On the D-day, we encountered technical glitches in the opening moments of the presentation, putting our resilience to the test. Nevertheless, our thorough preparation became apparent as we skillfully handled questions within the allocated time. The nail-biting wait for results ended in celebration—our ticket to the National Finals of the Amazon Ace Challenge was secured.
Our encounter with a amusing naming hiccup on Unstop became an amusing story in itself. Initially assigned a system-generated team name 700998-U74VH63L, which during the result announcement was referred to as an affinity with Elon Musk as if we named it like Elon Musk named his child. We later christened ourselves Team ADAM (Aishwarya, Deepankar, Anshul, Mounica) for the finals.
In a surprising turn of events, our team secured the highly sought-after first slot for the finals, aligning perfectly with our chosen name, ADAM. Despite facing an onslaught of questions beyond the stipulated time even, the experience enriched us with knowledge. Despite a temporary disappointment from the results, our return to campus was marked by a treasure trove of knowledge, experience, and a bond forged within the team— a team that went from being new faces in college to some of the best people I have come across.
