#CODE19INDIA

The Motwani Jadeja Foundation and MITLI is bringing together the best minds in a 72-hours online hackathon event called #CODE19INDIA to find solutions to India’s challenges against the menace of Coronavirus. The event will empower participants to collaborate with mentors, subject matter specialists, data sources and a network of collaborators in the quest for solutions against Covid-19. This 72-hours non-profit online hackathon aims to create open-source projects that help solve the most pressing problems of the current crisis in India. We want to build on existing solutions and technologies for efficiency and to enable sustainable impact after the hackathon to take projects to the next level and implement them for our daily lives and work.

The Initiative by MJF and MITLI

The Motwani Jadeja Foundation and its think tank MITLI supports a global network of influential thought leaders, academics, government officials and technology industry innovators. To overcome the challenges of COVID-19, we enable the collaboration, expertise, and skills of several thousand technological partners, scholars, innovative minds and specialists.

COVID-19 has developed into a global crisis. In a relatively short period, with one of the world's largest network of international technology specialists, MITLI can bring together unique crowdsourced ideas to save our planet.

Although COVID-19 is a global problem, we would like to focus on solutions developed for or from India.
