Coastal Innovation Hackathon 2026
A national 24-hour hybrid hackathon hosted and managed end-to-end by ArkeeLabs — event logistics, operations, and technical execution for 30 teams at Sahyadri College, Mangaluru.
Run a national hackathon with zero prior infrastructure.
Sahyadri College needed a partner to design, plan, and execute a 24-hour hybrid hackathon from scratch — branding, registration, judging, live leaderboards, mentoring, and on-ground logistics for 30 teams competing for Rs. 1.5 lakh in prizes.
No existing platform, no prior events at this scale, and a timeline of under 8 weeks from brief to event day.

- Live judging leaderboard with real-time scoring
- Full branding: posters, banners, social media campaigns, and content strategy
