Announcing NitroStack Hackathon at Amrita University Amritapuri campus
A 48-hour build sprint to ship real MCP applications. The AI economy is being built right now — by people who start today. Will you be one of them?
The AI gold rush is happening right now
Every month you wait, 10,000 more engineers are learning to build agentic AI. The gap between those who act today and those who don't is widening faster than any previous tech shift. MCP is how AI agents talk to the world — and right now, barely anyone at your campus knows how to build it. That changes at this hackathon.
