Recently, HCL held our very first Volt MX Hackathon. The Hackathon, which ran for eight weeks, saw over 4,300 registrations from students and professionals from around the world. There were many great submissions that both made for very difficult judging and demonstrated that Volt MX can be picked up by people with no prior experience and used to build very compelling and beautiful apps in a matter of hours.
Now, we’re thrilled to announce that the winners of this exciting competition are…
First Place: Team Visionary Youth – Wishy
The Wishy app lets you register your contacts’ birthday, anniversaries, and the like and sends them e-greetings to recognize these occasions. It was developed by one college student from India.
