HACKATHON
The entire hackathon was a one-week event focused on building a product using generative AI. Participants started by identifying a real-life problem and citing their sources, then conducted market research and presented their findings. Next, they devise an AI-based solution for the problem and planned the tech stack for their product. They then created the generative AI product and considered scalability and marketing strategies. Finally, they deployed the product on commercial or available web platforms. Building a startup requires innovation, not just wrapping an existing API. The emphasis was on using multiple APIs and conducting in-depth research, focusing on the fundamentals of a startup. The goal was to develop practical generative AI products with real-life applications in India. That's the essence of the hackathon.

Words from judges
I recently participated in a GenAI hackathon hosted by Paras Madan, and it was an exceptional experience. The event was impeccably organized, with every detail thoughtfully planned to ensure a smooth and engaging process. Comprehensive training and mentoring were provided, greatly enhancing the quality of the projects.
As a mentor and judge, I found the experience incredibly rewarding. The hackathon's structure allowed me to closely guide talented teams, witnessing their innovative solutions firsthand. Paras's dedication to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment was evident, making it a truly enriching experience for everyone involved.

Thank's Paras for organizing such an impressive hackathon. The projects developed using Lica's design agents were exceptionally innovative and have great potential to evolve into successful businesses.
I am eager to see even larger events in the Indian subcontinent in the future.

I liked the way everything was organized and handled. Starting from creating teams with mix of experience, problem statement understanding, various guidance and mentoring sessions from great Industry persons across domains , helping us with technical stuff and presenting ourself in front of large audience.

The feedbacks, and the submissions, nothing fancy just simple 2 min videos. Not being forced to make ppts and follow a certain format. The length of the hackathon was also good, enough time to get things done, but not too much that we get bored.
Aman Gupta
The way it was organised. The great judges and the speakers that interacted with us. Normal leadership we would not get to have such connections and conversations. It gave us a great help in connecting with such talented people
Himanshu Sharma
The way it was conducted, smooth yet strict. Everything happened on time. No delays. Great help from everyone. I would spend much more on the entry fees if I knew it would be this efficient. Loved the idea of creating random teams
