Here\u2019s what Karan had to say about the weekend, \u201cReboot startup weekend rebooted my entrepreneurial aspirations, from knowing nothing about a technology to transforming it into a viable business and pitching it in front of real investors and entrepreneurs was a worthwhile experience. Winning it takes it to another level!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
