MakeMyTrip is hosting a hackathon to invite enthusiastic developers to build innovative applications using technologies like IOT, Bigdata which can help travelers to search, compare and book flights, hotels and bus on the go. The application could be a web application, mobile/tablet application, or a desktop application.

The hackathon will be a combative task in which students/academicians from multiple colleges across India will be taking part in.

You can participate in this hackathon individually or as a team of up to 2 people.

This hackathon will be conducted in 2 phases:

  • The first phase will be online, where the submitted applications (during the duration of the hackathon) will be evaluated by MakeMyTrip Team and the top ones will be shortlisted.

  • In the second phase, shortlisted teams will be invited to an offline event at Bangalore where they get to demonstrate and present their application in front of a panel of judges. Winners will be announced on the same day.

There are great prizes to be won and also candidates shortlisted stand a chance to be hired by MakeMyTrip.

In the last 5 years, many offline services have been enhanced by the power of mobile internet. Over the counter, ticketing has drastically reduced, with the advent of internet ticketing and fragmented industries, like bus travel have also benefitted from aggregation services. Then came itinerary planning and location-based recommendations and before you knew it, there was a whole suite of tech products for the traveller. Now, there are computers on vehicles - some so powerful that they don’t need a driver. Travel technology, coupled with IoT and other already existing technology services can add a lot more value for the traveller. Better Enroute recommendations? Or even a simple music player that chooses genres based on a place or people you’re travelling with? There’s a lot that you can do.
