The top three winning teams of the coding hackathon, chosen by Microsoft India on Monday based on their impact and innovation, were from Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Wipro, and IndusNet.
The winning teams will be given cash prizes and special invitations to the January 5 Future Ready Technology Summit in Bengaluru.
"India's developer community is one of the youngest and fastest growing in the world and we continue to empower them with the richest set of technologies and platforms to enable their dreams and to build for the future," Aparna Gupta, Executive Director, Customer Success, Microsoft India, said in a statement.
Ambarish Ganguly of TCS took first place, the company reported. He used Azure Cognitive Services and AI to design an agriculture hub that acts as a one-stop shop for farmers, helping them grow better crops, increase yield, and improve the quality of their lives with a cutting-edge and user-friendly smart solution.
The two-person Wipro team that finished in second place developed a cutting-edge smart-search solution utilising Azure Cognitive Search Service to demonstrate how to optimise search operations and increase employee engagement, productivity, and operational expenses.
The third-placed team from IndusNet, which consisted of five developers, used Azure IoT Services to design a Smart Commercial Vehicle Tracking System. Fleet management firms may increase productivity and maximise their return on investment thanks to the system's real-time monitoring of moving cars, according to the company.
The programme, which was introduced in December 2022, gave developers industry-recognized skills and competences in digital and cloud technologies.
According to the firm, over a million developers took part in the programme to earn Microsoft certifications.
Government and business partners like AICTE, NASSCOM, ICT Academy, and Foundit also provided support for the programme.
Additionally, as part of the programme, developers took part in a national hackathon titled "Innovate for India's Growth."
