Data Hackathons

Turn your bits into profits within a day

Hackathons are rapid and effective ways in developing a proof of concept or prototype, bringing thinkers and doers together for as short as a day and getting the creative juices flowing outside their daily routines and distractions. Used by software, web and app developers for years, they also provide great value in solving analytics problems. Data hackathons have a wide range of applications, from analyzing a simple business challenge through every possible angle to designing a new end-to-end analytics solution that redefines the way a company operates.

With our Gearshifter “Data Hackathons”, that run for 1 to 2 days, we bring key stakeholders in your organization together and equip them with the right tools and a creative environment to address a concrete business need. We help plan, organize and execute these results-oriented events incorporating learnings from the best hackathons around the world.
