ITM Shaastra 2021 Tech & Innovation Fair
Was a judge at this year’s tech & innovation contest of IIT Madras’ Shaastra (its annual college tech fair). Shows that you can fool even IIT-ians about your intelligence – and three years in a row, for which I had been a judge for this contest 🙂
This was the first time the contest was held virtual, and the first virtual contest I have been a part of. Kudos to IIT team for making it a smooth affair.
Congrats to all the 8 finalists – remarkable talent and excellent efforts, especially during pandemic times. Made me once again feel – three years in a row – how completely useless I was during my
Our specialty focus areas include 
IITM days.
Honestly, it was challenging to decide which teams were the better of the lot. It is tough to decide in such a short time between teams when most of them had undertaken detailed efforts. I doubt I did justice to those that did not make it to top 3 – but life’s like that, people.
As these LinkedIn chaps are not allowing me to type many more words over here, I’m providing details of the top 3 teams in the comments section.
Thank you Team Shaastra, IIT Madras and the very best to all participants.
