Throughout the hackathon, teams benefited from the support of a dedicated group of mentors, including Monish Luthra, Rignesh Dave, Jay Shah, Pramod Navani, and others, who offered valuable guidance along the way. Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, the spirited SoCo Team (Social Committee) kept morale high with their energetic cheerleading.
At the end of the 24 hours, each team proudly presented their solutions to the entire organization and leadership panel.
