Gaining Momentum

The project represents a digital marketing agency based in Pune, India, rather than a scalable technology product. The submission relies on significant hyperbole (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' have used the product), which contradicts the verifiable online footprint of a small-to-mid-sized local agency (approx. 4 Google reviews). The claimed 'marketcap' of 17,000,000 is unverified and likely confuses currency (INR vs USD) or entity (confflating with the Chicago-based 'Impact Engine' VC firm). As a service-based business with no distinct proprietary technology evident, it scores low on innovation and global utility.
