#behindthescene stories
In the realm of engineering colleges, where innovation thrives and knowledge flourishes, Tech fests serve as a captivating platform to showcase breakthroughs and empower aspiring minds. Let's take a journey back to the historical date of March 19, 2017, when an extraordinary chapter unfolded at the mesmerizing CONJURA event hosted by TKM College of Engineering , Kollam
?The Prototype Story
?Picture this: a group of ambitious minds gearing up for CONJURA. Their mission? To unveil a prototype that could potentially revolutionize the biotech realm. Little did they know, their very classmates would become the unsung heroes of this tale. As the team embarked on their quest, they faced a culinary conundrum - how to convert extracted algae into cookies for testing. Amidst the perplexity, Chippy Joy , a day scholar classmate, infused the magic of flour and essentials into the mix. But it was the collaborative efforts of DELVY ABEL , Gopika Menon , Rose Maria George and Silva Shihab that breathed life into the cookie prototype. These culinary visionaries, the pioneers of Zaara Biotech LLC 's proof-of-concept model, sculpted a delicious success story within their hostel's four walls. As the cookies emerged from the oven and found a home in airtight jars, the realization struck - dreams are nurtured by the collective support of the environment.
?Banners that Illuminate
The journey to innovation often begins with a vision. In the case of B-lite, this vision was immortalized by the artistry of Mr. Adarsh Vishnu PS . A classmate with an inventive mind and a knack for design, Adarsh wove the first Ad copies of B-lite from the threads of his creativity. These banners, a testament to sustainability and cost-effectiveness, showcased the essence of the project. Adarsh's white-cloth canvases became the vessels through which the project's evolution journeyed - from abstract idea to tangible innovation. These precious posters, a testament to collaborative creativity, continue to grace memory's gallery.
Zero-Investment Magic: Video Shoot
?Every venture has its challenges, and for B-lite, the challenge lay in crafting the perfect video to encapsulate their innovation. This is where the benevolence of Mr. Ananthu Das entered the spotlight. Armed with a camera and boundless enthusiasm, he guided the team through the intricate dance of videography. With Gopika Menon, Aakash, @Rakesh V R , and the narrator as the cast, weekends turned into video shoots and Ananthu's scooter transformed into a vessel of creation. Looking back, it's a testament to the colossal power of camaraderie and the lengths to which friends go to make dreams materialize.

?The Grand Event
The big day dawned, a culmination of relentless effort, sleepless nights, and boundless passion. With Aakash, Rakesh, and Abhay Raj, the team traversed through the night to showcase their brainchild at CONJURA. However, the event took an unexpected turn - a silence prevailed, with neither audience nor judges posing any questions. The assumption of victory was shattered when no mention was bestowed upon their groundbreaking innovation. Curiosity led them to approach one of the judges, only to discover that their biotech marvel had been lost in translation to a mechanical mind. The truth unveiled itself: the importance of catering the message to the right audience. From that moment on, a strategic shift took place, with B-lite aiming its spotlight on targeted gatherings. This pivot bore fruit as accolades flowed in from institutions across India, most notably from the esteemed SRM University Bioengineering Department.
