Calcutta Hacks, the City of Joy’s 24-Hour Heritage Hackathon
Calcutta Hacks is Kolkata’s very own 24-hour hackathon, celebrating the vibrant fusion of culture, creativity, and cutting-edge code. Set in a city that pulses with art, intellect, and invention, this event invites innovators to rediscover Kolkata’s timeless charm — through technology that feels local, lively, and lasting.
From the legacy of trams, tea, and Tagore to the modern rhythm of startups and smart cities, Kolkata stands as a living canvas — where every street tells a story. Calcutta Hacks pays tribute to this heritage, challenging participants to reimagine the city’s spirit through tech that empowers communities, preserves traditions, and amplifies urban life.
Happening on December 14–15, 2025, Calcutta Hacks will unite developers, designers, storytellers, and changemakers for an electrifying 24-hour sprint of ideas, prototypes, and demos — all inspired by the soul of Kolkata.
