East India's Biggest Entrepreneurial Hackathon

HACK<N>PITCH is Eastern India’s premier 24-hour product-based hackathon, set to take place on 7th–8th November 2025 at Jadavpur University’s Salt Lake Campus (JUSL), Kolkata. Designed to ignite innovation and entrepreneurial thinking, the event will bring together 50 elite teams (200 participants max) from across the country to compete, collaborate, and create impactful tech solutions under intense time constraints. With a strong focus on real-world problem solving, this hackathon is structured around four cutting-edge tracks: Generative AI, Agentic AI, Web3, and Cybersecurity.

What makes HACK<N>PITCH stands out for its purpose as well as its scale. In addition to being the biggest product-focused hackathon in Eastern India, it encourages diversity and balanced teamwork by requiring at least one female member in each team. Teams compete to be the sole undisputed winner and receive the grand cash prize by brainstorming, prototyping, and pitching their solutions to a panel of knowledgeable judges over the course of the 24-hour sprint. Medals and certificates of excellence will be given to other top-performing teams.

HACK<N>PITCH is more than just a hackathon, it serves as a springboard for the upcoming generation of innovators and builders. Our goal is to foster an innovative, technically superior, and entrepreneurial community through this event. With MLH's help, we hope to improve the experience of participants, provide top-notch mentorship, and establish HACK<N>PITCH as a significant student-led tech initiative on a global scale.
