641. 1:04:47Okay. Tamil can produce like smarters.
  642. 1:04:55I felt really happy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
  643. 1:04:57And I think like
  644. 1:04:59participation
  645. 1:05:07super happy and mentorship sessions like
  646. 1:05:102024 mentorship
  647. 1:05:14last year more than 60% of it were teams
  648. 1:05:17and college events
  649. 1:05:21everything has been that impact and the
  650. 1:05:23mentorship we got featured on time
  651. 1:05:25square twice as India's number one
  652. 1:05:27hackathon.
  653. 1:05:27>> Yeah, it's a huge thing. Time square not
  654. 1:05:31once but twice bro. Such a great thing
  655. 1:05:34bro.
  656. 1:05:35>> So yeah I think I think we had a lot of
  657. 1:05:38value in this session and I think top
  658. 1:05:40two questions most asked maybe like
  659. 1:05:44questions
  660. 1:05:47important questions perspective
  661. 1:05:49questions I think we can go ahead and we
  662. 1:05:53can complete. Sorry, I think podcast
  663. 1:05:56I think we have given most of the value.
  664. 1:05:58So yeah, I think
  665. 1:06:10three times eval.
  666. 1:06:22Okay. So most asked questions
  667. 1:06:40first most asked question. Uh actually
  668. 1:06:44most realistic scenario
  669. 1:07:02okay and who face it well
  670. 1:07:07it happens things get broken
  671. 1:07:11prevention is better than
  672. 1:07:14what I would suggest before this and
  673. 1:07:16after this scenario. First thing video.
  674. 1:07:20Okay.
  675. 1:07:31It's always good to have a backup,
  676. 1:07:32right?
  677. 1:07:48Okay.
  678. 1:07:52But we had a video demo.
  679. 1:07:55That's why we want the best ide.
  680. 1:07:58>> So it's always good to have a video.
  681. 1:08:02Being honest. Okay.
  682. 1:08:10So
  683. 1:08:19just a minute by the time system
  684. 1:08:22I don't want to take a lot of time
  685. 1:08:26working like that
  686. 1:08:29but this is how it works by the meime if
  687. 1:08:32you are able to get things up and
  688. 1:08:34specific fine
  689. 1:08:38Second, third thing knowing your
  690. 1:08:41negatives.
  691. 1:08:55Okay.
  692. 1:09:02So, know your negatives.
  693. 1:09:03>> Okay.
  694. 1:09:07interview.
  695. 1:09:26So keep it proactive.
  696. 1:09:29It is normal.
  697. 1:09:34scenario but handling it with confidence
  698. 1:09:37with focus and with the demo is what is
  699. 1:09:40going to have a better impact and I
  700. 1:09:42think is the best way to handle
  701. 1:09:45correct
  702. 1:09:52this is how it was working
  703. 1:09:56by the mech diagram ready to
  704. 1:10:02So you have an answer before they have
  705. 1:10:04multiple questions.
  706. 1:10:11Correct. Correct.
  707. 1:10:12>> And we should control
  708. 1:10:16the whole eval.
  709. 1:10:20So that's that's happy.
  710. 1:10:26Absolutely. Absolutely. So next most
  711. 1:10:28asked question is that
  712. 1:10:31AI AI AI AI has become a buzz word so
  713. 1:10:39pros and cons so how is how it's going
  714. 1:10:42to impact the entire hackathon so what's
  715. 1:10:45your take actually
  716. 1:10:59first AI powered marketing system
  717. 1:11:03management system
  718. 1:11:05that
  719. 1:11:08major scenario shift. Second thing
  720. 1:11:16full
  721. 1:11:19days,
  722. 1:11:22right?
  723. 1:11:30Correct.
  724. 1:11:49and recent
  725. 1:11:55when I ask one question they are not
  726. 1:11:56able to answer because they don't know
  727. 1:11:58what they have built.
  728. 1:11:59>> Okay. Okay. So,
  729. 1:12:09right. It's about structured coding and
  730. 1:12:17presentation
  731. 1:12:24I think
  732. 1:12:30just for visual presentations
  733. 1:12:40locality
  734. 1:12:44Also research
  735. 1:13:03Right.
  736. 1:13:19Correct.
  737. 1:13:37beginner level
  738. 1:13:39use
  739. 1:13:43beginner level beginner level. So this
  740. 1:13:46is how A is going to impact and
  741. 1:13:48evaluator perspective studentpective
  742. 1:13:53uh it's not about how the prototype is
  743. 1:13:55working how you have built it.
  744. 1:14:14Okay.
  745. 1:14:20So, it's about knowing what you're
  746. 1:14:21building and using
  747. 1:14:28it as a powerhouse.
  748. 1:14:31Using it as a powerhouse is what is
  749. 1:14:32going to have a big impact
  750. 1:14:35building.
  751. 1:14:37Okay.
  752. 1:14:41Things to do, things not to do. So it's
  753. 1:14:44like a complete knowledge ocean.
  754. 1:14:48So is there any way to do that? So I
  755. 1:14:52think it's a very good question.
  756. 1:14:59I actually built a ebook. So hackathon
  757. 1:15:02playbook universal edition
  758. 1:15:05took more than seven days full days.
  759. 1:15:07Okay.
  760. 1:15:08Last three four years of experience. SAS
  761. 1:15:11champion eval
  762. 1:15:24basically it has everything from problem
  763. 1:15:26statement selection business modelated
  764. 1:15:33thing
  765. 1:15:34later stage business model canvas
  766. 1:15:38if suppose you're adding business model
  767. 1:15:40canvas in your uh pitch
  768. 1:15:49and
  769. 1:15:51tools
  770. 1:15:57how to make sure you can impress
  771. 1:15:58evaluators evaluator criteria
  772. 1:16:02expectations do don'ts
  773. 1:16:10It's basically a clone of my brain
  774. 1:16:13and
  775. 1:16:16you can go and access it.
  776. 1:16:19I'm giving it at 99. Okay. I think it's
  777. 1:16:22not a big deal 99. It's just that when
  778. 1:16:25you are paying that you will go and have
  779. 1:16:27a look at it.
  780. 1:16:29I can charge thousands and 2,000. But
  781. 1:16:32notion if you get it for free, you are
  782. 1:16:35not going to utilize it.
  783. 1:16:36>> So when you are paying money and getting
  784. 1:16:38it, you will be utilizing it well. And
  785. 1:16:41is not a big deal. That's what I
  786. 1:16:43believe. And
  787. 1:16:46if you have any doubt you can ping me up
  788. 1:16:47anytime
  789. 1:16:49later
  790. 1:16:55building
  791. 1:17:04hopefully by September it's not just for
  792. 1:17:06smart but focus on smart hackathon but
  793. 1:17:08it's going to be like a founder mentor
  794. 1:17:11evaluator perspective or webinar
  795. 1:17:13conductor
  796. 1:17:14And that also is accessible via the link
  797. 1:17:16in description top
  798. 1:17:19and I think this overall podcast have
  799. 1:17:22been like
