A 10-day hackathon for college students. Build one real thing — and leave with a verified record a recruiter can actually open.
Every hour, every stuck moment, every verified fix — logged while you build, and yours to share when you're done.
This one hands you the post. Everyone who finishes gets a verified build record — not just the winners.
Spent 10 days building a mess-waste tracker for my hostel. It runs. 17.4 verified hours, 6 verified fixes, 1 contractor interview. Here's the record — every stuck moment included. #ElivatedPortfolio #proofofwork
No presentation round. The build and the record speak.
Every finisher leaves with a shareable record. Top 3 get paid internships.
Operators with exits and P&Ls. Then a TiE Bangalore panel.
For builders and growth hackers alike. Pick the one you can talk to a real person about this week.
Fix your own college.
Get students seen.
Local language, local problem.
UPI-native, thin-file.
Access, adherence, clinics.
Not another course site.
Measurable and local.
Tools for the makers.
Small-brand operations.
Make builders faster.
Back-office for a real shop.
Make one thing legible.
Same rubric. Someone other than you must want it — and you must have talked to them.
Ten days is short on purpose. Scope small, ship something that runs.
₹1,999 per team. Solo or up to 3. Apply after 11 Sept and you join the sprint in progress.
Competition opens. Every signed-up participant moves to Elivio Premium. Kickoff live, 7 PM IST.
Copilot beside you daily. Mentor AMA for the top 100 mid-sprint.
Working link or ≤3-min demo, your build record, a one-page brief.
Winners announced. Top 3 go to the TiE Bangalore panel.
Does it work and get used? How did you build it? Is the idea real?
The internship and the panel are what change your next year.
Founders, operators, and investors from one of India's most active entrepreneur networks. Date confirmed with the shortlist.
Because 100 people who finish beat 5,000 who register.
Free hackathons get 5,000 sign-ups and 200 submissions. We'd rather judge 100 real records. The fee pays for the prizes, the mentors' time, and the tool you build with — no sponsor logos, no data sold. And it includes the copilot for 30 days, so nobody is disadvantaged by what they can afford to build with.

Results 30 Sept. Top 3 to TiE Bangalore.
Good. This is for builders and growth hackers both. Ship with no-code, ship a growth engine, ship a product — execution means it works and people use it. Ten real users beats a hundred features.
Probably, yes — serious builders use them, and they're on you. Elivio is included in the fee; any other tool, paid or free, is your call. Free tiers get you far; paid tiers get you further. Nobody is scored on what they spent.
Yes — solo, or a team of 2 or 3. One application, one fee, one build record with every name on it. Elivio access is issued to the primary email; teammates get their own logins on 11 Sept.
Yes. Apply early and you get the full ten days. Apply on the 14th and you get six. Same deadline for everyone: 20 Sept.
Top three placings. ₹20,000/month, 3–6 months, Delhi and remote-friendly, PPO possible. Offers are per person — every member of a placing team is evaluated on the shared record.
You keep Premium. No refund, no penalty. Season 02 is coming.
You do. We may feature it, with credit.
Tracks, rubric, dates, and one reminder. Nothing else.
