Sponsored by the National Policy Forum and organized by the newly formed Think Tank and Research Committee (TTRC) of the Student Welfare Council (SWC), the hackathon was a revolutionary initiative in the field of law.

Participants were tasked with addressing e-commerce issues. The three finalist teams, LH 11, LH 13, and LH 19, presented policy papers and faced rigorous questioning from esteemed experts including Mr. Pawan Acharya, Mr. Alok Subedi, and Mr. Rastra B. Timalsena. LH 11, composed of Amshu Wagle and Samasti Magar, emerged victorious.

The event concluded with a crisis management round, where teams navigated a hypothetical scenario involving foreign e-commerce companies, local protests, and data privacy issues, showcasing their strategic thinking and problem-solving skills."
