2025 has started with a bang for VSD, and it’s about to get even more exciting with our upcoming RISC-V Product-based Hackathon at the prestigious IIT Madras. This is the 4th VSD Product-based hackathon in the last two years, 3rd RISC-V-based, and 1st in association with this top institute. We’re proud to share that it will run under the 2nd Digital India RISC-V (DIR-V) Symposium – 2025.

A special thanks to Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, for embracing the idea of integrating a hackathon into a mainstream conference. VSD will be heading “Hackathon – Track 4: Hardware Product Development,” looking to launch cool RISC-V products for Indian customers. If you make it to the Top 10, get ready to be invited to IIT Madras for the final product demo.

Don’t miss out—registration closes on January 14. The RISC-V boards to be used will be showcased during the inauguration call on January 15. Join us in taking Indian RISC-V innovation to the next level. Click the link below to learn more and register now:
