Calling India’s brightest: FinArva AI 2025 hackathon opens to redefine fintech with AI

May 9, 2025 - 08:06

AI is quietly but powerfully reshaping how industries operate, and in financial services, its impact is only just beginning to unfold. While automation and personalization are already enhancing how people interact with financial products, a bigger opportunity lies ahead: rethinking how these products are distributed in a way that’s intelligent, inclusive, and efficient. Achieving that calls for practical innovation, fresh perspectives, and collaboration between people who understand both technology and the challenges it can solve. That’s where the next wave of innovation begins.

To fuel this transformation, GroMo, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), is launching FinArva AI 2025, a high-stakes, high-impact hackathon that invites India’s brightest AI talent to reimagine the future of financial product distribution. Scheduled to take place from May 30 to June 1, 2025, in Gurugram, this 48-hour innovation sprint promises to be a melting pot of ideas, energy, and opportunity.

Designed for developers, designers, product thinkers, and AI enthusiasts, FinArva AI 2025 offers participants a chance to tackle real challenges faced by the financial services industry. Whether it’s simplifying complex distribution networks, improving personalization using machine learning, or designing intelligent tools that enhance customer engagement, the hackathon encourages out-of-the-box thinking backed by practical execution.

The competition unfolds in two phases: a virtual idea submission round, followed by an on-ground finale in Gurugram. Interested individuals or teams of up to five members must register by May 12, with final idea submissions due on May 19. Shortlisted teams will be announced on May 22 and invited to the grand finale - a 48-hour coding marathon packed with mentorship, networking, and intense collaboration.

What’s in it for the participants? In addition to prizes worth ₹10,00,000, finalists will gain access to top industry leaders, fast-track internship and job opportunities at GroMo, and the chance to showcase their solutions to potential investors and partners. GroMo and AWS will also cover travel, accommodation, and provide exclusive swag for selected teams, ensuring a world-class experience throughout.

Whether you’re a student ready to test your skills or a working professional eager to apply AI to real-world fintech problems, FinArva AI 2025 is your chance to build, learn, and lead. Registrations are open now and limited to the first 100 teams so don’t miss the opportunity to be part of India’s boldest AI hackathon.
