• IIT Madras -Brand value. Diversity of start-ups. Different tracks. Networking opportunities(Fewer opportunities due to the Covid. Cash prize- not the main attraction but definitely a plus point.
• Critique from the jury- Fundamental idea was questioned- Which made them widen the problem statement. Was able to learn crypto.
• Mentoring: Had a lot of exposure as it is his 3rd start-up. Workshops: were good, got a lot of updates on the current scenario of the start-up ecosystem.
• Really liked our website- very engaging design.
• Our timeline clashed with similar events conducted by a lot of prominent IITs and IIMs. ( IITR and IIM Lucknow). Kind request to make sure it does not happen as it reduces the number of participants.
• Discord: not effective. Juggling between discord, WhatsApp, and phone calls. Single most reason for missing out on the workshops and mentoring sessions. No reply from the team. Make things simple - Keep WhatsApp.
• I will sent the video testimonial at the earliest.
