Yuva Yodha Energy Tech Hackathon

Pays student teams in India up to ₹20,00,000 to build working energy and sustainability prototypes at a national hackathon.

OpenSchneider ElectricIndia

Schneider Electric runs this as a single-elimination hackathon administered through the YouNoodle platform, open to solo entrants or teams of up to four, and every team member individually has to meet the same eligibility criteria as the team's lead. After registration closes, teams spend a six-week Prototype Phase turning their idea into a working prototype, followed by a week-long judging phase

Schneider Electric wants Indian innovators, engineers, designers and problem-solvers to turn energy and sustainability ideas into working prototypes that help build a cleaner, more energy-efficient India. Solo participants or teams of up to four compete, and every submission must be original work that doesn't rely on unauthorized AI-generated or plagiarized material.
