Instinct Overview

INSTINCT, the annual innovation challenge & hackathon by IntelliSmart, has become a breeding ground for innovative ideas and breakthrough solutions for the power distribution sector. Since its inception, INSTINCT has found widespread uptake with 2665 participants, 2368 students, more than 900 colleges, 81 startups, 184 professionals and 145 incubation centres engaged.
