A multidisciplinary student team from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has secured the National Runner-Up position with a prize money of ₹1.5 Lakhs at the prestigious Guidewire DEVTrails University Hackathon 2026, conducted in collaboration with Guidewire and EY.
Competing against more than 4,400 teams and over 18,000 participants from across the country, the team “Mog Squad” 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 hackathon challenge focused on designing an intelligent insurance solution capable of supporting delivery partners and gig workers during unforeseen disruptions that directly impact their livelihood.

The interdisciplinary nature of the team played a crucial role in their success. By combining expertise in artificial intelligence, cyber security, systems engineering, and software development, the students were able to build a solution that was not only technically robust, but also practical, scalable, and socially impactful.

Sruthi from the TIFAC-CORE in Cyber Security, winners of 2025 DEVTrails x Guidewire Hackathon, for their constant support, valuable insights, and encouragement during critical stages of development.
The students also acknowledged the mentorship of Dr. Anbazhagan Mahadevan, Assistant Professor, Amrita School of Computing, Coimbatore, whose motivation, technical guidance, and attention to detail inspired the team to continuously improve their solution.
This achievement highlights Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s continued commitment to fostering innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and socially relevant technology solutions among students.
