Hackathon, a mashup of "hack" and "marathon", typically consists of teams of software developer 'hackers' applying their skills to solve problems in a specific period of time. From the Silicon Valley to India's start-up hub Bengaluru, the hackathon culture is on the rise. Ludhiana - the Mercedes capital of India, surprises us yet again by hosting the first-ever hackathon in Punjab and other northern states.
