  • Explanation (Business Model): We have seen in certain cases that candidates come up with Idea along with the actual plan on how they can convert prototypes/ideas into a business in the near future. Hence, we had put the business angle. However, we can check if we shall use this parameter as measurable metrics.
• Viability in Indian context.
• What technological platforms candidate has tried to cover? The more technological platforms covered, the more number of potential users of the idea
