Hey All…!! Yes, this week’s mission was to win the google t-shirt by successful production of my “XIME Placement Bot”. Yes, I proudly told last, that my bot got rejected, but that proud was because I was in no mood of giving up and hence I tried again and again and submitted for review again. Many of my friends’ bot got approved so it motivated me in not giving up and trying again. Well, the reason for my bot’s rejection was invalid privacy policy and mic was left open idle. So for now I have rectified the issue and waiting for the review mail from Google.

Apart from the bot, in the previous week’s ENT class, we also got to know about fundings for our startup and got to know about IAN (Indian Angel Network). Yes they are angels for startup as they help them by funding. I figured out a company “Ridlr” which was funded by IAN and I had also tried contacting its co-founder — Mr. Brijraj Vaghani so that I can get to know more about their company and how they managed to get funds at the initial stage. Now since we were developing our Assistant bot since many days, so I had planned to talk to Mr. Ritesh Radhakrishnan, who is CTO of Senseforth Technologies, the one who created EVA (Electronic Virtual Assistant) for HDFC Bank. It is just so that I can get more insights and idea to improve my bot. Also I will try connecting with the Co-Founder of Haptik, a bot creator, Mr. Aakrit Vaish.

And yeah, we had a video call interaction with Mr. Shameel Abdulla, Co-founder and CEO of Clootrack. It was great to have him with us. I still haven’t figured out why he accepted my friend’s LinkedIn request and rejected mine..!! :P :P :P
