Why Tim Cook was "amazed" to meet this 22-year-old Indian developer at Apple WWDC 2024

By Consultants Review Team Monday, 10 June 2024

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, met with the student developers who took first place in this year's Swift Student Challenge to start WWDC 2024 "in the best way possible." Among them was Varanasi, India-based developer Akshat Srivastava, 22, whose MindBud entry was chosen as one of the notable winners.

Cook remarked after the meeting, "I saw so much excitement for the many ways that technology can enrich people's lives when I visited India last year and I met so many extraordinary developers." "Meeting Akshat this week and witnessing how he's crafted an entirely new approach to impart his passion for vintage video games to the upcoming generation was equally delightful."

Top student coders are recognized annually by Apple through the Swift Student Challenge, which this year included a new category. Fifty students were "distinguished" for their outstanding app playgrounds out of 350 winning applications; they were acknowledged for their originality, inventiveness, social effect, or inclusion.

Akshat has received a unique invitation to attend a three-day in-person experience at Apple Park at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) as a distinguished winner. This unique occasion will include specially designed programs meant to develop abilities and encourage creativity. Akshat is going to become a part of a worldwide network of creative people who share his interests and provide inspiration to each other.

In the future, Akshat wanted to release his MindBud application on the App Store in order to expand his audience and encourage more kids to play his imaginative and instructive games.
