Funny story, I went to CRACCON, my first conference, and met a lot of amazing people. By the end of the event, I was about to go home, but then I called my friend Rounak premchandani, who was volunteering, and told him I was leaving. He said, “Don’t go yet, I want you to meet some amazing people.” So I went back and met more people. At that moment, thinking I was just going to chat with a few more folks, I saw Anant Inder Singh, a complete stranger at the time, sitting not far from me. I went over, and after a handshake, I got nervous. I completely forgot how to network. I said to him, “I’m bad at networking, I don’t know what to say next,” and we both laughed. After that, I ended up talking with a few “crazy” folks, Siddhant Tiwari, Atharva Barge, Anant Inder Singh, Himesh Fegade, and Mansi Monga. We kept talking until 8 PM since their train was at 9 PM, even though the conference had wrapped up at 4 PM. During our conversation, we first discussed my startup, Biscuit Security, and then their startup CypherLock. Suddenly, I told them that my startup wasn’t registered and that I was a bit confused about how to do it. So there we were, in the garden of the India International Centre (where CracCon25 was held), sitting on the floor in the dark, and they helped me register Biscuit Security under MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) right there. It was one of the craziest experiences of my life. Can you imagine complete strangers, whom I had met only three hours earlier, helping me register my startup? This just shows that conferences are really about meeting people, building connections, and sometimes even getting real work done together. #CracCon25 #StartupLife #BiscuitSecurity #Networking #Entrepreneurship #MSME #FoundersJourney #ConferenceStories #StartupRegistration #BuildingConnections #TechStartups #Collaboration #LearningByDoing #StartupCommunity

- Transparency Update - CypherLock is a community built around cybersecurity and blockchain, focused on organizing educational events and creating hubs for knowledge sharing and deep dives into security. Originally formed as a co-curricular club under Chandigarh University, CypherLock has come a long way, expanding into areas beyond just cybersecurity. We started off with one goal — to bring together like-minded people, break things, and improve the cybersecurity landscape at the university. Our friends at YAMA have done a great job facilitating and growing in a direction that complements that vision. For a while now, CypherLock has been operating as an independent entity — a registered business — facilitating and organizing events, partnering with other organizations, and working closely with various entities at Chandigarh University and across the country. In one such venture, we partnered with Broken Console in a sponsoring capacity to support their event "Broken Console: The Game Jam." ➡️ CypherLock’s total contribution for the event was ₹30,898. We believe in transparency, and as a currently negative cash flow entity, all finances were managed internally, without any external involvement. Thank you for your time.
