One of the biggest generative AI (Gen AI) hackathons in the world will take place in Mumbai, bringing together more than 2,000 engineers.
The largest Gen AI Hackathon in India, ‘MumbaiHacks,’ is being organised by the Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM) and Made in Mumbai in collaboration with NVIDIA, Meta, Quantiphi, and ATLAS SkillTech University.
NVIDIA’s flagship AI Summit, one of only three international conferences along with those in Washington, D.C., and Japan, will kick off Mumbai’s historic AI Week this month. Then, there will be the much anticipated ‘MumbaiHacks.’
“As Gen AI’s impact expands, this event will bring together the brightest minds to tackle today’s most pressing challenges. Positioned at the heart of one of India’s most dynamic tech ecosystems, MumbaiHacks will be a catalyst for cutting-edge innovation and a game-changer for the future of technology,” said Aakrit Vaish, co-chair of the Tech Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM), advisor to the India AI Mission, and co-founder of Haptik.
In its two years of existence, TEAM has continuously pushed the envelope to establish Mumbai as a major worldwide centre for technology. “MumbaiHacks” will greatly support these initiatives. In order to ensure a comprehensive approach to AI innovation informed by a wide range of perspectives, TEAM is dedicated to democratising the advancement of Gen AI innovation by bringing together not only engineers and developers but also important stakeholders from policy, politics, civil society, law, non-profits, business, the creative arts, film, and journalism. This will enable the development of solutions that are both significant and far-reaching.
The third edition of “MumbaiHacks,” which is becoming bigger and more influential every year, keeps raising the city’s tech profile. The hackathon has a new format this year, featuring a jury of prominent figures from the industry, such as journalist Faye Dsouza, Aakrit Vaish, advisor to IndiaAI, and co-founder of Good Glamm Group.
