Hi Ritvvijj, will the data be open sourced? Would be great if it was available for other groups as well

Hello Sagar + Others,

What happened? The data was not open since it is real transaction / customer data. In fact, we had to postpone the Hackathon due to security issues. 

Good news! The security issues / processes are finally fixed.

Date/Time: 

• 6th or 7th May (90 minutes): Orientation webinar
• Sample DB will be shared 2-3 hours prior to the webinar, so that participant can analyze the database structure and schema. 
• During the webinar, they will walk through: a) 10 minutes on the data schema b) Process walkthrough c) Current state of the data d) Participants questions based on sample DB shared with them earlier e) Q&A session
• The session will be primarily used to confirm goals, deliverable and technology parameters, identify potential user challenges, wants and needs.
• May 9, 10: Hackathon
• May 15: Presentation to corporate partner via Skype  

Security:

• Participants need to sign a self-declaration on data security and time commitment. 
• Participants will be provided data over a DB server connection (Oracle) and App Servers. These servers will be exposed to only Zone Startups IP address.
• Participants cannot download / take backup of the data. 

Awards:

• First prize: Rs. 1 Lakh 
  
• Second prize: Rs. 50,000 
  
• If insights are found useful, the corporate partner can chose to engage long term for a full scale commercial project.
