About the challenge

Get started

Hack Days Pune is a high-energy, in-person hackathon designed for builders who love turning ideas into working products—fast.

Hosted in Pune and powered by the global hackathon ecosystem of Major League Hacking (MLH), this event brings together developers, designers, and problem-solvers for a full day of hands-on hacking, collaboration, and learning.

This year, we’re excited to partner with Google Gemini, giving participants access to cutting-edge AI models and tools to supercharge their hacks. Whether you’re building a developer tool, an AI-powered app, or experimenting with new ideas, Hack Days Pune is the perfect space to build, test, and showcase.

You’ll have access to food, snacks, drinks, mentorship, and exciting prizes—so you can stay focused on what matters most: building something awesome.
