Recent surveys, such as the Bosch Tech Compass Survey 2025, highlight that more than 50% of Indians are taking the initiative in AI self-education. Prominent voices in the industry, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, recognize India as a vital hub of AI innovation, calling on the nation to lead the global AI revolution.

HackIndia 2025: Shaping the Future of Innovation

Building on the success of HackIndia 2024—which engaged 9,000 students from 50 universities in tackling Web3 and AI challenges—the HackIndia 2025 initiative is set to broaden its horizons. The upcoming program is strategically designed to involve 25,000 students, providing them with state-of-the-art technological tools, comprehensive learning materials, and expert mentorship. The program not only offers practical experience in problem-solving but also cultivates an entrepreneurial mindset and technical excellence among future innovators.

Through this transformative initiative, India is poised to enhance its AI capabilities and reinforce its standing as a global leader in technology. The partnership between HackIndia and SingularityNET symbolizes a critical investment in the next generation of innovators, ensuring a robust pipeline of talent in the fields of decentralized AI and blockchain technology.

The collaboration stands as a testament to India's commitment to technological self-reliance and innovation, promising a future where advanced AI and Web3 skills are within every student's reach.
