PUNE, India - ncarol.com -- Talentica successfully concluded Hackathon 2026, bringing together 180+ engineers across 30 teams. They designed and built collaborative multi-agent systems to solve complex enterprise challenges.

The hackathon challenged participants to build multi-agent systems. Teams defined specialized agent roles, designed clear orchestration logic, and ensured seamless coordination. They managed shared context and memory to handle multi-turn conversations without duplication, while debugging non-deterministic behavior and maintaining reliable handoffs. Despite the complexity, teams delivered coordinated systems that addressed real-world challenges like fragmented customer tickets, incident alerts, complex interactions, and large unstructured knowledge bases.

The initiative is part of Talentica's broader AI-Native Learning program, designed to groom AI-native engineers who can build systems where reasoning, memory, governance, and observability are foundational. The program also includes a focused webinar series that helps sharing the knowledge gained by experts on topics like vulnerability management using AI, data readiness for AI, and whether agentic AI will replace or reshape SaaS. Hackathon 2026 served as the hands-on stage where multi-agent concepts became reality.

Team Rooted Rebels emerged as winners for building a production-grade multi-agent support copilot powered by LangGraph. Their solution showcased strong engineering depth across parallel intent detection, memory orchestration, and RAG pipelines, with persistence and full-stack observability built in.

They stood out for complete execution—featuring switchable RAG backends, multi-format ingestion with citations, clear separation of retrieval and reasoning, and real-time streaming visibility. The system reflected enterprise readiness, scalability, and strong engineering discipline, making it the most comprehensive end-to-end solution of the hackathon.

Leadership Perspective:

"Hackathon 2026 is a reflection of our commitment to building AI-native engineering capabilities that go beyond experimentation. Team Rooted Rebels delivered a production-ready agentic system built for collaboration, transparency, security, and scale," said Aniket Shaligram, VP-Technology, Talentica.

"Through initiatives like this, we are grooming engineers who think in agents, memory layers, guardrails, and observability by default. The depth of innovation across all 30 teams reinforces the strength of our AI-native culture," added Anindita Dey, Senior Manager-People Group, Talentica.
