What Happens To The Winning Startups?

Based on the scalability of the solution, the winning ideas are either modified or directly put into motion by the Department of Information Technology and Communication, Government of Rajasthan. Earlier in the last Hackathon 3.0 in December 2017, which was held in Udaipur and had received over 2,000 entries, a VR startup – Yeppar, won the second position.

In its solution for rural-based problems, the startup designed a 360-degree solution using virtual glass to enable a person sitting in the urban area to visit the rural space and understand the problem without actually going to the place. This project was modified and is in its building stage right now.

With the growing startup conscious ecosystem, innovation and technology have been going hand-in-hand across the country. Amid this, recognition of these three winning startups of Rajasthan IT Day 2018 at Hackathon 4.0 is a step forward for the scalability of these innovative ideas.
