A multidisciplinary student team from the Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham secured the National Runner-Up position and won a cash prize of ₹1.5 lakh at the Guidewire DEVTrails University Hackathon 2026, conducted in collaboration with Guidewire and EY.

Competing under the team name “Mog Squad,” the students developed “Continuum,” an AI-powered parametric insurance platform designed to protect India’s gig workers from sudden income loss caused by environmental and social disruptions such as heavy rainfall, floods, pollution, and unexpected shutdowns.

The team comprised Ashwin K, Kavinesh P, Raam Prathap, Sri Krishna V, and Anirudh S Varrier from Computer Science, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Electrical and Computer Engineering disciplines.

The hackathon witnessed participation from more than 4,400 teams and over 18,000 participants from across the country. The challenge focused on developing intelligent insurance solutions capable of supporting delivery partners and gig workers during unforeseen disruptions affecting their livelihoods.

The students credited their success to the mentorship and guidance of Anaswara Suresh M K and R Sruthi from TIFAC-CORE in Cyber Security, winners of the 2025 DEVTrails x Guidewire Hackathon, along with Dr. Anbazhagan Mahadevan, Assistant Professor, Amrita School of Computing, Coimbatore.
