Why HackathonWallah exists
We wanted a space where students could iterate fast, learn from peers, and gain recognition no matter their starting point. So we built a platform that makes the hackathon journey inclusive, transparent, and genuinely rewarding.
Curated challenges
Every problem statement is built with mentors and partners so students solve real problems while learning industry best practices.
Frictionless experience
We handle the logistics, mentoring, judging, and communications so participants can code, iterate, and demo without distractions.
Guaranteed recognition
If you ship, you shine. Every submitted solution earns a reward because we believe progress deserves the prize.
The HackathonWallah promise
When students sign up for a HackathonWallah event, they enter a playground where effort is celebrated and momentum is guaranteed. Here’s what we believe in:
Build together
HackathonWallah brings together developers, designers, makers, and dreamers from hundreds of campuses to collaborate in public.
Learn out loud
Workshops, AMAs, retros, and mentor office hours help teams pick up new stacks and ship production-ready ideas.
Celebrate courage
We reward the courage to finish projects, not just to win. Shipping early and often is the mindset that powers careers.
