Pune builds. Together.
A city-level network for the people who code, design, experiment and launch real products, across every college, company and community in Pune.
01Manifesto
HackWithPune is Pune’s builder community for people who want to code, design, experiment and launch real products together.
02Positioning
What we are not
- Another college club.
- Only a hackathon organiser.
What we are
A city-level builder network that brings together Pune’s students, developers, startups, companies and technical communities.
Our purpose is a more connected, more active technology ecosystem, with a place for emerging builders to learn, collaborate, compete and turn ideas into working products.
03Seven pillars
Everything a builder needs, in one city.
- 01
Hackathons
Online and offline build sprints that end with working products, not slide decks. City-wide flagships, campus rounds and themed challenges.
→ - 02
Workshops & meetups
Technical deep-dives and regular meetups where builders teach what they actually shipped. Practical, small-room, no filler.
→ - 03
Open source & collaboration
Shared projects with maintainers, roadmaps and reviews. A place to make your first pull request and your fiftieth.
→ - 04
Startup & incubation
A path from prototype to company: founder circles, demo days, and introductions to incubators and early customers.
→ - 05
Internships & hiring
Companies meet builders through their work. Proof of skill replaces the résumé pile.
→ - 06
Mentors, sponsors & industry
Practitioners who review work, open doors and back the ecosystem, with clear ways to take part.
→ - 07
City-wide networking
One network across Pune's colleges, companies and technical communities so good people stop being invisible to each other.
