MumbaiHacks 2025 was officially the world’s largest hackathon focused on Agentic AI. Held on November 28-29, the event brought together over 3500 tech innovators and firmly established Mumbai as a major player in AI.
Organized by The Tech Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM), the challenge was to create AI that doesn’t just suggest, but independently executes.
While teams worked across multiple tracks, one category consistently drew the biggest crowds and conversations: Healthtech. Teams delivered groundbreaking prototypes designed to tackle India’s most pressing public health issues.
Here are all the healthtech updates from MumbaiHacks 2025!
The rise of agentic AI in healthcare
The spotlight at MumbaiHacks wasn’t on just any AI; it was on Agentic AI. A shift beyond data-crunching algorithms toward systems that can independently sense, decide, and execute on their own.
In healthcare, this shift is revolutionary.
Instead of AI that merely flags risks or suggests next steps, these systems can carry out entire workflows autonomously, from interpreting medical data to triggering follow-up actions.
It promises to automate burdensome administrative work, sharpen diagnostic precision, and deliver truly personalized care protocols.
What stood out at the hackathon was how practical these ideas were. They were working prototypes built to function in real-world Indian healthcare settings.
Healthtech winners that stood out at MumbaiHacks 2025
CardioSense AI: Bringing cardiac diagnostics closer to home
The winning project, CardioSense AI, tackled a critical bottleneck: the shortage of cardiologists in non-urban areas.
Developed by a team led by Himanshu Sharma and Hemish Jain, their system uses an Agentic AI workflow to autonomously analyze angiography videos for signs of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
By handling complex diagnostic workflows without constant specialist input, the solution could significantly expand access to cardiac care in underserved regions.
Nirogya: Digital healthcare that works anywhere
Runner-up Nirogya took a different but equally important approach—designing for India’s connectivity constraints.
Their platform combines voice-first interfaces, low-bandwidth video, and health records to deliver end-to-end care. From symptom checks and teleconsultations to medicine tracking and epidemic surveillance, Nirogya aims to make digital healthcare work anywhere.
Backing talent, not just ideas
What truly amplified the energy at MumbaiHacks was the level of industry involvement.
Mr. V. Vaidyanathan, MD & CEO of IDFC FIRST Bank, personally rewarded the top 100 teams with vouchers worth ₹3,000 per member. That’s roughly 10% of all participants. An unusually direct show of support for builders tackling real-world problems, like rural healthcare access.
The healthtech jury added further weight to the event. With leaders such as Devendra Brid, Vishal Gondal (Founder & CEO, GOQii), and Arjun Vaidya (Co-founder, V3Ventures) evaluating the projects, teams received feedback from people who know what it takes to move from prototype to product.
