Infosys Ingenious 2018 National Winner Hariharan Kandaswamy's Story
The moment when we were declared the National Winners of Infosys Ingenious 2018, a wave of emotions swept over us. I felt a sense of accomplishment and was content with the efforts that we had put in. This was the competition we were hoping to and working hard to win. Infosys Ingenious has always been special for our B-School and we have been winning the same for 2-3 years now. Therefore, we wanted to keep the momentum going.
The preparation took us approximately 2 months. Furthermore, the most challenging part was the video presentation. It required us to put our entire vision into a single video! It was a great experience. People who weren't a part of our team also helped us. As a result, it created a beautiful creative space, not just between the 3 of us, but for the entire batch.
Our team's strengths were diversity and balance. Each of us was good at different things and together, we were able to bring in all the skills from various fields to achieve the ultimate goal. The team from SCMHRD Pune was probably our toughest competitor. Their plus point was a working website to support the project. It really added a lot to their presentation.
Infosys team had done a great job in structuring and organizing Ingenious 2018. Besides, the judgement coming from the esteemed panel of judges was of excellent quality. The judges considered each parameter before rolling out the results. Also, we got to know about the new upcoming projects of Infosys involving artificial intelligence and virtual reality which really intrigued me. I grew more interested in these fields. The best part was meeting Harsha Bhogle. That was like the cherry on the cake. Overall, everything was up to the mark. It was really an enriching experience. We couldn't have expected anything more!
