LAST_YEAR // 2025

Hackron was not just an event—it is a continuously evolving tech ecosystem. Built on innovation, collaboration, and scale, Hackron has established itself as a platform where ideas meet execution and talent meets opportunity.

With strong year-on growth, multi-college participation, and large-scale digital outreach, HACKRON last year was a banger event. Over the past edition, the event successfully positioned its impact by connecting with BLINKIT and solving their porblem statements in 24 Hours and was a huge success.
