The Digital Identity Research Initiative at ISB is excited to announce the PULSE Insights Hackathon as part of the IndiaPulse@ISB initiative. This weeklong hackathon is an opportunity for you to work with our team of researchers and distinguished faculty at ISB to develop powerful insights on the most pressing issue in the country.

At ISB, we have been building Pulse as a tool to lead the second generation of data driven, evidence-based governance initiatives across the country. Using a combination of spatial and temporal data from reliable and recognized sources, we develop interesting insights on various social and economic domains. Each week, we create and publish insights along with a short debrief video, focusing on economic activity, jobs, health, and skills.

Through this virtual hackathon, we are inviting the larger public to collaboratively develop insights with our team of researchers and faculty members over the next week. The hackathon is open to the general public, including members of the ISB community – students, researchers, alumni, and faculty. We would like to especially encourage machine learning and artificial intelligence enthusiasts, policymakers and data geeks to join us in this exciting weeklong competition.
