“We walked into MCB to have fun - and we did, oh so much. And we walked out swelling with pride - and hands full of goodies - ready to meet our family and friends to share the experience.”

Vidush H. Namah

“Such a joyous journey throughout the competition, and I will cherish those moments MCB enabled us to experience. Kafkaesque? Inovapp winner? Did we really win? Oh yeah! The team did it! And it felt like we were on top of the world.”

Soodeshna Bappoo

“It's funny to think back to then, and ponder upon the fact -The winners were about to be announced, and there we were, quite aloof, our inner self-critics discussing the little things that went awry, and what could be done about it in a possible future competition. A moment later, it was complete euphoria!”
