Hackathons Emerge as a Key Talent Gateway in India’s Rapidly Expanding AI Ecosystem
Hackathons are redefining how AI talent is identified in India by emphasising real-world execution, collaboration, and applied problem-solving over conventional academic credentials.
India’s AI talent discovery model is shifting as hackathons gain prominence over traditional degrees and credentials. With applied AI now central to innovation, organisations are prioritising platforms that test real world problem solving skills. Hackathons replicate modern AI development by forcing participants to work under tight timelines, unclear problem statements, and real constraints. This approach highlights execution, collaboration, and decision making, helping bridge India’s gap between academic training and industry ready AI capabilities.
