In addition, Arjun Singh, Managing Director for Asia at Envestnet | Yodlee, led a panel discussion about trends and challenges in the Asian wealth management industry, including impediments to the way forward. Blake Wood, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Envestnet, explained how Yodlee's ongoing integration with Envestnet can empower financial advisors to deliver a holistic wealth management experience whenever, wherever, and however their clients want it.
The forum also included a 24-hour hackathon, "Hack'D 2016," focused on corporate social responsibility. During the hackathon, which was held from October 16-17 at Envestnet Towers in Trivandrum, software engineering students from 10 Indian colleges and universities created technology tools to help foster greater financial inclusion and improve healthcare across India.
Jay Lohokare, Reshul Dani, and Ajit Rajurkar from the College of Engineering, Pune, were chosen winners for their innovative technology solution in Finance and received an award of Rs. 3 lacs. Inspired by the tech trends showcased at the Conference and deploying conversational UX, the team developed an innovative personalized credit scoring system based on alternative and more inclusive scoring mechanisms such as bill payment scores, and social media scores, going beyond the scope of traditional credit scoring models which may limit financial inclusion.
Kousik Satish, Sam Radhakrishnan, Harshavardhan, and Sujith Rengan, from the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, were chosen as runners-up for their scalable solution in Healthcare and received an award of Rs. 1 lac. The team developed a medical recording system, which would input diagnostic data from different regions and leverage machine learning algorithms to predict outbreak of epidemics in advance, while also ensuring supply of preventive medication in the affected regions.
A Special Award of Rs. 40,000 was given away to Kiran Mohan, Akhil Ramesh, Mrinal Krishnan and Niraj Nirmal of the Mar Baselios College of Engineering and Technology, Trivandrum, for their well- researched technology solution in support of a noble cause in Healthcare. The team developed a web based application with in-built screening which would serve as a primary evaluation tool for children with Dyslexia, helping parents, teachers and related stakeholders such as schools, hospitals and social organizations identify early on and in private, the signs of Dyslexia in children, ensure appropriate intervention where required and thereby minimize the social stigma associated with the learning disorder.
"Great solutions often happen at the intersection of disciplines, and at this forum, over 210 software architects, bankers, and financial advisors came together to share ideas on Architecting Intelligence," said Anilal Ravi, Executive Vice President and Senior Managing Director of Engineering at Envestnet India. "Students displayed conviction and enthusiasm as they participated in 'Code For A Cause' to develop scalable technology solutions for identified social causes."
