Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 9:<\/strong> <\/span>MumbaiHacks\u00a02025, organized by the Tech Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM)\u00a0and Made in Mumbai, a non-profit developers community,\u00a0returns with its most ambitious edition yet, challenging India\u2019s brightest tech minds to harness the power of Agentic AI. Scheduled for November 28-29, 2025 at NESCO Mumbai, the hackathon will offer up to \u20b950 lakhs worth of prizes and rewards for teams that can build intelligent, autonomous models capable of solving real-world problems across three critical sectors,\u00a0Healthtech, Fintech and Misinformation.<\/p>\n

Following\u00a0its achievement of the Guinness World Record for the Largest Gen AI Hackathon last year,\u00a0MumbaiHacks\u00a02025 will shift its focus to the next frontier of artificial intelligence: Agentic AI. Unlike Generative AI, which creates content based on prompts, or traditional AI that follows pre-programmed rules, Agentic AI represents a paradigm shift towards autonomous systems. It can perceive their environment, make decisions, take actions, and continuously learn without constant human intervention. These intelligent\u00a0agents can proactively identify problems, devise strategies, and execute solutions, marking a transformative leap in how technology interacts with complex, real-world challenges.<\/p>\n

The hackathon provides participants access to capital, mentorship, and high-impact networks, empowering tech enthusiasts, early professionals, and future founders to build, launch, and scale their innovations. \u00a0It will feature three high-impact tracks, each focused on solving critical, real-world challenges through autonomous and\u00a0intelligent solutions. In the\u00a0Healthtech\u00a0track, participants will design predictive hospital management systems capable of responding to dynamic conditions such as festivals, pollution spikes, and epidemics. These agentic systems will analyze multiple data\u00a0streams to forecast patient surges and proactively recommend optimal staffing levels, supply allocations, and public advisories\u2014helping healthcare facilities stay prepared and resilient in times of uncertainty.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fintech\u00a0track will challenge teams to build adaptive financial coaching agents that learn from individual user behavior, synthesize diverse financial data sources, and deliver personalized, real-time recommendations. This innovation is particularly vital for gig workers, informal sector employees, and others with irregular income patterns who often remain beyond the reach of conventional financial advisory systems.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Misinformation\u00a0track will push innovators to create AI agents capable of scanning vast content ecosystems to detect emerging misinformation trends during crises; be it pandemics, conflicts, or climate events. These systems will verify claims through cross-referencing and generate accessible, contextual explanations to help audiences navigate a flood of conflicting information with\u00a0greater clarity and confidence.<\/p>\n

MumbaiHacks\u00a02025 exemplifies the city\u2019s rapid transformation into India\u2019s most dynamic startup ecosystem. With over 3,000 participants expected and backing from 85+ unicorns and\u00a0soonicorns\u00a0through TEAM, the event positions Mumbai as the next major tech and startup powerhouse. The city\u2019s entrepreneurial momentum is backed by impressive fundamentals: 67% of Mumbai\u2019s unicorns are profitable, (the highest in India) and AI-driven enterprises are projected to contribute 15% of the\u00a0city\u2019s GDP growth by 2035. With 250+ AI startups incubated at IIT-Bombay and top engineering institutions producing 35,000+ engineers annually, Mumbai is nurturing the next generation of AI innovators.<\/p>\n

Naiyya\u00a0Saggi, Governing Council Member, TEAM spokesperson shared,\u00a0\u201cAgentic AI is the technological intersection where innovation meets autonomy. Beyond standard content generation, we\u2019re building next-gen systems that think, adapt, and act independently to solve critical problems.\u00a0MumbaiHacks\u00a02025 will challenge and inspire participants to move beyond passive AI tools and create intelligent agents that can transform healthcare delivery, financial inclusion, and information integrity. This is a direct glimpse into the future of AI, replete with its possibilities, and Mumbai is leading the charge.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Open to participants over 18, the competition will follow a rigorous two-round format. Round 1, the online shortlisting phase running until October 17th, invites teams to submit their proposed solutions. Expert mentors will evaluate submissions based on innovation potential, pain points addressed, target audience, and go-to-market strategy. During Round 2 on November 28-29, shortlisted teams will bring their solutions to life, with the top teams from each track pitching to a panel of judges for their share of the \u20b950 lakh prize pool.<\/p>\n

The panel of judges for\u00a0MumbaiHacks\u00a02025 includes\u00a0PritiRathi\u00a0Gupta, Founder, LXME (Fintech Track);\u00a0Siddharth\u00a0Shah, Co-Founder,\u00a0PharmEasy\u00a0(Healthtech\u00a0Track); Arjun Vaidya, CEO, Dr. Vaidya\u2019s\u00a0(Healthtech\u00a0Track); Ashok\u00a0Hariharan, CEO,\u00a0IDfy\u00a0(Misinformation Track) and\u00a0Deepit\u00a0Purkayastha, Co-Founder & CEO,\u00a0Inshorts\u00a0(Misinformation Track).<\/p>\n
