BLITZ Mumbai 2026 — One-Day AI Hackathon with ₹1.4L Prize Pool — Frequently Asked Questions

It is a one-day AI hackathon organised by the Monad Foundation. Participants spend the day building AI-powered solutions in a competitive, time-bound environment, submit their projects, and winners are announced after judging at the end of the event.

The event is held in Mumbai, India, on Saturday, June 20, 2026. It runs for a single day — the build, the submission and the judging all happen within that one day.

The total prize pool is $1,500, which is approximately ₹1,38,000 — described in the programme details as up to ₹1.4L. The prizes are awarded to the winning teams at the end of the day.
