52,000 developers. 31,000 teams. One of them is ours.
Huge congratulations to Omkar Kadam (Dept. of IT) for securing 7th place at the Meta PyTorch OpenEnv Hackathon Grand Finale in Bangalore. Known as India's biggest AI hackathon, the event was sponsored by Meta, PyTorch and Hugging Face, and powered by Scaler School of Technology.
Only the top 800 teams qualified for the on-campus finale, where they pitched their work directly to Meta engineers. Omkar's team finished in the top 7, walking away with a $2,000 prize, recognition from Meta and Hugging Face, and an interview opportunity with their AI teams.
