Event Overview:
Hack the Flame 2025 is a nationwide innovation sprint where developers, designers, problem solvers, and creators come together to build solutions that matter.
This is not another hackathon; this is a 24-hour offline creation marathon, powered by mentorship, community, and collaboration.
With an overwhelming response in the previous hackathon by Ignite Room, with 3000+ registrations, 300+ on-ground participants, and 70+ prototypes, this time around is going to get even bigger, brighter, and bolder.
