One Working Product. WCC Launchpad 30 is a national-level online hackathon where students, developers, designers, and young builders will have 30 hours to transform a meaningful idea into a functional product. Participants must identify a genuine real-world problem, understand who experiences it, and build a working solution with a clear central workflow. Projects may be submitted under one of three tracks: Agentic AI: Build AI agents, intelligent assistants, autonomous systems, or multi-agent workflows that can reason, use tools, and complete meaningful tasks. Open Innovation: Develop an original technology-based solution that addresses a significant real-world problem in any industry or community. Everyday Automation: Create practical products that automate repetitive everyday tasks, personal workflows, or small-business operations, such as scheduling, communication, data entry, reminders, document processing, and productivity management. Teams must present a functional prototype, source code repository, product demonstration, and a short explanation of the problem, solution, technology, and future development plan. Rewards and Opportunities The top three winning teams will share a ₹50,000 cash prize pool, and the top three winners will also receive paid internship opportunities. However, winning is not limited to the main leaderboard. More than 100 participants will receive recognition and rewards across the primary hackathon, sponsor challenges, track awards, and exciting mini-challenges conducted throughout the event. Eligible participants may receive: Exclusive goodies and merchandise Complimentary access or trials for selected AI and developer tools Special discounted access to premium technology products Domains, platform credits, and partner benefits Verifiable digital participation certificates Mentorship, workshops, and technical resources Portfolio-ready project experience Opportunities to win additional mini-challenge rewards Mini-challenges will give participants multiple opportunities to win, even if they do not finish among the top three overall teams. These challenges may reward creativity, technical implementation, automation, design, product storytelling, community contribution, and effective use of partner tools. WCC Launchpad 30 is designed to help participants leave with more than a certificate—they can finish with a working product, practical building experience, valuable tools, industry exposure, exciting rewards, and a project they can continue developing after the hackathon.
