    Step #2

    Prototype development phase of the challenge

    In the second round, the selected teams/individuals would have to bring their idea to life in a matter of three weeks.

    They will have to prepare a prototype, which would be evaluated by the bank on a range of factors like functionality, accuracy, scalability, security, and look and feel.

    The chosen model would go into the final round, where they will be tested on actual data.

    Six months of real-world testing
