WINNER — Government of India
Built an offline-capable rural banking platform using USSD for keypad phone users with zero internet. Scam-prevention, fraud-reduction, full security architecture — presented to a government evaluation panel. ✅ Solution approved by the Government of India ✅ Addresses financial inclusion for millions of unbanked users |
3RD PLACE — National Level Built a DRM Anti-Piracy System — real-time licence verification, encryption at rest and in transit, tested against bypass and tampering attacks. Competed against teams from across India. ✅ Fully functional DRM prototype delivered ✅ 3rd place among national-level competitors |
