Over the past year, EY has hosted hackathons in cybersecurity and risk domains. Now as India grapples with the enormous task of vaccinating 1.3 billion people against COVID-19, EY has launched the EY Techathon 2021: #iSolve4aBillion Challenge, a technology innovation challenge, aimed to engage the best technology minds in India. EY is inviting university students from all disciplines to come forward and develop novel solutions to immunize Indians, considering the challenges of the country’s vast geography, demographics and infrastructure. Participants will get to use the latest technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning and gamification, to develop a model immunization program across different spheres of supply chain, delivery, monitoring and vaccination. Along the way, students will learn EY’s technologies and platforms, and get to talk to subject-matter experts to learn ways of applying new digital paradigms to solve problems. The winner(s) stands to win exciting cash prizes, an opportunity for mentorship by EY leadership, work in EY’s Technology Consulting team and recognition on the national stage.
