HACKVIBE 2.O
24 Hours of High-Intensity Engineering Across AI, IOT & Cyber Security (October 8–9, 2026).
3 Core Focus Domains
HACKVIBE 2.O challenges innovators, engineers, and visionaries to develop transformative real-world solutions across three cutting-edge technological pillars.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Engineer autonomous multi-agent swarms, generative neural networks, deep learning pipelines, localized small language models (SLMs), and computer vision applications solving real-world challenges.
Internet of Things (IOT)
Design smart connected hardware, edge computing nodes, embedded sensor architectures, telemetry streams, and intelligent industrial automation systems uniting the physical and cloud spheres.
Cyber Security
Construct AI-augmented threat detection mechanisms, zero-trust perimeter defenses, ethical vulnerability exploitation frameworks, encrypted communication layers, and resilient network infrastructures.
Total Prize Pool: ₹35,000
Direct cash awards, prestigious mementos, certificates of excellence, and venture incubation fast-track access across our 3 domains.
24-Hour Hackathon Schedule (2 Days)
A high-octane 24-hour continuous AI sprint spanning 2 focused days — built for rapid architecture, building, and live demo pitches.
Check-in & Hacker Kits
