The iQOO Hackathon 2026 is here — an 8-hour, in-person AI-native build sprint happening on June 6, 2026 at COWRKS, DLF Cybercity, Gurugram. With a prize pool of INR 1,80,000 and 80 exclusive builder seats, this is not your average hackathon.
What Makes iQOO Hackathon Different?
This is India’s first phone-first hackathon. Every participant gets an iQOO flagship phone, and the challenge is to build AI-native applications that run primarily on the device. The format introduces a unique Red Light, Green Light system:
- Red Light (60%) — Phone-only build window via iQOO Office Kit. Laptops restricted.
- Green Light (40%) — Both phone and laptop unlocked for setup, mentors, and demo polish.
The Tracks
Participants choose from 3 curated problem statements + 1 open wildcard:
- AgentKit — Multi-agent system for student productivity. Phone is the interface, agents run on laptop/cloud via iQOO Office Kit.
- CampusOS — One intelligent OS for campus life on the iQOO display: timetable, OCR notes, lecture transcription, flashcards, expense splitter, placement prep.
- BrandForge — Autonomous AI social media engine. Trend-jacking, RAG over brand voice, multi-modal synthesis.
- Open Innovation — Free-form AI + phone build wildcard. Must demo on the iQOO phone.
