The motive of gathering all like-minded hackers to our alma mater led to the creation of the idea in NITK Surathkal, the first of its kind. We provide a platform for innovations where developers can test and showcase their potential to the best of their abilities. The hackathon also comprises keynotes and workshops by executives from the industry.”
