The 40 participating teams are asked to submit the solutions they have developed in the given format. The submission of the Coopathon solution comprises of two parts, which are:

2. A pitch video - Preferably by Loom

The teams will be asked to come up with pitch video explaining the problem and the proposed solution. It would a short video of less than 5 minutes. Loom is an excellent tool that can be used to create such pitch videos with ease.
