Qualcomm India issued a press release on June 23, 2026 announcing the Snapdragon Multiverse Hackathon, a two‑city developer challenge to be held in Bengaluru and Noida. The Bengaluru edition will take place on July 11‑12, 2026 at the Qualcomm Bengaluru campus, while the Noida edition is scheduled for July 18‑19, 2026 at the Qualcomm Noida campus.
Registrations are open until June 28, 2026 for the Bengaluru edition and until July 5, 2026 for the Noida edition. The hackathon targets developers, students, and innovators, allowing teams of three to five members to register via the provided Qualcomm developer event links.
The competition is designed to push AI innovation beyond single‑device prototypes. Selected teams will build cross‑device AI applications using Snapdragon‑powered AI PCs, mobile devices, Arduino UNO Q boards, and the Qualcomm AI Cloud 100 platform. Participants are expected to define high‑impact use cases across productivity, smart infrastructure, intelligent assistants, connected devices, and emerging AI‑led workflows, with an emphasis on making AI experiences more useful, accessible, and scalable.
OnePlus has been named the Official Mobile Device Partner and Sarvam the Official AI Partner for both city editions. Teams will receive expert mentorship, access to Snapdragon‑powered platforms, and Qualcomm developer resources throughout the high‑intensity build environment.
Multiple award categories will be offered. Winning teams will be granted Snapdragon‑powered devices, ongoing support from Qualcomm Developer Relations, and visibility through Qualcomm’s developer ecosystem and community channels. Selection will be based on proposal strength, technical approach, and real‑world application potential.
Through this hackathon, Qualcomm reiterates its commitment to strengthening India’s developer ecosystem and advancing on‑device and distributed AI solutions that can address practical challenges across India and beyond. Limited seats are available for each city edition.
