DevSparks 2024 Hyderabad: YourStory's developer-first tech summit is back

On May 4, 1,500+ developers across Bengaluru came together to join YourStory’s debut developer-focused conference DevSparks.

Now, we are coming to Hyderabad. On August 3 at the Indian School of Business, DevSparks will bring together leading developers, engineers and technologists to collaborate, learn, explore, and evolve together.

India is the fastest-growing economy in the world, propelled significantly by digital transformation.

According to the World Economic Forum, the “significant talent pool and a digitally motivated population with supportive government policies, strong academic institutions, lower costs of living and doing business and world-class research and innovation facilities” ensure that India has “all the ingredients for success in the digital world”.

Cutting-edge advancements–from AI and biotechnology to renewable energy and space exploration–have put India at the forefront of the global innovation scene. The country’s brightest young minds, in engineering, software, and technology, are applying their knowledge to real-world scenarios and creating meaningful tech solutions to accelerate the growth of India’s economy.

The entire ecosystem, including startups, enterprises, regulators, academic institutes, investors, and more, is powering the tech renaissance.

These entities, international and domestic, are working to build a technology-first nation by developing cutting-edge apps, software technologies, products, and services.

YourStory’s DevSparks 2024 Hyderabad aims to be the focal point of this tech revolution by bringing together India’s top app and software developers, technologists, enterprise leaders, and industry experts under one roof.

Ola Founder Bhavish Aggarwal, at DevSparks 2024 Bengaluru edition, said that India—as the producer of nearly 20% of the world's data—should seize the AI opportunity to lead in creating future technologies and surpass the West, which has defined technological advancements in the modern era.

"If we, as a country, want to become the biggest economy in the world, we have to become the best in the 4-5 tech paradigms—such as AI, data centres, cloud infrastructure, semiconductors—of the future," Aggarwal said at the first edition of YourStory’s event for developers.
