India is on the verge of an AI revolution, fueled by a tech-savvy population, government support, and global tech interest. To capitalize on this, HackIndia and SingularityNET are partnering to empower 25,000 students across 150 Indian universities with advanced AI and Web3 skills, resources, and mentorship.
CSharp (HackIndia's parent company) and SingularityNET's partnership reflects their joint commitment to democratizing Web3 and AI education for Indian students. Equipping these future tech leaders is vital for India to achieve its AI innovation goals. Ivan Kan, CSharp CMO said "Hackathons have rapidly emerged as the most powerful catalysts for career creation and development, providing real-world experience where innovation outpaces traditional academia. As we scale HackIndia 2025, we’re proud to amplify this shift, equipping the next generation with the tools, mentorship, and opportunities to lead with Web3 and AI."

SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Dr. Goertzel envisions AGI as independent, open, and universally beneficial, not controlled by any single entity. SingularityNET's team reflects this broad vision, comprising experienced engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and marketers, with specialized teams dedicated to diverse AI applications like finance, robotics, and media.
Dr. Ben Goertzel, Founder and CEO of SingularityNET commented, "We're honored to be the Title Sponsor for HackIndia 2025.

We look forward to collaborating with India's brightest minds to drive advancements in AI and blockchain technologies."
India, A Global AI Leader
India's burgeoning tech market and vast talent pool are rapidly establishing it as a major player in the global AI landscape. Recognizing this potential, global leaders like NVIDIA are actively supporting India's ambition to become a self-sufficient AI powerhouse. Prime Minister Modi's government is further fueling this growth through policies that enhance AI infrastructure accessibility and affordability. This proactive approach is already showing results, with the Bosch Tech Compass Survey 2025 highlighting India's leading position in AI readiness, as over 50% of Indians actively pursue AI self-education.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reinforces India's AI significance, noting it's their second-largest market with impressive user growth and AI innovation. Altman advocates for India to lead the AI revolution, recognizing its vast potential.
