Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has partnered with Microsoft India for the ‘BIAL Genie Hackathon’, which is an exercise to mobilise app developers, data scientists, data engineers and hackathon enthusiasts who are interested in developing a super app that can foster technology-led innovation and seamless passenger experiences at the airport.
The initiative was in line with BIAL’s efforts to develop superior customer service that enables passengers to have a simple, seamless, and engaging travel journey while flying through BLR airport.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
