faq
Who can apply?
Anyone building or learning with AI. You don’t need to be a club member. Fill the form, and most people are approved within a minute.
How does selection work?
It’s a light check. Name the AI tools you use and tell us something you’ve built or want to build. If you’re through, you get a pay link by email straight away.
What does it cost?
₹999 a seat. ₹849 for Premium members. Each person pays for their own seat.
Can I come solo?
Yes. Come solo, tick “pair me” to be matched on the day, or bring a team of 2 to 4. Each teammate registers from the invite and pays for their own seat. Nobody waits on anyone else to pay.
Is there a theme?
No single theme. Partners share problem statements on the day and the club adds a few tracks. Pick one, or build your own idea.
Do I have to build everything on the day?
Yes. It doesn’t need to be finished, but it should work well enough to demo. Coming with a plan is fine. Coming with the app already built isn’t.
How does hiring work?
If you tick “open to hiring” in the form, your resume goes to Manyavar, Dot & Key, Lumino Industries and Vinayak Group before the day. They have desks at the venue and talk to people during the build.
What roles are they hiring for?
Each hiring partner will say what they are hiring for when they present at the opening on the day. We will add the roles here as each company confirms them.
How is it judged?
Four things decide the main ₹1 lakh prize pool, scored out of 100.
It works, 40. Is it live, and can you click through the real thing on stage.
A problem worth solving, 25. Would someone pay to make this problem go away.
Use of AI, 25. AI doing real work in the build or the product, not decoration.
The demo, 10. Clear, honest and inside your time.
A first round in the afternoon picks the top 10, who present on stage from 6 pm. Ties break on the It works score.
Partner companies run their own tracks. If you build on a company's problem statement and pitch to them directly, they judge it on what matters to them, separate from the main pool.
Will there be food?
Yes. Food and coffee are provided by us through the day, free of cost.
What should I bring?
Laptop, charger, and any AI tools you already pay for. Wifi is provided. A phone hotspot as backup helps.
Can I use AI tools? What counts as cheating?
Use any AI tool you like. Claude, Cursor, Lovable, all of it is expected. What is not allowed is bringing a finished project or passing off someone else's work as yours. Judges will ask you how you built it.
What do I get for the ticket?
A full day of building, food and coffee through the day, an event t-shirt, and a room with the hiring partners and judges in it.
Something’s not working?
WhatsApp Sahil on +91 83369 14208. Reply within the hour, 9 am to 11 pm.
