Approximately 450 registrations culminated in 10 finalists, with every finalist receiving an internship offer at VELLOE \u2013 An EVOCS Company<\/em><\/p>\n

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 29: <\/strong>Velloe, an EVOCS company powered by Evolution Cloud Services Inc., has concluded Escape Velocity 1.0 \u2013 AI Hackathon<\/strong>. The campus technology challenge gave final-year engineering students the chance to solve practical problems using Artificial Intelligence and modern technologies, and to show how they think beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n

Organised in association with Hackbriven<\/strong>, the hackathon attracted approximately 450 registrations<\/strong> from multiple engineering colleges across Noida. The response showed strong interest from young technologists who want more hands-on exposure to Artificial Intelligence and real-world problem-solving.<\/p>\n

As Artificial Intelligence reshapes how businesses operate and how software is built, what employers expect from young engineers is changing quickly. Escape Velocity was designed around the skills that matter in that environment: understanding a problem clearly, knowing when and how to apply Artificial Intelligence, making sound technology choices, building for scale and responsible use, and communicating an idea effectively.<\/p>\n

Participants moved through multiple evaluation rounds. From approximately 450 registrations, 100 students were shortlisted, and 30 advanced to Round 2<\/strong>. The process ended with 10 finalists<\/strong> presenting their solutions to Velloe\u2019s leadership jury. Many of these solutions used Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to automate workflows, generate insights from data, and improve decision-making.<\/p>\n

The final jury included Arvind Sharma, Chief Executive Officer; Sumit Kumar, Chief Technology & Innovation Officer; and Abhinav Vashishtha, Senior Director at Velloe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Projects were assessed on technical approach, problem definition, effective and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence, feasibility, scalability, business relevance and presentation. The final session also gave participants direct feedback from senior technology leaders on both their ideas and their approach to solving the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we wanted to understand through Escape Velocity was not simply who could build the most impressive solution,\u201d<\/em> said Arvind Sharma, CEO, Velloe<\/strong>. \u201cWe wanted to see how students approached an unfamiliar problem, the questions they asked, and how they turned an idea into something practical. In a world increasingly shaped by Artificial Intelligence, that judgement matters as much as the technology itself, and it is much closer to what they will experience in the industry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

After the jury\u2019s deliberation, the top three were announced:<\/p>\n
