​We’re entering the builder’s era of AI.
AI isn’t just reshaping industries—it’s tearing down old systems and building something entirely new.

​But let’s face it. Noise is everywhere. Everyone’s talking, few are doing. But the future is always of the ones who build.

​Build > Everything Else.

​The Better Hack is India’s first multi-city, AI-first hackathon series.

​This isn’t just another hackathon for show—it’s a stage for India’s silent builders, the ones quietly solving real problems, to step up, get recognized, and shape the future of AI.

​It all starts with Pune. The first hackathon will bring together the sharpest minds in AI to solve real-world problems over 12 hours. If you make it, you’re competing with the top 4% of applicants—building alongside the best and setting the stage for what’s next.

​✨ Why AI Agents?

​AI agents are the future of work. They don’t just analyze data—they act, adapt, and solve problems autonomously. Whether it’s automating workflows or tackling challenges we can’t yet imagine, AI agents are where the future of AI is headed.
