During the event, you’ll learn how to network with like-minded individuals from different colleges across India and build an app to solve a real-world problem as a small group.
The winning team will get a summer internship opportunity with LinkedIn Bangalore. The teams also get an opportunity to compete for exciting prizes & LinkedIn SWAGS all while attending fun activities & more.
