innovative and disruptive technology concepts that can help solve real-world
business problems that the insurance industry faces today and will face in the
future.
“As

calls upon the most creative engineering minds across India to
outshine each other with their design skills and ability to solve tangible
business issues facing the industry. Thousands of teams from various companies,
startups, and academia will compete in a non-stop 30-hour virtual hackathon.
The top 50 ideas will be shortlisted and the top 6 teams can win cash prizes
worth USD 7000, and get a chance to work with a global brand and have their
idea considered for Insurity’s product roadmap.
Elaborating
on the hackathon, Sumit Sood, senior vice
president and head of APAC, GlobalLogic said, “30Hacks is an annual
