The event was conceived to acknowledge fresh ideas around the concept of delivery that could improve and add value to the customer experience. The idea was to advance the participants’ solution prototypes, which would help solve a few real world problems.

The four problem statements seeking tech-driven solutions were Need for Speed – Most wanted, Building a consistent customer experience, The travelling customer problem and A happy fleet delivers happy experiences. The participants had the liberty to choose a problem statement of their choice and were also assigned industry leaders and subject matter experts as their mentors to guide them throughout the process.
