🎯 The Surprise Brief
On 25 July, 100 designers & developers walked into IIIT Delhi for a twelve-hour buildathon. Nobody knew what they'd be building. The problem statements were revealed on the day itself, so there was no time to prep and no head start to lean on. Just a fresh brief and a room full of builders ready to go.
Three tracks set the direction.
- Reinvent Everyday Computing was about building better versions of tools people already use.
- Beyond the Browser pushed teams past the usual web and mobile app format.
- Life Admin was all about cutting the friction out of everyday mundane tasks.
Judges and mentors from Paytm, LambdaTest, GitHub, and more were in the room through the day, including Vedansh Tripathi, Shekhar Patel, Brahmjit Singh, Krish Khattar, Himank Varshney, Ajay Singh Karayat, Vidhi Rawat, and Abhishek Dhiman.

📸 Community Moments
A room full of innovators, students and mentors leaning in to help debug something that broke at just the wrong moment. That's the energy Sketch 'n' Ship ran on.

🎉 Beyond the Podium
Only three teams took home prizes, but the room was packed with sharp ideas across all three tracks: better everyday tools, fresh takes beyond the browser, and clever fixes for tedious admin work. Curious what else got built? The full project list is live on Commudle for everyone!
