Views of team leader !!!

       We were shortlisted based on our PPT submitted, in the ratio of 1:20 for the ideation program , after which based on further scrutiny we were selected for the pre final round i.e., Boot camp where we were allowed to interact with specialists from the field of 'Entrepreneurship' and were also allowed to present our Idea. We were not selected for the final round, but our journey throughout TNSI 2019, turned out to be fruit of comprehensive knowledge and great experience!
