The Citi India Ada Lovelace Hackathon 2025 is a prestigious national-level innovation challenge that draws hundreds of student teams from across the country. After multiple rounds of shortlisting — including concept submission, technical evaluation, and virtual presentations — only the Top 5 teams at the pan-India level were invited to Citi’s on-site finale for the final prototype development and evaluation. The 2025 edition concluded with its grand finale on 14 October 2025, where the finalists presented their solutions before an expert panel.

Among these finalists was Team JNR, represented by Jayashre, Nidhi Gummaraju, Roahith R, Raahul R, and Shanmathi Ganesan, students of 4th Year B.Tech CSE (CS). Their idea and prototype consistently performed well through every stage of the hackathon, earning them a spot in the top five. At the on-site finale, Team JNR delivered a robust and compelling prototype, ultimately securing the First Place among all participating teams across India. Their achievement reflects their hard work, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Shiv Nadar University Chennai is immensely proud of these students and their accomplishment.
