Live updates from Conquest 2007: Part 1

We're having the Grand Finale of Conquest 2007 tonight. I'm sitting here (silently) listening to the finalists pitch their idea to our judges (Ashmeet Siddana and Sujit Panigrahi). (We have some strong NDAs here; so I really can't tell you how rigorously Ashmeet and Sujit are examining the plans, but the presenter is actually sweating!).

We have the Audi round this evening (8 pm, BITS auditorium). Exciting times ahead!

(Ok. Presenter has finished his presentation (Soltec, from VIT Pune). Sujit is asking more questions. Prototypes being handed out. Winning Conquest 2007 sure won't be easy!)

Off to take a snap of the team...

Back!

Think the NDA requires me to take permission to post a snap. Damn. Will post again soon.

PS: In other news, we had two Workshops yesterday (On "Starting up and taking the leap" by Kunwar Sachdev (Principal, SuKam Power Solutions) and Manish Vij (CEO, Quasar Media) and on "Scaling up in a globalized world". And were we elated with the response! More than 150 participants, and a Q&A session that would have lasted forever, if we hadn't cut it short! Lots of interest in knowing about valuations, starting up after college, and climbing Mt. Everest (That's Ashmeet. The first BITSian to do so!)
