India is now witnessing a slew of hackathons being organized by Governments, India Inc. and startups. India has become the 2nd largest technology innovation hub in the world with the rapidly changing industry dynamics and technological advancements. We, as a country, have witnessed a surge in technological adoption hosting a vast array of fields pertaining to advanced tech. With millions of newer jobs being created in the advanced technology space, India is massively lacking in skilled professionals to fill in these roles. Hence, early adoption of technology through STEM learning and using tools like hackathons, have been instrumental in helping the Indian youth to dive deeper into the fields of advanced technologies like Cryptography, Cybersecurity, Artificial intelligence among others. Some of the hackathons that happened recently are Microsoft- future ready application hackathon for developers and digital natives, Smart India Hackathon by Govt. of India - bringing in Prime Minister Modi as he stated “Indian innovations always provide the most competitive, affordable, sustainable, secured and at scale solutions. That is why the world is looking towards India with hope.”
