Participants will identify real-world problems or white spaces within given industries/sectors. Ideathon aims to inspire candidates to delve into the business world of specified sectors, identifying gaps, and constructing problem statements. Participants will receive email from the team for submission.Proper validation of the problem, backed by data or other means, is essential to convey its gravity. Experienced personnel will evaluate the problem statements based on complexity, ingenuity, and relevance in the current business world.
