Transcripts
hello buddies we are back with the most
awaited and the most important video for
smart India hackathon 2024 and that is
how to make a winning PPD for getting
into the finale and before that let me
cover some of the two important points
with respect to the guidelines okay in
the previous video we would have
mentioned that every College can submit
up to 100 uh teams okay but they have
updated the guidelines which they
normally do so 25 teams plus five can
actually submit so if you can check in
in their official website itself you can
just have a look that 25 + 5 that is 25
teams directly getting short listed and
five weight listed teams okay and
another thing one team can submit two
ideas so you can work out in an easy way
where you can actually split out two
problem statements so these are with the
guidelines and now let's directly get
into the pp okay so where you can
download the PPT you can just go to the
guidelines and download this idea PP
okay I've got it downloaded already and
I have structured it in a format which
can be useful for you so I think I no
need to walk through this first page and
the last page because you will
definitely have an idea of it okay so
let's go one by one okay so the idea
title slide this is the first slide
which the evaluator is going to see and
going to get an idea of what you are
actually offering for the problem
statement so as you all know we have
covered in the entire playlist of last
year of what problem statement we did
which is basically an OTP alternative
okay so they have asked for a system the
Dr have asked for system where we can
replace OTP and create a new technology
and that's what we called as OT H and
using that basis of I created a rough
slide okay of how I would have done if
this was the scenario because this is a
completely new template comparing to all
other smart India hack accounts
previously okay so the first thing the
idea and solution so what does the idea
and solution have to
cover actually what you are solving okay
but try to keep it precise
last year when I got the evaluations and
all I saw that so many people have kept
it in a junk kind of a paragraph which
actually being an evaluator you won't
have much time to evaluate okay let me
be brutally honest so I had only one day
time to evaluate somewhere around 100
plus ideas so keep that in mind when you
pitch your deck I mean the pitch deck
the idea PPD okay so if you can see here
I would have used some words which
actually elevate my solution okay so try
to keep it into precise points so in the
idea and solution section as I already
said cover what you are solving and keep
it in a way that actually showcasing you
more powerfully rather than using common
words okay like uh we are going to do
this we are going to add this this is
how we have done try to avoid all these
words like V our and all okay so this
will create more impact okay next
problem resolution so you would have had
a second pointer which says that how you
addressing the problem so we have given
the solution here already so we already
know the problem okay how we are going
to implement this solution or how this
solution is going to actually solve the
problem so you can keep it to Max three
points okay so you can just cover what
you are doing so say what we are doing
so we have uh otps that can actually be
hacked so we are solving that problem
through this technology so we have uh
implemented that we have multiactor
authentication and that multiactor
authentication has eight layers of
security with 512 bit encryption so if
you are being a tech from a technical
background you can exactly understand
what I'm saying okay so that is the
problem resolution then comes the
important part uniqueness so you would
have had the third point in your deck
which you have seen as uniqueness if
needed let me just uh open it as well
okay just give me a minute for a
comparison for you so that you
can have an
idea okay this also the same sorry just
give me a minute
ah yeah so you would have had Innovation
and uniqueness of the solution so what
you would have added unique value
propositions it's a typical business
term that also means the same okay so
what we are doing uniquely and this is a
major evaluation criteria Point okay
this is a tip which I'm giving cuz I was
an evaluator last year okay so keep all
this in your mind try to highlight the
major keywords just like what I have
done I will share this uh PP in the
description okay for you so these three
are the major things and also so you can
see how I have structured this entire
layout okay so keep that in your mind
that it has to be neat and clean okay so
there is the first slide overv I hope
you have got what I'm coming to say for
this slide because this is the first
slide which they going to see from the
evaluator perspective next come the
technical approach so last year most of
you what mistakes you have did you have
just put technically what I'm doing C++
Java python literally you have not
covered like what this section is
actually meant for okay so it typically
means what you are going to do in your
product and which language or which base
you're going to use for that simple for
my algorithm I use nextjs as the base
okay so that's what I have put for
algorithm oh sorry for the
algorithm development what I have used
similarly for mobile application
development so try to bring it domain
wise don't use programming language wise
okay that will give an advantage because
most people what they will put last year
when people put complicated logos python
Java JavaScript they put all logos like
that and typically being an evaluator I
won't even get a meaning why you're
doing that okay so cover your domain
like the part of your product which
you're doing and get it done okay that's
easy for you next is the process flow
architecture this is very very very very
very important okay you may be actually
putting your flowchart diagram or
whatever but just keep it in your mind
that it has to be understandable for the
evaluator I have seen complicated
flowcharts where I even got stuck up
like okay what is this going to do cuz
this is something that's going to
represent your product okay you doesn't
don't need to have it very complicated
you can have it very simple okay see uh
let me just explain what is my
architecture explain you may think like
what I have put here so first thing is a
web login he's going to get into the
website he's going to enter his
credentials and when you enter his
credentials instead of getting verify
OTP you will be having called as verify
so a code will be displayed in the
screen say St 484 hash okay so once it
displayed I will take out my phone I
have to just call to that number
automatically an API structure this is
where our entire server code is which I
cannot actually explicitly say cuz we
are copyrighting it and based on that if
the status is true it gets mashed and
automatically it gets login and as we
are sending only zeros and ones as
values this can optimally work at
literally lowest Network zones which is
basically the problem statement okay so
you don't need to have it complicated as
I'm again saying okay next is the
product status okay say what I would
have done here say let's come here so
methodology and process for
implementation this is what we have
covered here okay so what add-on I would
have done like what is your
implementation theyve given a term
called as implementation right so this
is the winning PPD which we submitted
for smart 2022 so here I would have
added this showing that we are actually
doing something important this year try
to keep it below 40 or 30% don't need to
add up to 80% and all okay cuz in smart
2022 we can submit only one idea which
is not the same now okay so this covers
the technical approach section okay I
hope you are clear with both these
sections and now comes the third section
and why I have not put uh like the data
with respect to my IDE
is last year I provided a template okay
for smart India 2023 like what all you
can do and most of I won't say most of
you many of you had submitted the same
template and in my evaluation is I got
around five PPS following the template
structure which I said see what I am uh
giving the knowledge is something which
you can adapt and see how you can add to
it it's not about directly taking my
idea and putting cuz it's my perspective
and being an evaluator what I'm going to
see and last year my videos were like
being a student participant or a student
winner this year every Insight of mine
is going to be comparing both as a
student participant and being an
evaluator and I have a high chance for
going as a finale judge this year okay
I'm just giving an overview and this
things if you want to discuss its
feasibility or impact in like this whole
slide personalized we'll be having
one-on-one sessions for that okay we'll
talk about it in the end before that
let's cover this session as an overview
okay so what does feasibility and
viability mean okay so these are the key
points which they analysis of the
feasibility of the idea feasibility
means it doesn't only cover one or two
perspective so I'm giving an overview of
what you all can do okay
technical feasibility what does
technical feasibility mean can you
actually develop this
product that is a major criteria there
are many teams who got into the finals
last year and couldn't complete the
product and because of that they could
not win or they got eliminated whatever
so keep that in your mind can you
technically build it okay next is
financial stability with respect to
software uh lot of AI tools are coming
out now so you would need subscription
for that and you you have to be budget
fully friendly okay keep that in mind so
that comes under the financial
feasibility can you actually get it done
or can you actually afford it now comes
the next two important criteria which is
like uh the actual meaning of this
hackathon okay so the market feasibility
say uh let's assume that technically and
financially you are feasible you have
already built the product can you
actually commercialize this product can
you actually sell this product that is a
very very very important criteria okay
keep that in mind so that comes under
the market feasibility that is the
business model okay then comes the
operational say after you have already
deployed it in the market how are you
going to handle it it may be your
Manpower or it may be how you are going
to take it as a business model these are
all s of the major financial and
feasibility criterias okay so keep all
this in mind when you make this slide
okay so in one-onone sessions we will be
discussing it in detail okay next comes
the potential challenges and risk this
are also the same what are technical
challenges say are having some uh
language encryption kind of uh language
translation kind of thing for that you
need an API for that API you have some
dependency and directly you cannot
access it that's a challenge right so
keep that in mind Financial challenge
simply the budget issues market so if
you're going through a market you have
10 competitors and you don't have a
proper strategy for breaking them or you
need to plan more those are some of the
potential challenges and risks which you
have to keep in mind this is an over
overview I'm not saying to use this
exact terms okay these are some of the
overview for you to know what this
section actually means next strategies
for overcoming these challenges is
something which is uh like even in any
interview they would ask that what is
your weakness or how you are going to
cover that it's just like that when you
know your risk you also have to have an
solution for that how are you going to
handle these challenges and risk for
that it may be some methods it may be
some strategies it may be some algorithm
whatever simple in smart India on 20 22
in the first round Reserve we were asked
for creating a new structure of an idea
in that time we had a huge challenge but
still we coped up with the strategy it
is say we used divide and conquer
strategy if you know what divide and
conquer means simple we had a game plan
where we split each work equally for
each team member without over stressing
out them okay and that's we what we call
divide and conquer and that's what
happened in s 2020 and that's how we
beat IIT Del to become the Champions
okay so this is the feasibility and
viability section now comes the impact
and benefit so what's the potential
impact that you're creating on your uh
target audience say it may be if say
some problem statements can actually go
directly to the consumer say a problem
statement that holds for Farmers uh
related uh thing I forgot what the
problem stat I rent through most of the
problem statements so it is a b2c or it
may be some business related problem
statement so these are all some things
which you have to consider okay so being
a target audience the problem statement
they have given what use you going to
provide to them what impact you're going
to provide to them okay so it may be an
economical impact maybe a beneficial
impact say simple let me explain with my
problem statement so it is OT so it is a
new technology this can replace OTP so
what all it can happen people at low
Network zones can have access to it
button phones are enough for high level
safety authentication we can uh abrupt
OTP hacking these are all some of the
positive impact say some of the negative
impact not about our product so it may
be any product that you are building say
you going to simple again we let's come
to ai ai integration for that you have
to adopt your product so that's a
technal adoption issue the cost these
are all some of the potential impact
that you're keeping try to keep it more
towards positive if you have negative
have a game plan for how you're going to
cope it up okay next comes what are the
benefit of your solution so this is the
end part which they are coming okay say
what is your solution going to create
once you have built it what is the
impact that's going to create so it may
be an economic impact it may be an
Environ maybe social say these are all
some of the points which you have
covered okay so just keep economical
means totally is going to be boosting
about the economy cost or Market the
impact you're creating those are all
some of the major things okay keep all
of this in mind and let me tell you this
year the entire PPD SL service and
evaluation criteria okay so uh we have
four evaluation criterias normally based
on your PPT your idea and solution you
have offered your technical feasibility
and your impact these four are the major
evaluation criterias and those four
evaluation criterias are the slides here
so keep that in mind and we have an
additional slide comparing to last year
those are the research and references
see when you're going for references
please please please please don't go for
local journals they won't even consider
it okay CU local journals have no
meaning it cannot be patented see simp
if you're doing for a college finally a
project colleges are forcing you to
publish a research paper no matter you
have actually done it or not okay so
these two are some of the world's best
journals okay so uh LC and science
direct have a look of them and you can
get a clear idea okay and this is all
about the SI idea submission PP okay and
now comes to the end surprise part which
we have said okay so uh we have covered
most of everything that uh we can do in
this entire video now in the last video
we have talked something called as
one-on-one mentorship okay and we had
wonderful sessions you can uh check out
the reviews as well of how our sessions
went we had our first session which
actually covered the road map of sh how
you can select the problem statement how
you have to form your team what is the
evaluation criteria the plans and
strategies for building a good uh road
map is what we discussed in the first
sessions and it went insanely good okay
and now we have come back with another
mentorship session and this sessions
will be covering the entire ppts and
strategies section okay so you're
winning PP how being an evaluator I
would evaluate with all the evaluation
criteria which I received last year
which is an add-on Advantage Plans and
strategies and While submitting we have
something called as additional documents
and YouTube video and these are all some
things which we are going to cover in
this entire session and this session is
going to be for more than 45 minutes
where you can bring your team in and
this is a complete new initiative which
no one has taken okay so we have planned
only limited slots maybe maximum 20 to
25 so we have already had 55 sessions
with respect to SS 2024 ideation and uh
we are glad to help you out for this as
well and this time for adding more slots
Mr vitri who is actually my partner for
winning smart inia on 2022 and we have
together won three national awards four
state Awards and he also will be joining
us in this Mentor sessions if my slots
are not available you can uh check it
out with him as well and uh we have
slashed down the entire price
considering to the timelines which we
are doing we have brought it down to 499
and this is only going to be for limited
slots okay CU with the timelin is ending
for smart India Aon PP submission and
I'm going for multiple colleges as speak
for talking about all these sessions so
hope to connect with uh each one of you
in the mentorship sessions you can
anyway you can drop down your comments
okay that's not at all a problem we will
guide us guide all of you in the best
possible way we can okay and all the
best and uh meet you in the next video
