Overview
Galuxium Nexus V2 is an online hackathon run by Galuxium and hosted on Devpost, carrying a total cash prize pool of ₹1,00,000. It is a build-and-submit competition rather than an accelerator or grant scheme: entrants register on Devpost, ship a working project and hand it in before the window closes.
The brief spans three tracks — Enterprise, Machine Learning/AI and Productivity. Teams and solo builders can choose whichever theme suits their idea and build a solution around it.
The competition runs from July 15, 2026 to August 1, 2026, with August 1, 2026 as the closing date for submissions. Participation is open worldwide, so Indian founders, students, developers and designers take part on exactly the same footing as anyone else. Judging criteria and the detailed rulebook sit on the official Devpost page for the event.
