Forged In Fire 2026

Forged in Fire 2026 is a hackathon focused on building functional projects rather than just presentations, hosted at Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology (BPIT), Delhi. The event features an online round on September 21, 2026, where participants must demonstrate a working demo/prototype, technical architecture, and explain the project's impact.

Teams that qualify will proceed to an offline finale at BPIT on September 29, 2026, to further develop and present their solutions. The hackathon includes sponsored tracks like 'n8n Sponsored Track' focusing on AI automation and workflows, and 'Agentic Track' for building intelligent agent systems. An 'Open Innovation' track is also available for projects not fitting the other categories. The total prize pool is ₹10,000. Participants can expect goodies, free food during the offline round, and a free n8n account for qualifying teams.
