Recently participated in our first hackathon - NITSHACKS ‎7.0 - hosted by NIT Silchar. Team 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 comprised of Uttkarsh Singh, Divyansh Jain, Saket Verma and Pratham Karmarkar and finally me (Anmol Anand)! We weren't able to get to a podium finish in the Software Track of the Hackathon, but to our spirit we won the 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 in the track. Of course, as it was our first we were very excited to work as team and learn new things and ways to collaborate with each other in a better way. Yeah there were some mistakes, but we look forward to commit some other mistakes in the next hackathon and solve the previous ones !! Greatly satisfied on winning the 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝, but looking to win a podium finish in the next :} #hackathon #nitshacks

Congratulations! We are celebrating our 60th birthday! 🎂 It's okay and even necessary to celebrate small successes. We invest so much, so we deserve to celebrate. 🥂 Just before another event, we're at Vickathon, celebrating 60 hackathons! And there's nothing like a birthday to share 6 tips from our journey so far: 1) It is essential to get out of your comfort zone and try things for the first time—that's how I started with hackathons. Somewhere in 2013, I attended a hackathon event without knowing what it was about. I was hooked, and the rest is history. 2) Be creative 💡 and look for opportunities even in difficulty. Instead of getting confused when COVID-19 entered our lives, we developed a platform for hackathons. That's how we entered the virtual hackathon market and, from there, the international hackathon market. 3) Listen to your customers. The reasons they want your product/service can be various. Each customer is unique, and for each customer, we need to make adjustments👌. These adjustments help us improve the product/service for future customers. 4) When you're just starting out with a new product or service, it's critical to find a very specific audience willing to experiment. It's not easy, and sometimes you have to cast many fishing lines 🎣 to catch one or two customers. But that's all you need at the beginning. And if what you're offering is good, others will join later. 5) Keep learning and developing in your field and also in adjacent fields. This will give you an advantage over others and signal to your customers that you are professional. 6) Most importantly: Enjoy the journey💫. When we do things out of passion and enjoyment, we radiate that outwards, and ultimately, it attracts others. If you too have insights to share from your entrepreneurial journey, please share 🙂
