On 30 August, we brought 200 builders together in Gurgaon for the 8x Mobile Hackathon.
The room moved fast from the first hour. Teams formed, laptops opened, ideas turned into prototypes, and builders spent the day trying to ship something real before the final pitches.
That is what makes these days special. A good hackathon is not only about the projects that win. It is about the people who show up, start before everything is clear, help each other through the messy middle, and still find a way to put a working demo in front of the room.
Gurgaon had that energy.

Our Judges
A huge thank you to the judges who gave their time, attention, and feedback to the builders:
Darijan Ducic, Devanshi Jain, Gautam Tayal, Venkata Menta, and Sharukh Khan.
They spent the day listening to pitches, asking sharp questions, and making the final call from a strong group of teams.
Thank You, Gurgaon
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came, built, pitched, helped, and stayed through the day.
The best part of the hackathon was watching the room get more focused as the deadline got closer. Early ideas became demos. Demos became pitches. And by the end, the day had turned into exactly what we hope for at every 8x hackathon: fast, practical, a little messy in the best way, and full of people trying to build.
Already looking forward to the next one.
