ABOUT THE HACKATHON

Every jam has a fix. We want yours.

Raipur Traffic Hackathon 2026 is an open call for practical, buildable ideas to fix the traffic problems citizens face every day, at real chowks on a real map. This is not a paper contest. Every submission is tied to a specific location and evaluated by a panel of engineers, urban planners, and police officers.

Whether you are a student, engineer, urban planner, startup founder, or a citizen who is tired of that one bad turn near your home, this is your shot at building the city you commute through.
