The Challenges
Sebi has laid out some specific problem statements for participants to tackle. These include:
- Fraud prevention (because nobody likes a scammer!)

- Improving liquidity in bond markets (making it easier to buy and sell bonds)
- Member compliance monitoring (keeping everyone honest)
Why This Matters
Now, you might be wondering, "Why should I care about this hackathon?" Well, the solutions that come out of this event could potentially shape the future of how we interact with financial markets in India. Imagine having tools that make it easier for you to invest, protect your money, and understand complex financial concepts. That's the kind of impact this hackathon is aiming for!
The Perks
And it's not just about changing the world of finance. Participants get some pretty sweet perks too:
