Behind the Scenes of Our Annual Tech Hackathon

Sathish By  December 20, 2025

Hello everyone!

Building a strong brand is like solving a big, exciting puzzle. Every business, big or small, wants to be known and loved by its customers. But how do you stand out in today’s busy world? That’s where smart thinking and quick action come in. Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of something special we do – what we call our “Innovation Sprints”. Think of it as our version of a “Tech Hackathon”, but focused entirely on solving real-world marketing and sales challenges for businesses, especially here in Tamil Nadu.

Why We Run These Innovation Sprints

In places like Chennai, Coimbatore, and Madurai, businesses face unique challenges. Maybe a local grocery store wants more people to know about their home delivery. Or a small snack brand wants to reach younger customers online. These are real problems that need quick, clever solutions. Our Innovation Sprints are designed to do just that – find smart answers fast.

Here’s why they are so valuable:

  • Fast Problem Solving: We don’t wait weeks for answers. We get to work right away.
  • Fresh Ideas: We combine different minds to get new and exciting ideas.
  • Real-World Impact: Our goal is always to help our clients make more sales, find more customers, or build a stronger brand.

How Our Innovation Sprints Work (Simply Put!)

Imagine a day where our smartest people get together, just like a sports team preparing for a big match. Here’s what happens:

  1. We Pick a Challenge: We start with a real problem faced by one of our clients. For example, “How can ‘Avan Kadai’ in Chennai get more online grocery orders?”
  2. The Team Gathers: We bring together our marketing experts, sales champions, and even folks who understand simple technology.
  3. Brainstorming Storm: Everyone shares ideas. No idea is too silly! We think about how simple tech tools, like WhatsApp, local social media, or easy websites, can help.
  4. Quick “Test Run”: We quickly figure out if an idea can actually work. It’s like drawing a quick sketch before painting a big picture.
  5. Client Implementation: If the idea looks good, we then help our client put it into action. We guide them step-by-step.

Real Stories from Tamil Nadu – Ideas That Worked!

We believe in showing, not just telling. Here are some simple examples of how our sprint ideas helped businesses right here in our backyard:

Case Study 1: “Avan Kadai” – Boosting Online Grocery in Chennai

The Problem: Avan Kadai, a popular local grocery store in Anna Nagar, Chennai, started a home delivery service. But not many people knew about it, and online orders were low.

Our Sprint Solution: Our team quickly suggested a two-part plan:

  • WhatsApp Magic: We helped them set up a simple WhatsApp business account. They started sending daily updates about fresh vegetables and special offers to their existing customer list. This was easy to do and reached customers directly on their phones.
  • Local Facebook Ads: We designed very simple Facebook ads targeting people living within a 3km radius of their store. The ads clearly showed “Free Home Delivery in Anna Nagar!”

The Result: Within weeks, Avan Kadai saw a 30% jump in online orders. Customers loved the direct updates and felt more connected. This simple tech solution helped them build a stronger bond with their local community.

Case Study 2: “Ruchi Bites” – Snack Brand Goes Viral in Coimbatore

The Problem: Ruchi Bites, a tasty local snack brand from Coimbatore, wanted to reach younger people and boost their online sales. They were famous locally but not much online.

Our Sprint Solution: We realized that young people spend a lot of time on social media. Our idea was to use simple, short videos:

  • Reels & Shorts Fun: We helped them create fun, short video clips (like Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts) showing how their snacks are made, or funny situations where people enjoy them.
  • Local Influencer Connect: We found a few popular college students in Coimbatore who loved snacks. They made videos trying Ruchi Bites and shared them with their friends.

The Result: Ruchi Bites’ social media pages exploded! Their short videos got thousands of views, and they saw a significant increase in online orders from across Coimbatore. They became the “cool” snack brand among youngsters.

Case Study 3: “Vasantham Tours” – More Travel Leads in Madurai

The Problem: Vasantham Tours, a well-known travel agency in Madurai, was getting fewer calls for their tour packages, even though their tours were great.

Our Sprint Solution: We thought about how people dream about travel. Our idea was to make it fun and easy for them to find their perfect trip online:

  • Online “Dream Trip” Quiz: We helped them put a simple quiz on their website. Questions like “Beach or Mountains?”, “Adventure or Relaxation?”, “Family or Friends trip?”.
  • Instant Trip Ideas: After the quiz, it would suggest a perfect tour package from Vasantham Tours and ask for their contact details to send more info.

The Result: The quiz was a hit! Vasantham Tours started getting twice as many new enquiries every week from people who were genuinely interested. This simple interactive tool made finding a holiday exciting and brought them more customers.
