The NorthCap University’s student represents India at Ultrahack

Gurugram: It was the summer of 2007, when septuagenarian Harish Chandra Jain of Alwar (Rajasthan) decided to gift a computer to his grandson! Nobody knew that the then Class-VII student of Alwar Public School would add many feathers to the cap of his engineering college one day.

The third-year B. Tech (Computer Science) student Pranav Jain of The NorthCap University represented India at prestigious Ultrahack, held at Helsinki (Finland).

Besides being selected for Ultrahack, a global three day Hackathon with a goal to bring the developers, startups and corporations together for solving world-class challenges with the latest technologies, Pranav was also invited there to Slush conference – one of the Europe’s largest technological event. At Ultrahack, Pranav shared an idea to create a platform where people/patients can register for clinical trials, which appears beneficial to pharmaceuticals companies in future. Incidentally, he was also authorized to conduct Ultrahack in India. He has been invited to attend the Ultrahack which would be held again in Finland in April 2017. He has also been assigned to bring the winners of the Hackathon (which he would conduct in India) to the Ultrahack which would be held in April 2017.
