The Backstory

The Backstory

Archit and Sanjeev were roommates throughout their undergraduate studies at IIT Indore from 2010-2014. Joining a newly-created institute, both of them worked together to create IIT Indore's Programming Club, an amazing success story. Their team 'Paradigm Shift' won multiple competitive programming contests and represented India at the the 'Olympics of Computer Programming', the ACM ICPC World Finals in 2013 and 2014. Their performance in 2014 is still amongst India's best performances. They're especially glad that they kickstarted a strong competitive programming culture in IIT Indore which has seen the institute develop a reputation for quality Computer Science education and qualify for the World Finals 5 times in 11 years - including for ICPC 2023!
