Challenges we ran into

Our drive stemmed out of the exact problems we faced not more than a year ago, when we had to leave the comfort of our homes and step out into the world. All of us belong to Delhi, a city 6 hours away from Patiala, yet completely foreign in terms of culture. Given the ambitiousness of the idea itself, which was born out of combining 3 different ones while brainstorming, the problem we tackled was our technical expertise bottleneck. The execution of the same required a skillset far beyond the scope that could be expected out of a college sophomore.
