Gone are the days where we hire looking at resumes. The future of any company is in finding the right talent and the only way towards identifying this, is through events such as these. We at Altimetrik have made it a practice to hire through Hackathons and Ideathons.
And thus, this synergy with IndiaHacks is only organic to our hiring culture that gauges talent against the best in the industry. IndiaHacks has already seen over 1,00,000 registrations from across the globe, and we’d like to make spot-offers to at least 150 of the top coders from this Hackathon. The team at Altimetrik is looking forward to a fresh batch of ‘Design Engineers’ from this hackathon.

We are witnessing some top class tech innovations coming out of India, and a slow movement from services to product development – and all of this requires world-class developers. IndiaHacks 2016 is an ode to such developers and also a platform to encourage programming.
