Today, I had the incredible opportunity to pitch my first Smart India Hackathon project.Over the past week, I have been on a fascinating journey learning how research and development are carried out in real-world projects. I explored AI/ML concepts, including data collection, preparation, and model training with tools like Numpy, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn, gaining hands-on experience in transforming ideas into reality. I also delved into cloud infrastructure tools such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, and learned about data processing tools like Kafka. My exploration of simulation tools like SUMO and AnyLogic, along with integrating various APIs, provided valuable practical insights. A highlight of this journey was creating an amazing prototype UI, which was a key component of our project. Additionally, understanding the costs associated with developing each component was an essential part of the process. This experience has been instrumental in my professional growth, broadening my understanding and refining my vision for future innovations. I am enthusiastic about applying these insights and continuing to advance my skills in research and development.

After more than 10 attempts, I finally emerged victorious. I expected to be on cloud nine, but instead, I found myself in deep introspection. Our team, Unity, bagged first place at Hack4Purpose, organised by TRYST, IIT Delhi, Health Parliament, Kalyan Jewellers India Limited, and OpenGrowth, for our project, Spark. I've been a hackathon enthusiast since my first year. With limited technical expertise but an unwavering passion for leveraging tech for change, I was driven to craft innovative, impactful solutions to real-world problems. Each time my team didn’t win, I took a step back, reflected on our mistakes, learned from them, and came back stronger.  It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t hurt. For a long time, we were stuck at top 10, top 5, runner-up, or best innovation positions, but never the top spot. Yet, every near-miss fueled my determination to try again, in the hope, I would eventually figure it out. With every iteration, I evolved—exploring new tech stacks, delving into various domains and tackling diverse challenges. This time, however, was indeed different. We weren’t just aiming to build a high-profile tech-savvy project; we were driven by a problem statement so close to our hearts. Our research revealed a gap—no such tech solutions in the public domain—which made the challenge more daunting but also inspired us to push forward. We believed in our vision and when we stood triumphant, we knew Spark was not just another hackathon project on GitHub. We wanted to turn it into a real product. Heartfelt gratitude to our judges Dr. Rajendra Pratap Gupta, Reyansh Gupta and Rishikesh Kalyan —not only for their invaluable feedback during the hackathon but also for their continued support as we took Spark beyond the localhost. Stay tuned as our team embarks on this journey to empower neurodivergent learners through immersive and inclusive education ⭐ PS: At the end of the event, I had the chance to attend a fireside chat with Mr. Amit Jain, where I expressed my self-doubt about choosing this unconventional path. His advice was simple yet profound: persistence and perseverance are the keys to achieving anything in life.

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to talk about my participation in the HACKACCINO Hackathon organized by Bennett University. This hackathon featured 5 distinct tracks: AR/VR, Open Innovation, AI/ML, Cloud, and Web 3. My team members Sneha, Rudra Pratap, Saksham Singh, Tanay Gupta and I collaborated to create an innovative solution within a tight timeframe. Our project, Punah Pustak, centered around Open Innovation. Punah Pustak aims to connect students with affordable, high-quality used textbooks to support academic success and environmental sustainability. By encouraging reuse and recycling, we reduce the financial burden of textbooks while lessening the environmental impact of production. Our goal is to democratize education and advocate for a greener future. Though we weren't selected for further rounds, the experience was invaluable. It was a rewarding opportunity to apply my technical knowledge, improve my skills, and network with like-minded peers passionate about technology. I'm eagerly looking forward to future hackathons and ongoing learning. Orkes Bennett University You.com #hackaccino #hackathon #technology
