What is a hackathon?

Hackathons are a place where many passionate professionals or students in Technology and Business Development actively participate - form diverse teams, make their pitches, adds their expertise and work towards creating a solution.

It is one such opportunity where you make many new friends from diverse backgrounds whom you would have never met, and learn new things from mentors and teammates. Above all, Hackathons helps you to see a problem from multiple perspectives and arrive at a solution.
