What You Get
Build By Innovation 2026 awards the winning team or individual a ₹3,000 cash prize for the best solution built during the one-day hackathon. Beyond the prize, registered participants unlock a managed technical ecosystem: automated team formation/matchmaking to help solo developers find designers or backend architects, free deep-tech bootcamps covering deployment, cloud hosting, API configuration and pitch delivery, access to a private Discord/Slack community with industry-veteran mentorship, and direct exposure to partner enterprise scouts scouting students for internship placements and startup incubation funding. The prize is a straightforward competition award, not a grant or investment.
