        •        Reverse Supply Chain Management for responsible drug disposal
        •        AI-Powered Predictions to optimize inventory levels

Grand Finale: The 36-hour hackathon at Sri Sairam Engineering College, Chennai, tested our skills and perseverance. Though we didn’t win, reaching the final stage was a testament to our innovation and hard work.

Key Takeaways:
        •        Simplicity and clarity drive impactful solutions.
        •        Teamwork and adaptability are crucial in tech innovation.
        •        Failure is a stepping stone to future success.

We thank our college, mentors, and teammates for their support and look forward to future challenges!
