Event 01Bharat Builds Tour

First Commit

Build something that solves a real problem: one you deal with yourself, one the people around you face every day, or a clunky way of doing things nobody has bothered to fix yet. Think outside the box, in any sector, be that healthcare, education, finance, your pick.

The hackathon runs online Thursday to Sunday, with an optional hack day in Bangalore on Saturday. Limited seats, and you get workshops, project feedback, time with the Amazon team, and swag.
