The organizers said projects considered commercially viable will receive immediate investment support along with mentorship and guidance for market expansion.

A total of 35 teams selected for the competition will be required to develop innovative and practical AI-driven solutions addressing challenges in sectors such as health, education, agriculture, tourism, and fintech.

The total prize pool for the competition has been fixed at Rs 150,000, including tax. Winning teams will receive cash prizes, trophies, and certificates. Organizers have also said participants will be provided with a secure working environment, high-speed internet, and catering facilities throughout the event.
