About RIDE HACK
RIDE HACK is a nationwide hackathon open to students, faculty, innovators and aspiring entrepreneurs, built around solving real-world problems with technology. The 2025 edition closed registrations on 30 September 2025, shortlisted on 15 October 2025 and ran on 15 November 2025, and no further edition had been announced when we checked, so treat it as recurring rather than currently open.
What you get
- Cash prizes for the top five teams.
- Mentoring from industry experts and networking with investors and founders.
- Startup funding for teams taken into incubation afterwards.
Who can apply
- Students, faculty, innovators and aspiring entrepreneurs, from anywhere in India.
How selection works: Entries are shortlisted after the registration deadline, then judged at the hackathon itself.
How to apply: Registration opens on RIDE's events page when an edition is running; write to contact@incubator-ride.com to ask about the next one.
