Seizing Our Moment in GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™

Google Cloud, in collaboration with Hack2skill, successfully hosted the Agentic AI Day 2025 on July 27, 2025, in Bangalore. This historic event, a follow-up to the successful I/O Connect, proudly became the largest on-ground AI Agent challenge in India. It also officially secured the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most participants in an Agentic AI hackathon!

Over 2,000 developers, forming more than 700 AI-first teams, participated in an intense, 30-hour innovation sprint. The electric atmosphere saw these brilliant minds tackle six critical real-world problem statements, building functional MVPs that truly showcased the transformative potential of Agentic AI. About 1941 developers were adjudicated to break the World Record.

This event was more than just a hackathon; it was a movement that firmly positioned Google Cloud at the forefront of Agentic AI adoption, igniting the imagination of India’s top tech minds. Participants deeply explored Google Cloud's powerful AI ecosystem, leveraging:

• Google AI Studio: A fast and free environment that provided immediate access to Google DeepMind's latest AI models.
• Gemini 2.5 Pro: Google's multimodal, high-efficiency model, which proved ideal for high-volume tasks and demonstrated its capability to understand diverse data types with a massive 1M token context window.
• Vertex AI: The unified ML platform that facilitated the training, deployment, and customization of ML models and AI applications, with robust MLOps tools and enterprise-grade data governance.
• Firebase Studio: Seamlessly integrated with Gemini and other AI tools, Firebase Studio provided an agentic development environment that allowed participants to prototype, build, and deploy full-stack, AI-powered applications at remarkable speed

The event commenced with inspiring keynotes from leaders like Karthik Padmanabhan, Developer Relations lead, Google Cloud; Dave Elliott, Developer Relations and Engineering AI Lead; Vikas Anand, Director product management, Firebase; Sri KPS Kishore, IPS Superintendent of Police, Eluru; and Sumit Gwalani, Co-Founder, Fi.Money. Following these keynotes, participants engaged in intensive workshops and received invaluable mentorship from over 160 experts, all culminating in the 30-hour Agentic AI challenge.
