The event was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and brilliant ideas. Meeting fellow participants from various backgrounds and hearing their unique approaches to solving real-world problems was inspiring.

Even though I didn’t win, reaching the finals was an achievement in itself, and the journey was full of valuable lessons.
Interaction with Ganesh Balakrishnan
One of the highlights of my experience was interacting with Ganesh Balakrishnan, the founder of Flatheads, a startup that gained recognition on Shark Tank India. His entrepreneurial journey, from facing challenges to building a brand, was truly inspiring. He emphasized the importance of resilience, adaptability, and learning from failures—key lessons for any aspiring entrepreneur.
