About
Open Source Sprint is a 24-hour open source hackathon hosted at Malla Reddy University in Hyderabad, Telangana, on October 14–15, 2026. Organised by Unifesto Private Limited and powered by ElevenLabs as Title Sponsor, the event is positioned as one of India's largest open source building sprints, bringing together students, freshers, and working professionals for a single continuous build window with zero entry fee.
Who Should Apply The hackathon is open to college students, recent graduates, and working professionals. There are no restrictions on college, organisation, or gender — anyone can apply. Teams must consist of 2 to 4 members.
Tracks / Themes The event follows an Open Innovation format with no fixed tracks or themes. Teams are free to conceive, build, and ship any idea they are passionate about, taking it from ideation to a working prototype within the 24-hour sprint.
Format & Timeline The sprint runs continuously for 24 hours. Teams register via the event page, attend the opening session, and then build through the full window with mentors available for guidance. Projects must be submitted (uploaded to GitHub) before the deadline, after which teams present to evaluators across two judging rounds. Winners are announced and prizes distributed at the closing ceremony. All code must be written during the event window — pre-built projects are not eligible — and all projects are open sourced on GitHub as part of participation. Teams must have all members present for the full duration, and judging decisions are final.
Prizes ElevenLabs prizes worth ₹4.5 Lakh+ are on offer, along with additional prizes and swag for participants. Certificates are issued to participants.
Eligibility Open to college students, freshers, and professionals with no college, organisation, or gender restrictions. Teams of 2–4 members.
