AAROH 2026

A full-day student hackathon for ideas that deserve to become real.

Where builders get their first real shot.

AAROH is a Delhi NCR student hackathon that turns a single day into a proof of concept. No prior experience needed β€” just a real problem, a real user, and the drive to ship something testable.

Start with a problem worth solving. Build a prototype worth testing. Leave with feedback, recognition, and your next step already in view.

Choose a problem
worth climbing for.

Start with a real person, a real need and evidence you can test. Pick a track or bring a wildcard problem that matters to you.

One day. Three decisive moves.

The event is structured to turn a loose thought into something testable, explainable and ready for its next step.
