• Timely Deliveries : The solution must ensure that packages are delivered to the recipients in a timely manner, respecting their busy schedules and class timings.

• Secure Delivery : Security measures should be in place to verify the identity of the recipient, preventing unauthorized individuals from accepting packages on behalf of the students.

• Accountability : There should be a system in place to track packages and ensure accountability throughout the delivery process, reducing the chances of loss or misplacement.

• Cost-Effectiveness : The proposed solution should be financially viable, taking into account the budget constraints and resources available to implement the system.

• Scalability : The solution should be scalable, allowing for future growth and adaptability to accommodate increasing delivery demands efficiently.

• Collaboration with Delivery Agents : Students are encouraged to explore options for collaboration with Delivery Agents to enhance the delivery process, potentially leveraging their resources and expertise.

• Innovation : Uniqueness and creativity of the proposed solution.

• Feasibility : Practicality and viability of implementing the solution within the existing campus infrastructure and budget constraints.

• Effectiveness : The ability of the solution to address the key challenges and improve the overall delivery experience for students.

• Scalability : Potential for the solution to handle increasing delivery volumes as the campus grows.

• Collaboration : Quality of proposed collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

Participants are expected to submit a detailed proposal outlining their innovative solution, including implementation plans, cost estimates, and potential collaboration strategies. Additionally, a prototype or proof of concept demonstrating the proposed solution is encouraged to supplement the proposal.

Note:-

Participants are encouraged to think creatively and leverage their skills, knowledge, and resources to devise a solution that not only addresses the immediate problem but also serves as a model for optimizing in similar educational institutions. The winning solution will not only enhance the experience for IIT Bombay students but also inspire future innovations in the field of campus logistics.

The primary objective of this challenge is to devise a comprehensive, viable, and cost-effective solution that optimizes Parcel deliveries at IIT Bombay. The proposed solution should address the existing issues and ensure a seamless delivery experience for the students. Students are encouraged to explore various avenues, including technology, supply chain optimization, communication strategies, and collaboration with delivery agents, to develop an innovative and sustainable solution.
