The registrations for Vihaan’17 have closed. E-mails, containing Instructions for the hackathon have been sent to the shortlisted teams. Kindly check your Inbox and Spam folders for the same. In case, a team member of yours hasn’t received an email, let us know by messaging our page.
The tracks for the Hackathon are as follows:
Natural Disaster: Natural disasters lead to a huge loss of life and property. Identify and design a possible solution for a natural calamity (earthquake, landslide, avalanche, cyclone etc.). The solution may be single user-focused, community-focused or administration focused, and may prove to be useful and effective before, during or after the natural disaster.
Fraud Risk Management: Fraudsters are becoming increasingly sophisticated and more efficient in identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities. Existing fraud risk management tools in India are using traditional techniques and have abundant silos of information which are prone to fraud risk. The bank is looking for an advanced analytics/AI based solution to manage these fraud risks.
Advertisements: The world of advertising is changing quickly. On the one hand, new advertising channels are rising, new ad formats are being developed and new targeting allows more and more efficient advertising campaigns. Together with you, we want to explore the future of advertising and help concepts to come to reality within 24 hours of extended hacking. Your mission is to develop new advertising technologies, targeting, tracking or personalization features.
Cyber-Security: Does the cybersecurity space get you going? Want to shake up the industry? Are you a hardcore coder? A regular Hackathon goer? Or a first timer? Whether you are a coder, developer, observer, or a mentor, build a solution which leads to innovations in cybersecurity. Whether it is detection of intrusions, or violation of policies, or some other problem which you feel requires attention, we invite you to build an application
Fighting Disabilities: The aim of technological innovations is to improve the lives of people. Build a solution which combats physical disabilities, may it be a simple application to ease navigation, or to recognize sign language or combating any other problem, which eases the lives of physically challenged people.
IoT and Blockchain: Integrate Internet of Things with blockchain technology, to build reliable, portable and innovative applications. The applications should be effective in real life problems, and tackle problems in day-to-day lives, thereby increasing productivity.
If you are planning to build a hardware-based solution, bring your own hardware and tools for the same.
