🚀 Hackathons 2025 Powerplay: PPT Phase – Present Like a Champion

Most teams don’t lose in ideation. They lose here - in the PPT & demo round.

Why? Because even great ideas fall flat when they’re poorly presented.

I’m Gamaliel Das - 8× Global Hackathon Winner, SIH 2022 Champion, Official SIH Evaluator (2023 & 2024), and mentor of 1000+ teams across 75+ Hackathons - and I’ve seen first-hand how presentations make or break a team’s chances.

In this 30-minute deep-dive session, I’ll give you the exact blueprint judges look for:

✅ PPT Mastery Framework – How to design slides that judges actually remember (clarity > clutter).

✅ Storytelling That Sells – Turning your tech solution into a narrative judges connect with.

✅ Demo Video Strategy – 2-4 minutes that show impact, not just features.

✅ Evaluator’s Perspective – Secrets from the judge’s table: what gets skipped, what gets shortlisted.

✅ Do’s & Don’ts – Real examples of common mistakes vs. winning practices.

✅ Action Checklist – A ready-to-use structure for your PPT & video.

But let’s be clear: SIH isn’t just about winning — it’s about learning and building. This session is not a shortcut to victory and we won’t deep dive into your idea itself. Instead, it’s about validating your PPT strategy, structure, and delivery with an evaluator’s perspective, so you can showcase your idea in the strongest possible way.

⚡ With these tactics, you’ll go beyond just “submitting a PPT” → you’ll deliver a championship deck & demo that speaks for itself.

👉 Remember: Your idea is yours — our role is to validate, refine, and align it with what evaluators look for.

🎯 Don’t let months of hard work get buried in a weak presentation. Let’s make your PPT & demo the weapon that gives your team the edge in any hackathons like SIH 2025 — while ensuring you grow, learn, and present like true innovators.
