Each member of these top three teams has won an internship at Virtusa where they will undergo training and work on industrializing their products and ultimately will get absorbed and receive full-time employment offers.

In addition to full-time employment, four winning teams will each take home INR 1,00,000 each, along with five runners-up each taking home INR 50,000. Further, the top three winning teams will receive special prizes including smart watches and Bluetooth headsets.

Lauding the efforts made by the students, Dr. Ashwin Sadasiva Kumar, Senior VP, Capability Transformation & Operations Head, Virtusa said “The resounding success of Jatayu last year encouraged us to organize it this year with topical subjects around metaverse. Its heartening to witness 4 times participation in the hackathon where students displayed exceptional approach and commitment. It was a very tough call to arrive at the winners as each team was neck to neck in their performance, methodology and approach. While students have access to theoretical knowledge, they got to experience and work on real life problems. In addition, we are thrilled to offer internships to the deserving students to work with the best-in-class and be part of the Virtusa success story.”

Mr. Venkatesan Vijayaraghavan, EVP and Global Leader – Technology and Service Lines, Virtusa said, “To Thrive in this digital era and the rapidly changing industry environment, students today need to learn first-hand about emerging technologies. The idea of Jatayu was born as a solution to this challenge. The competition is designed to attract the best talent from our partner institutes and where we provide individuals with the industry exposure and training that ultimately allows them to excel. By giving them the opportunity to get hands-on training with these innovative technologies, we not only help each student become industry-ready, but we also present them with full-time job offers. Our vision is to foster innovation by partnering with academia through a controlled and integrated environment, while Virtusa provides mentorship to students on domain and NexrGen Technologies.”
