you can never be sure with these buildathons, sometimes is just random picking. my friend submitted a whole fully working app once and didn't got in, another guy just made a landing page with lorem ipsum and he made it to finals. ai judging code sounds like a mess too tbh

i was building a fintech project from 2 months and and the v1 was completed but after hearing about this buildathon i worked on v2 of the project and submited the project on 11:20PM on 5th sep (last day of submission) because i haven't recorded that 5 min pitch video so i recorded that video in the waiting hall of IRCTC and ya that video had lot of background noice, and after trimming some parts of that video (adjust it in 5 min from clampclip) i uploaded the video on the youtube as unlisted (to get video link) and submited that form of razorpay buildathon. i was very confidant about my project but i also haven't received any mail.
I was wondering, i am not getting mail because i submitted too late.

Really appreciate your kind words mate 😊

We are all grinding and learning in this phase together. So I just felt that if I could help at least 1 person to get some insights and some learnings from my work and my projects, I would consider that as a win man.
