My Unforgettable Journey to IIT Bombay – Techfest 2023

Attending Techfest 2023 at IIT Bombay was a dream come true. The energy, the environment, and the sheer scale of the event were beyond anything I had imagined. I participated in exciting events like the Drone Race, Robowars, and tech games that tested my creativity and problem-solving skills.

HackAI: A Highlight of the Experience

One of the most intense and rewarding parts of the fest was HackAI, a 12-hour-long hackathon where I gave my all and proudly made it to the finalists. It was a non-stop journey of building, learning, and thinking under pressure, surrounded by brilliant minds.

Campus Life and New Friendships

Staying in IIT Bombay’s premium hostels gave me a real feel of student life at the institute. I explored the peaceful Powai Lake, walked through different hostels, and experienced a calmness that felt like being in another world.

I also attended an AI/ML workshop, where I met some amazing people—Om from Maharashtra and Hemal from Gujarat—who made my journey smoother and more enjoyable. Together, we learned, laughed, and made the most of every moment.

Thank You for the Memories

A big thank you to Rohit Kourav from the organizing team for making my stay so smooth and welcoming. Thanks also to Om and Hemal for being great companions during the fest, and to my talented photographer friend Ibrahim, who captured the beautiful moments of this journey.

Looking Ahead

Techfest 2023 gave me more than just memories. It gave me confidence, inspiration, and new goals. I left the campus not just with experience, but with a stronger desire to one day return, not as a participant, but as someone who belongs.
