We won the prize (5k Euros).

(I'm not sure how the extremely heavy trophy it came with will make it
across the world.)

I could only attend the final Stockholm Challenge awards banquet which
was modeled after the Nobel Prizes ceremony in Stockholm City Hall --
quite the fancy.  I met a few people: Ekgaon's CEO (Vijay) who didn't
know that we were friends with Tapan, P. Krishna Reddy who said he's
very busy with the government's all-India rollout of eSagu, Gujarat's
Director of Technical Education (a graduate of IIT-Delhi) who was
interested in linking Digital Green with their state extension system,
a Zambian who is the CEO of small enterprises project
(www.zamcom.smetoolkit.org) who might have some partnership
suggestions for Africa, and Mpesa.  Of these, Digital Green, the
Gujaratis, and Mpesa were the winners.
