Held on the 10th of December in Mumbai, Chhalaang Hackathon is bringing the most talented women under one roof, to solve challenging problems set by some biggest portfolio startups.

About Passion Connect

About the Hackathon

In the race for market share, revenue, and valuation, companies often forget the bigger picture – how having a diverse workforce is the path to creating truly remarkable, well-rounded businesses. The Chhalaang Hack is a reminder to all startups, that diversity is not just a ratio, but has a far-reaching impact on everything they do. This is why the hackathon has a unique structure – with 5 different problem statements for you to choose from.

Being a part of the Chhalaang Hack opens up opportunities, not only to win prizes and goodie bags, but to also interact with leading tech startups and seasoned technology professionals who will advise you on your problem statements. Your work will be closely evaluated by every participating startup, and they are very excited to explore career opportunities for excelling women in tech!
