SRM Students held 3rd Place at HackSecureX International Hackathon 2026

The winning team comprised Rajat Kumar Singh and Shruthi Bhagawan, third-year B.Tech students in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and active members of Next Tech Lab (NTL), the university’s flagship student-led innovation and research ecosystem. Representing SRM University-AP on an international stage, the duo competed against some of the brightest young minds from across the world.

The HackSecureX International Hackathon 2026 was organised in collaboration with several globally reputed institutions, including the University of Texas at El Paso (USA), University of Piraeus (Greece), University of South Florida (USA), and SUNY Polytechnic Institute (USA). The event attracted significant international participation, with over 280 shortlisted teams from 14 countries, making the competition both intense and highly selective.

Aligned with the hackathon theme “Code. Comply. Conquer.”, participants were challenged to develop innovative solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and cyber law. Rajat and Shruthi stood out by presenting a solution that addressed a real-world issue often overlooked in the digital ecosystem user awareness and understanding of privacy policies.

The system identifies key aspects such as types of user data collected, intended data usage, third-party sharing practices, and applicable legal frameworks, including regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By simplifying dense legal language into accessible summaries, Privy empowers users to make informed decisions while encouraging organisations to adopt more transparent data practices.

The global jury commended the team for the solution’s practical relevance, clarity of design, and strong alignment with regulatory compliance requirements. Their effort was recognised with a cash award of USD 250 along with an official Winner’s Certificate, further validating the impact and quality of their work.

Reflecting on the achievement, Rajat Kumar Singh shared that the team deliberately chose to focus on a problem that affects millions of users daily but rarely receives adequate attention. Rather than building superficial technical complexity, they emphasised accuracy, usability, and real-world applicability, which resonated strongly with the hackathon’s evaluation criteria. He also noted that the team plans to further develop Privy into a scalable and deployable solution that organisations can seamlessly integrate into their digital workflows to enhance accountability in data privacy practices.

Shruthi Bhagawan attributed the success to rigorous hands-on preparation in cybersecurity concepts, HackSecureX International Hackathon 2026, strong team collaboration, and continuous mentorship from Next Tech Lab. She highlighted that the hackathon experience reinforced her aspiration to work at the convergence of AI, cybersecurity, and cyber law, creating solutions that foster digital trust and user empowerment in an increasingly data-driven world.
