My gov
Turn your biotechnology idea into real-world impact! Join the D.E.S.I.G.N. for BioE3 Challenge '26 to solve national challenges with innovative biotech concepts, compete for funding and recognition, and showcase your innovation journey on Wooble.
Fretbox
Design a technology solution that removes the daily friction of campus life — for the student trying to get something done, and for the administrator trying to keep track of two thousand of them. Not a new app for one problem. A working answer to the everyday operational mess that everyone has quietly accepted as normal.
Arduino S.R.L.
Heatwaves are now the deadliest recurring weather event in India, and the warning system operates at district level while the suffering operates at room level. Build an Edge AI system on the Arduino UNO Q that measures real heat stress where a person actually is, predicts how bad that specific room is about to get, and does something about it — automatically, offline, through the power cut.
Arduino S.R.L.
Build an air quality node that thinks for itself. No cloud, no subscription, no waiting for a server in some data centre to tell a child in Cuttack whether the playground is safe today. All AI inference runs on the Arduino UNO Q sitting right there in the smoke.
Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited
Develop an online portal for BRSR reporting of corporate ESG reports — a system that collects, validates, consolidates and generates a company's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report in the SEBI-prescribed structure, with the evidence trail intact and the assurance process survivable.
Odisha Knowledge Corporation Limited
Design and develop an AI-powered Cyber Threat, Phishing and Digital Impersonation Detection & Response System capable of identifying, analysing, explaining and responding to emerging cyber threats in near real time — protecting both the technology layer and the human layer of cybersecurity.
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation
Build an AI-powered decision dashboard for government-run and institution-run facilities across India, covering sustainability, safety and operations — air quality, waste management, water usage, energy consumption, traffic flow, asset utilisation, emissions and climate resilience. It must adapt to hospitals, colleges, company campuses, public-sector units, industrial estates, municipal facilities and large mixed-use institutional zones.
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation
Build a human-in-the-loop triage assistant for government hospitals, primary health centres, public health camps, company clinics, industrial-estate health units and campus health centres. It takes patient-described symptoms, uploaded reports and basic visual inputs, and turns them into a clean, structured triage note for a qualified professional to review. It organises. It flags urgency. It never plays doctor.
Software Technology Parks of India
Build a prototype AI system that detects safety gear compliance — helmets, high-visibility vests, protective footwear, gloves where applicable — plus smoke presence and fire presence, in real time from CCTV or recorded footage, and generates alerts with location and context so intervention is fast and specific.
Software Technology Parks of India
Develop a smart algorithm for autonomous navigation along a permissible corridor in 3D and implement it successfully on hardware mounted on a standard drone. The guidance algorithm must take active feedback from the ground about its tracked position and fuse it with the view from the drone camera to improve positional accuracy — and therefore the reliability of autonomous landing. The hardware must be lightweight with minimum power requirement.
Wooble
MethaneGuard AI '26 is an AI and Computer Vision hackathon focused on one of the world's most urgent climate challenges—detecting methane leaks before they become environmental and financial disasters. Participants will build intelligent systems capable of analyzing satellite imagery, drone footage, and environmental sensor data to identify methane emission hotspots, estimate leak severity, and help organizations prioritize inspections. The goal is to transform raw environmental data into actionable intelligence that enables faster decisions, reduces emissions, and strengthens regulatory compliance.
Wooble
Build an intelligent cyber defense platform that identifies anomalies, uncovers hidden attack patterns, prioritizes critical threats, and assists analysts with AI-generated incident insights in real time.
Wooble
Design a campus gig marketplace that helps students discover opportunities, earn through their skills, and build trusted reputations while solving everyday campus needs.
ISRO
Build a Diffusion-Based AI system that predicts future cloud movement from past INSAT satellite images to enable accurate short-term weather forecasting.
IBM
Build an AI-powered solution with IBM Bob 2.0 to improve a real software development workflow. Attend the free Dev Day on 27 Aug 2026, compete in the 28–30 Aug hackathon, submit on IBM's official platform, and showcase your project on Wooble for expert review and portfolio recognition.
Department of Posts, Government of India
For more than 170 years, India Post has connected families, businesses, and communities across every corner of the country. From handwritten letters to digital financial services, it has evolved with India while continuing to stand for trust, reliability, and service. Now, for the first time, India Post is looking for its official mascot. Create an original character, give it a memorable name, and tell the story behind a design that can represent India Post for years to come.
