Largest Gen AI hackathon in Mumbai; over 2,000 developers to participate

Over 2,000 developers will gather for one of the world's largest generative AI (Gen AI) hackathons, to be held in Mumbai.

The Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM) and Made in Mumbai, in partnership with NVIDIA, Meta, Quantiphi, and ATLAS SkillTech University, are set to host India’s largest Gen AI Hackathon—'MumbaiHacks'.

Mumbai will host a landmark AI Week this month, starting with NVIDIA's flagship AI Summit—one of just three global conferences, alongside Washington, D.C., and Japan—followed by the eagerly awaited ‘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.
