My honest review;
For MC
- Tech Nation does not have a criteria for universities attended, hence I doubt this will matter much.
- There’s no details as to whether X & Y, although tech startups, are in a new field or solving a problem in a novel way.
- Tech Nation also currently does not have a criteria for participation in accelerators, except the ones that qualify candidates for fast track
- This point further buttresses OC3, as one example of demonstrating impact is in raising of funds.
- This point also speak to OC3
For OC1
- I think a proper explanation of this innovation will help this criteria
- Ditto this
I think your evidences for MC are weak, and will advise you re-apply (This is my personal opinion).
The assessors will want to see evidence of sustained recognition in your field. Speaking at high profile conferences, participating as a judge on a hackathon, receiving national awards, and strong recommendations from leading experts in your field…anything that demonstrates your recognition in your field as an upcoming talent.
For your 3rd recommendation, speak with the recommender to highlight his/her profile as a recognized pioneer in digital health in India. Remember that anyone who writes a recommendation must also be seen as an exceptional talent in Tech, so it will be good to bring his/her tech profile to the fore while writing for you. (This point is if you choose to re-apply)
