Hackathons have always been a source of excitement, as they bring innovation to life and allow us to witness ideas in action! We are delighted that our Founder and CEO, Mr. Shyam Sekar, from Startup Xperts, had the privilege of being part of the Tech4Tomorrow Hackathon organized by the Chennai Institute of Technology. This remarkable event saw participation from hundreds of teams across various colleges, narrowing down to 20 exceptional finalists.

What made this Hackathon truly special was its focus on addressing the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) theme through unique ideas and prototypes.
