Overview
A 90-day, fully virtual agentic-AI hackathon (15 Aug-15 Nov 2026) applying AI to social-impact domains: education, sanitation, health, water, and livelihoods. Run by Code for India with Nasscom/FutureSkills Prime, AgentFoundry.me, TrustModel.ai, and XSpan.ai as partners. Winners announced 5 Dec 2026.
Eligibility
- Open globally to students, professionals, indie developers and teams
- Not restricted to registered startups
Funding Purpose
₹18 lakh total cash prize pool split across impact tracks (₹1.5L/₹1L/₹0.5L per track for 1st/2nd/3rd place). The amount used here is the top per-track prize (₹1.5L), not the full aggregate pool, since no single winner receives the whole ₹18L. Plus a fast-track into Code for India's incubation program.
