As per the Shiv Nadar University-Chennai (SNU-Chennai), its student team Krypton came first at the Encryptocon Hackathon out of 300 teams and 900 participants in the 24-hour challenge.

Interestingly, seven teams from SNU-Chennai had participated in the competition, with four making it to the top six.

Team Krypton comprising third year students at SNU-Chennai -- L Achintya, Adithya Vedhamani, K Lohith Saradhi and Vishwa Kumaresh -- bagged the first place in the Hackathon winning a Macbook Pro each.
