- 0:45>> one week before the final.
- 0:48Do you think you can defeat us with this
- 0:58>> [music]
- 1:06>> evaluator perspective. Uh it's not about
- 1:09how the prototype is working.

- 1:17[music]
- 1:22Hi everyone, I'm Deepipika from Codent
- 1:24Academy. So I'm a 2024 Smart India
- 1:27hackathon winner. So smart hackathon
- 1:30seasons
- 1:44and cons
- 1:51global hackathon winner 2022 smart India
- 1:54hackathon champion three times SH
- 1:56evaluator 23 24 and 25,000 plus national
- 2:00hackathon winners
- 2:02and 25,000 plus students mentor. He is
- 2:06none other than our founder of code
- 2:08academy.
- 2:10Welcome.
- 2:12Hi, it's my absolute pleasure and I
- 2:15think the podcast
- 2:18and a host who herself is a smart
- 2:20winner.
- 2:23So yeah, I'm ready.
- 2:32>> [music]
- 2:42>> Okay.
- 2:49So
- 2:51students
- 2:53so what is your take on this?
- 2:55>> Okay. So I think most important question
- 3:09or simple examp
- 3:44You have to keep it planned.
- 4:03and structured, patient and consistency
- 4:08in our perspective
- 4:10computer science students
- 4:17I think we are back three four years
- 4:19absolutely
- 4:25so what's more important idea correct
- 4:28>> and the idea problem solve
- 4:30and the problem.
- 4:38Okay.
- 4:44So anyone can participate and
- 4:49department. So and across college
- 4:54student
- 4:57civil student
- 5:00and it's not just about engineering art
- 5:02students
- 5:08right everyone can have an idea so wrong
- 5:10perception
- 5:14and I
- 5:27So I think
- 5:34very nice perspective actually
- 5:40it's a very good perspective actually.
- 5:42So next moving on. So,
- 5:46SP registration,
- 5:49college registration
- 6:09question last
- 6:19Spark registration
- 6:24registration
- 6:28single point of contact basically
- 6:34department
- 6:38but official register
- 6:42Only then you can participate. Okay.
- 7:05mainly colleges. I feel that students
- 7:08has to take the responsibility college
- 7:11to make sure they register as a SP.
- 7:27Yeah, I think SPC doubts I think I
- 7:31cleared it.
- 7:32>> Okay guys, SPC registration is very
- 7:34must. So
- 7:37okay
- 7:39students
- 7:43so what is the team size? Is there any
- 7:45particular restrictions?
- 7:49Yeah. So normally smart
- 7:53six members max
- 7:56eligibility students count
- 8:17it's on your hands. Okay. So in the team
- 8:19formation one of the major role is at
- 8:21least one girl has to be there.
- 8:28So basically team particip
- 8:34and normally all girls team are allowed.
- 8:36So six girls
- 8:42at least one girl has to be
- 8:45and in the six members are always
- 8:48crucial or team formation team eligility
- 8:51and short list
- 9:01and at least five people have to be
- 9:02there in the final
- 9:06So keep that in mind.
- 9:12Okay.
- 9:23strategy
- 9:30driving.
- 9:35So what's your take on this? So I think
- 9:38one of the most asked question
- 9:48and fear of failure.
- 9:51So to participate
- 9:54so six member team we had two girls and
- 9:56four boys. So combination so that they
- 9:59are also comfortable overall team
- 10:07form
- 10:09skill is second first is coordination I
- 10:13have seen
- 10:16last developer
- 10:37and by the meantime I've seen teams
- 10:49more powerful. Okay, first thing is
- 10:51learning. Okay,
- 10:56I lost my first three
- 11:05and different teams. Okay. Okay.
- 11:12Right. I learned from those mistakes.
- 11:18Fear of failure.
- 11:34You just get into hackathon
- 11:39and hackathon is not just coding and
- 11:41building a product
- 11:44leadership.
- 11:53I think team formation is more about
- 11:56coordination and working interest skills
- 12:01will go on its way. I think. Yeah. Okay.
- 12:09Write problem statement
- 12:14problem.
- 12:31Open
- 12:32problem statement. So in the open
- 12:35problem statement
- 12:37problem
- 12:48for like next three months
- 12:53a right problem statement is very
- 12:54important. So right problem statements.
- 12:59Yeah, I think uh most of it problem.
- 13:05So the main thing problem statement
- 13:06selection
- 13:08most
- 13:29when you know your team skills Right.
- 13:41There are ideas
- 13:4416 170
- 13:48submissions. Basically problem statement
- 13:51500 submissions.
- 13:57So 500 max 160 problem statements more
- 14:01than 120 problem statements.
- 14:06So tough problem statement, easy problem
- 14:09statement
- 14:12and
- 14:15I have seen teams present
- 14:26and compet
- 14:28so they will be losing that. I have seen
- 14:30many teams like that simple ide
- 14:42based on just okayist
- 15:02basically simple
- 15:18but not about pitching later part of
- 15:22session but I think this is what we have
- 15:25to focus while selecting on the problem
- 15:27statement not just is it easy or hard
- 15:33it has higher chance for taking you to
- 15:35the next level
- 15:36>> and also
- 15:45problem statement
- 15:54from what you have told. Yeah, I think
- 15:56it's
- 16:04paying for posting my problem statement.
- 16:11Why should I announce
- 16:12perspective for student perspective?
- 16:21Two teams more
- 16:26zero winners.
- 16:28Zero winners,
- 16:32zero fin2.
- 16:35We had around 500 600 problem statements
- 16:37hard around 200 plus problem statements.
- 16:40Zero finalists
- 16:43and most of it were extremely complex
- 16:48deep problem statements problem
- 16:51statements had zero finalists
- 16:54problem statement was an extremely hard
- 16:56one alternative but we knew we could
- 16:58build it somehow we took it we had
- 17:02minimal submissions around I think
- 17:04problem statement 500 submission they
- 17:06had around 92 something
- 17:12but I think we shouldn't expect that
- 17:14every problem statement is going to have
- 17:16a winner or every problem statement is
- 17:17going to have a finalist so simple logic
- 17:20and the problem
- 17:24finational
- 17:37so
- 17:49and I think
- 17:52three hackathon failures
- 17:56I think it's a very good question to ask
- 17:57and the failures
- 18:01so first thing smart 2020
- 18:05smart
- 18:07people
- 18:18as I became an eved
- 18:33for the finals. Okay.
- 18:37template.
- 18:39Oh, so my didn't make me aware.
- 18:44So this is one major mistake I learned.
- 18:46So
- 18:49template template.
- 19:04Okay.
- 19:10Second thing, TNSA 2020
- 19:13is basically students.
- 19:19I want every one of you to check that.
- 19:24Okay.
- 19:38problem
- 19:44over features. Okay.
- 19:58Realization, right? So don't over
- 20:03basically
- 20:05prototype.
- 20:10Third thing
- 20:14we got short listed for top 50 worldwide
- 20:17teams worldwide top 50
- 20:22top 15 short list US finals.
- 20:26>> Okay. So we built basically a car voice
- 20:29assistant. So 128 languages
- 20:54one point difference we couldn't get
- 20:55into the finals.
- 21:06Okay.
- 21:08So
- 21:11better research
- 21:16problem.
- 21:18So I felt that
- 21:25okay if I had spent even more time on
- 21:27the research.
- 21:35So
- 21:38if you know official for make sure
- 21:43and problem understand
- 21:55made sure that I won seven hackathons
- 21:57backto back state national including
- 22:00smart hackathon 2022
- 22:04stage I think These three failures
- 22:06taught me a lot.
- 22:12It was fire.
- 22:15It's not just about building.
- 22:39Yep. Very nice smooth transition.
- 22:47So and also apart from this
- 22:54it's not a small
- 22:56huge thing to do. Okay. [snorts]
- 23:02So coming back to smart India hackathon
- 23:05again next step the internal hackathon.
- 23:07So in the internal
- 23:22access
- 23:24team
- 23:30which means that intern
- 23:43problem.
- 23:55Yeah. So I think
- 24:04I think
- 24:08top
- 24:14So students
- 24:27top 45 teams and five weight list.
- 24:35So last years maybe
- 24:4750% prototype
- 24:52expect.
- 24:58>> So the goal is don't just focus on the
- 25:00prototype. So
- 25:03import
- 25:06down to 20 to 30%
- 25:12request
- 25:15all about prototype.
- 25:25Build this product for me.
- 25:33This is first thing. Second thing is
- 25:36full architecture.
- 25:55It can collapse anytime. Correct.
- 25:58we can't say
- 26:04right.
- 26:07So for the internal hackathon focus on
- 26:10system design product architecture.
- 26:13Third thing presentation
- 26:40college and
- 26:44It was a hackathon.
- 26:55Okay.
- 27:00They have no idea. Okay.
- 27:05Right.
- 27:10It's okay to be 50%
- 27:13but
- 27:15right absolutely
- 27:16>> so this is what evaluators will expect
- 27:21mostly teachers
- 27:23they bring experts for eval
- 27:29It's a psychological game.
- 27:37Okay. So as simple as possible.
- 27:46So you have to plan more for how you are
- 27:48conveying about your product. Right.
- 27:53Confidence. proper prototype, proper
- 27:55structure.
- 27:57Negatives.
- 27:59So these are all all things will make a
- 28:02proper game play, not just prototype.
- 28:09So yeah, so it's all about the right
- 28:11idea. It's not about
- 28:20Yeah,
- 28:25let's
- 28:31So what's the next step?
- 28:39And it also ask for increder
- 29:17elimination.
- 29:19Correct. Correct. Problem statement.
- 29:22Normally they have three evaluators.
- 29:24Evaluator will be bringing that down
- 29:26from 500 to 250. 250 to 100.
- 29:31He will be shortlisting.
- 29:40First thing official for
- 30:02right so don't modify the template Okay.
- 30:20With having so many tools that can make
- 30:22it better
- 30:30and it should be powerful. This is my
- 30:32productive
- 30:39onetop network authentication system. So
- 30:44it adds more value. Okay.
- 30:50It doesn't make sense. So make sure your
- 30:53PP conveys.
- 30:56This is first thing. Second thing video
- 30:58link additional documents and video
- 31:00link.
- 31:03Okay.
- 31:12Normally partners with TCS mostly they
- 31:16have an evaluation channel. Okay.
- 31:21And
- 31:24so they barely spend 3 minutes to 5
- 31:26minutes.
- 31:33Okay.
- 31:37Depends on the Okay.
- 31:45But having a video is always an
- 31:47advantage.
- 31:48structured
- 31:57and 2 minutes max.
- 32:06Oh my god.
- 32:12So that adds value
- 32:16and add models to market strategy
- 32:23gives an overall package.
- 32:27Okay.
- 32:34Okay. Okay.
- 32:36shortly and the thing is
- 32:40last year
- 32:47I'll make sure that
- 32:57okay no matter how much you request you
- 32:58cannot submit again right
- 33:02so make sure
- 33:05mm Okay. Okay. And college management
- 33:08has to pressure the students and
- 33:13so I think this is what with respect to
- 33:15eval
- 33:22super nice okay
- 33:30next
- 33:34Top five team
- 33:46days
- 33:51across India 40 to 50 locations and
- 33:54different states.
- 34:03So also
- 34:09transport.
- 34:14So
- 34:162022
- 34:26I top topd
- 34:49Yeah. Okay. I think
- 34:54so I think
- 34:58so main thing finals. So Delhi finals
- 35:03end part of the story.
- 35:10Okay. Short snaps. Okay. January 2022
- 35:23Smart India
- 35:252022 January problem. So we took one of
- 35:28the hardest problem statement OTP
- 35:30alternative OT one time handshake.
- 35:34So basically problem statement low
- 35:53and two girls we got in our team. Okay.
- 35:56So super
- 36:06Not 45.
- 36:09It was the highest participated
- 36:10hackathon 75.
- 36:19So finals
- 36:26ideafation
- 36:51There was a horrific incident in UP.
- 36:53Okay.
- 37:00The mother is blind. Okay. The girl was
- 37:02being harassed and murdered by four
- 37:04goons.
- 37:07So she has been harassed and she has
- 37:10been murdered. Okay. So
- 37:14what happened? The police burned the
- 37:17body of the girl and
- 37:20because these four were politically
- 37:23powerful people. Okay. So the
- 37:25politically powerful people
- 37:30the public beat them up and
- 37:36I felt I think the public has more power
- 37:38certain times. Right.
- 37:42Correct.
- 37:50[snorts]
- 37:52So public.
- 38:08She has to tap on SOS.
- 38:24roughly 10 to 15 minutes
- 38:27and that 15 minutes the most precious
- 38:30time of the girls fight right and in the
- 38:3215 minutes
- 38:34we brought it down to 250 milliseconds
- 38:36faster than a blink of an eye concept
- 38:39octus
- 38:43means
- 38:45protecting protecting us across all
- 38:49so people around the world will be
- 38:50alerted not just the police
- 38:58Okay.
- 39:17Okay.
- 39:21I boarded my juniors in my team. So one
- 39:24is one is and is my co-founder now
- 39:28both of us have been doing it together
- 39:30and the journey started okay and best
- 39:33friends ex best friends basically
- 39:36they also registered for they got
- 39:38eliminated in the first round
- 39:41we ended up winning
- 39:47it's more about business pitch
- 39:48strategical stuff business modelafety
- 39:53business
- 40:03We ended up winning. So in the one month
- 40:06I was not in college
- 40:16and all this happens in one month, one
- 40:18to two months.
- 40:23So remember the timeline
- 40:28May 15. Congratulations.
- 40:39Okay.
- 40:42Okay.
- 40:45Because they planned a celebration.
- 40:50They thought that
- 40:55ego.
- 40:57They understood that
- 41:04and he's not a good guy.
- 41:18Oh, so okay fine. But we won.
- 41:30Okay. Okay. Okay. July 14.
- 41:47Sorry. Not reachable. Not available.
- 41:52I'm happy.
- 42:00Next day my dad met with an accident.
- 42:02Okay.
- 42:04I had to be with him for 15 days. July
- 42:0714th.
- 42:12Okay.
- 42:18And we were like, "Okay,
- 42:32then
- 42:35last."
- 42:37So after that I was like, "Okay."
- 42:46biggest
- 42:51they gave an option where each team can
- 42:53replace with three new members.
- 42:54>> Wow. Okay.
- 43:02Fresh team.
- 43:03>> Super hurdle one.
- 43:06Hurdle two. Okay.
- 43:09One week before the finals,
- 43:18they have destroyed the whole server.
- 43:22One week before the finals and
- 43:28they destroyed the whole code base one
- 43:30week before finals.
- 43:35Okay. So
- 43:39third thing in the financial support
- 43:44no one was there to help
- 43:47the fact that I was not in very good
- 43:48terms with my college
- 43:52and I'm a university
- 44:00these guys are on good terms
- 44:05Every team normally has two mentors.
- 44:11So
- 44:16basically
- 44:19it's like okay
- 44:21they were like
- 44:25sorry
- 44:28I don't want to stress them lotangal
- 44:47software engineers.
- 44:5836 hours. And normally
- 45:11reputation always maintain.
- 45:15So 36
- 45:23along with my story mistakes and
- 45:25learnings so that it will be helpful.
- 45:30So first thing first
- 45:44security
- 45:52okay fine what to do now Okay.
- 46:0625 to 30 minutes.
- 46:10Okay. Something is wrong.
- 46:14I think it was a strategical move that
- 46:20I score. So first round 50 points they
- 46:23were at 45. Okay first roundal
- 46:27score
- 46:2950 45
- 46:32what would have been the score for our
- 46:33team at least 25 to 30 close 21.
- 46:40Okay. So basically done for you know
- 46:44basically okay. So 20 hours 36.
- 46:52So after that we were like
- 46:59hey
- 47:03absolutely I totally agree with
- 47:09Okay. So first
- 47:29it's basically USSD
- 47:46We had to sit down
- 47:51and we came to know that
- 47:58okay we were students we can't do
- 48:05serviceapver
- 48:11So
- 48:16They were stunned hearing the idea but
- 48:30okay fine Overall
- 48:42full of strategies.
- 49:04So, but that was a peak work thing.
- 49:07Okay. We built the product.
- 49:11We just took a photo.
- 49:15We took a photo
- 49:21but we had that mindset
- 49:34even
- 49:40they were stunned.
- 49:50Both of us had Indian bank without
- 49:53internet.
- 49:56Seriously. Yeah. And why bank
- 49:58transaction? Bank
- 50:01right.
- 50:02Of course.
- 50:09And one more thing
- 50:19we started explaining from the harder
- 50:21features.
- 50:23So
- 50:24presentation 1 hour
- 50:30you have to know what you're going to
- 50:31say to problem.
- 50:47So
- 50:50basically
- 50:52so they had an assumption that we don't
- 50:54know Hindi
- 51:04I could have gone and confronted
- 51:10you sitting like Yes,
- 51:38they assume that we still working on QR.
- 51:40Okay.
- 51:41They were so overconfident. They were
- 51:43about to win, right? Final announcement.
- 52:08college friends, parents.
- 52:19Anyway, we know who is going to win.
- 52:21Tell me your idea.
- 52:23It's like a QR thing. Do you think you
- 52:27can defeat us with this
- 52:29And I was like,
- 52:43so I was like, okay.
- 52:49So I was like, okay.
- 52:53result announcement.
- 52:55The problem the problem statement and
- 52:57the winner of the problem statement
- 53:18and I told one thing to my team. If we
- 53:20win,
- 53:24we should never show that we struggle to
- 53:26win.
- 53:31More than 5 minutes of applause
- 53:35and
- 53:38non-stop
- 53:40unbelievable. We never expected
- 53:46they couldn't see.
- 53:52Yeah. So what is your real
- 53:58you know Hindi? I didn't tell I don't
- 54:00know. [laughter]
- 54:02in the SIS journey taught me a lot
- 54:10and
- 54:29you would have had a different set of
- 54:30struggles, right? Okay.
- 54:41I want to hear from you now 2024 when
- 54:45you won. I think already the internal
- 54:48was a big hurdle for you. 2,000 students
- 54:502,000 teams.
- 54:54So I want to know how you took forward
- 54:57the process. 200 is not a joke.
- 55:04I
- 55:11definitely untold hurdles I want to hear
- 55:14that from you now. Sure. Okay.
- 55:20different story because
- 55:42super
- 55:50I feel the importance of
- 56:02happy that colleges are stepping up.
- 56:04Yeah, of course.
- 56:06I'm very grateful. So
- 56:09second
- 56:15year
- 56:18driving
- 56:35department. Department
- 56:50I was completely honest.
- 57:02So hackathon
- 57:07fellow college students.
- 57:27Okay.
- 57:38participate.
- 57:56Problem statement, disaster management
- 57:58system,
- 58:00dis
- 58:09offices
- 58:15response
- 58:18quickware.
- 58:30It's not
- 58:36it's always backed by software righty
- 58:41product. Hybrid formal
- 58:53mentorship.
- 59:12First barrier, language barrier. Okay.
- 59:34hardware.
- 59:50So
- 59:59nonfunctional requirements
- 1:00:10expectations
- 1:00:11expectations.
- 1:00:15So apart from that
- 1:00:19second
- 1:00:24apart from this addition
- 1:00:44but I I don't believe in that.
- 1:01:03Because
- 1:01:07they lose their lives like
- 1:01:23so when it when a software solution can
- 1:01:26impact lives. Why not building one
- 1:01:36additional improvements
- 1:01:40and
- 1:01:41despite of language barriers?
- 1:01:54Oh
- 1:02:06final result
- 1:02:14one thing we made sure is that
- 1:02:23Even
- 1:02:31relax.
- 1:02:43Morning.
- 1:02:48Mhm.
- 1:02:52[laughter]

- 1:03:03indicate
- 1:03:13[laughter]
- 1:03:18[laughter and gasps]
- 1:03:25stage.
- 1:03:27So not like
- 1:03:33so
- 1:03:38okay
- 1:03:44the clear winner
- 1:03:515000
- 1:03:537500
- 1:03:56clear winner
- 1:04:00happy. So finally
- 1:04:13this is the moment.
- 1:04:16So I I can't even like forget that day.
- 1:04:21I think it's like more than just a
- 1:04:23hackathon.
- 1:04:29people understand
- 1:04:35we are here and yeah happy. Yeah
- 1:04:37seriously
- 1:04:39problem statement.
- 1:04:47Okay. Tamil can produce like smarters.
- 1:04:55I felt really happy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:04:57And I think like
- 1:04:59participation
- 1:05:07super happy and mentorship sessions like
- 1:05:102024 mentorship
- 1:05:14last year more than 60% of it were teams
- 1:05:17and college events
- 1:05:21everything has been that impact and the
- 1:05:23mentorship we got featured on time
- 1:05:25square twice as India's number one
- 1:05:27hackathon.
- 1:05:27>> Yeah, it's a huge thing. Time square not
- 1:05:31once but twice bro. Such a great thing
- 1:05:34bro.
- 1:05:35>> So yeah I think I think we had a lot of
- 1:05:38value in this session and I think top
- 1:05:40two questions most asked maybe like
- 1:05:44questions
- 1:05:47important questions perspective
- 1:05:49questions I think we can go ahead and we
- 1:05:53can complete. Sorry, I think podcast
- 1:05:56I think we have given most of the value.
- 1:05:58So yeah, I think
- 1:06:10three times eval.
- 1:06:22Okay. So most asked questions
- 1:06:40first most asked question. Uh actually
- 1:06:44most realistic scenario
- 1:07:02okay and who face it well
- 1:07:07it happens things get broken
- 1:07:11prevention is better than
- 1:07:14what I would suggest before this and
- 1:07:16after this scenario. First thing video.
- 1:07:20Okay.
- 1:07:31It's always good to have a backup,
- 1:07:32right?
- 1:07:48Okay.
- 1:07:52But we had a video demo.
- 1:07:55That's why we want the best ide.
- 1:07:58>> So it's always good to have a video.
- 1:08:02Being honest. Okay.
- 1:08:10So
- 1:08:19just a minute by the time system
- 1:08:22I don't want to take a lot of time
- 1:08:26working like that
- 1:08:29but this is how it works by the meime if
- 1:08:32you are able to get things up and
- 1:08:34specific fine
- 1:08:38Second, third thing knowing your
- 1:08:41negatives.
- 1:08:55Okay.
- 1:09:02So, know your negatives.
- 1:09:03>> Okay.
- 1:09:07interview.
- 1:09:26So keep it proactive.
- 1:09:29It is normal.
- 1:09:34scenario but handling it with confidence
- 1:09:37with focus and with the demo is what is
- 1:09:40going to have a better impact and I
- 1:09:42think is the best way to handle
- 1:09:45correct
- 1:09:52this is how it was working
- 1:09:56by the mech diagram ready to
- 1:10:02So you have an answer before they have
- 1:10:04multiple questions.
- 1:10:11Correct. Correct.
- 1:10:12>> And we should control
- 1:10:16the whole eval.
- 1:10:20So that's that's happy.
- 1:10:26Absolutely. Absolutely. So next most
- 1:10:28asked question is that
- 1:10:31AI AI AI AI has become a buzz word so
- 1:10:39pros and cons so how is how it's going
- 1:10:42to impact the entire hackathon so what's
- 1:10:45your take actually
- 1:10:59first AI powered marketing system
- 1:11:03management system
- 1:11:05that
- 1:11:08major scenario shift. Second thing
- 1:11:16full
- 1:11:19days,
- 1:11:22right?
- 1:11:30Correct.
- 1:11:49and recent
- 1:11:55when I ask one question they are not
- 1:11:56able to answer because they don't know
- 1:11:58what they have built.
- 1:11:59>> Okay. Okay. So,
- 1:12:09right. It's about structured coding and
- 1:12:17presentation
- 1:12:24I think
- 1:12:30just for visual presentations
- 1:12:40locality
- 1:12:44Also research
- 1:13:03Right.
- 1:13:19Correct.
- 1:13:37beginner level
- 1:13:39use
- 1:13:43beginner level beginner level. So this
- 1:13:46is how A is going to impact and
- 1:13:48evaluator perspective studentpective
- 1:13:53uh it's not about how the prototype is
- 1:13:55working how you have built it.
- 1:14:14Okay.
- 1:14:20So, it's about knowing what you're
- 1:14:21building and using
- 1:14:28it as a powerhouse.
- 1:14:31Using it as a powerhouse is what is
- 1:14:32going to have a big impact
- 1:14:35building.
- 1:14:37Okay.
- 1:14:41Things to do, things not to do. So it's
- 1:14:44like a complete knowledge ocean.
- 1:14:48So is there any way to do that? So I
- 1:14:52think it's a very good question.
- 1:14:59I actually built a ebook. So hackathon
- 1:15:02playbook universal edition
- 1:15:05took more than seven days full days.
- 1:15:07Okay.
- 1:15:08Last three four years of experience. SAS
- 1:15:11champion eval
- 1:15:24basically it has everything from problem
- 1:15:26statement selection business modelated
- 1:15:33thing
- 1:15:34later stage business model canvas
- 1:15:38if suppose you're adding business model
- 1:15:40canvas in your uh pitch
- 1:15:49and
- 1:15:51tools
- 1:15:57how to make sure you can impress
- 1:15:58evaluators evaluator criteria
- 1:16:02expectations do don'ts
- 1:16:10It's basically a clone of my brain
- 1:16:13and
- 1:16:16you can go and access it.
- 1:16:19I'm giving it at 99. Okay. I think it's
- 1:16:22not a big deal 99. It's just that when
- 1:16:25you are paying that you will go and have
- 1:16:27a look at it.
- 1:16:29I can charge thousands and 2,000. But
- 1:16:32notion if you get it for free, you are
- 1:16:35not going to utilize it.
- 1:16:36>> So when you are paying money and getting
- 1:16:38it, you will be utilizing it well. And
- 1:16:41is not a big deal. That's what I
- 1:16:43believe. And
- 1:16:46if you have any doubt you can ping me up
- 1:16:47anytime
- 1:16:49later
- 1:16:55building
- 1:17:04hopefully by September it's not just for
- 1:17:06smart but focus on smart hackathon but
- 1:17:08it's going to be like a founder mentor
- 1:17:11evaluator perspective or webinar
- 1:17:13conductor
- 1:17:14And that also is accessible via the link
- 1:17:16in description top
- 1:17:19and I think this overall podcast have
- 1:17:22been like
