Yet, each year the budget is beyond the comprehension of many of us. We are unable to cut through the chaff and understand what impact it has on our day to day life.

FORMAT :
Moneycontrol is at the forefront in engaging audiences with our budget coverage. And this year it’s your opportunity to be part of our Budget 2018 story. Take on a challenge to collaborate and create a novel prototype in each of these segments.

Spend an entire weekend innovating and collaborating. Hear from and network with some of the best minds in Fintech. And most importantly, the winning team can see their output come alive on Moneycontrol. Ofcourse there is a prize money of INR 4 lakhs for first place and INR 2 lakhs for the runner-up up for grabs. Plus loads of other goodies!

A distinguished jury comprising of Moneycontrol’s internal decision makers as well as industry leaders will evaluate the products built by the teams. 2 teams will be shortlisted and move to the post Hackathon phase.

The criteria for selection :
The product should be a cutting-edge information dissemination and decision-making tool for customers around the budget. Once the shortlists are announced, the Moneycontrol product team will collaborate extensively with these 2 teams further for the next 45 days and then one product will be launched on Moneycontrol on budget day. Read more about the problems, we want you to solve.
