Ozonetel to provide free credits at IndiaHacks 2016

BENGALURU: Ozonetel, the only telco-grade multi-channel (voice, video, chat, sms, social media) communication platform on cloud in India, has partnered with HackerEarth, a thriving community of 550K+ developers all over the world, for IndiaHacks 2016 ─ the world’s largest developer confluence.

To boost the community of developers, at IndiaHacks, Ozonetel is giving free credits to developers to build voice & IVR applications for social media. Ozonetel's Kookoo platform is India's only open API platform. KooKoo provides open API's to the developer community to build innovative voice applications. KooKoo is an interface between a developer's web application and the caller. It takes phone commands from the developer and executes them to the caller. All of Ozonetel' s core offerings - cloud based contact centre for sales, service and marketing functions -  are built on Kookoo. Thousands of other developers have built their own solutions on Kookoo.

Developers come to HackerEarth to improve their programming skills, solve problems and discover new ways to deal with problems across various domains of Computer Science, participate in online coding challenges/hackathons, network with their peers and discover the jobs they deserve. With this partnership, Ozonetel will provide free credits to developers at IndiaHacks 2016.

IndiaHacks 2016 is the world’s largest developer confluence, a hacking event hosted by HackerEarth, which attracts developers from across the World.

The event is scheduled to kick-off on January 8th, 2016 which will happen in two phases.

The first stage is a month long series of online hackathons and programming contests. There are three programming tracks - Advanced Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning & Big Data. These online challenges will have developers solving complex programming problems using concepts of algorithms, data structures, data science, artificial intelligence etc. The remaining six will be hackathons on Fintech, IOT, Gaming, Open Source, Online Commerce, Travel and Transport. These hackathons will see developers build unique and interesting products based on themes in a duration of 48 hours. Hacks will be evaluated on criteria like uniqueness of the idea, usability of the hack, code quality, design etc.

The second phase of IndiaHacks is an offline developer conference. Top 20 teams/individuals will be shortlisted from each track and will be invited to this conference, where they will again hack for 24 hours and present their ideas to a panel of judges. The winners of IndiaHacks will be decided at the offline conference scheduled for March in Bangalore. Winners of IndiaHacks get a chance to go to San Francisco.There are other prizes to be won too.
