"Appirio's crowdsourcing community is driven by our members' hunger to compete, improve their skills, and collaborate with one another," said Maryam Norouzi, Vice President of Appirio's crowdsourcing community. "Topcoder Open is their time to show off their skills in front of their peers, meet other members and Topcoder staff, and just have a good time. India, in particular, is home to more than 170,000 Topcoder members, so this particular competition round will undoubtedly be an exciting event with lots of good energy and creative submissions."
