Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a reactive tool that responds to prompts. We are entering the era of Agentic AI — autonomous systems that can plan, decide, and execute tasks independently. From automation and software systems to startup ecosystems, AI is evolving from assistance to independent execution.

To accelerate this transformation in India, the Build for India – Agentic AI Hackathon 2026 invites innovators, builders, and creators to move beyond experimentation and build real-world AI solutions that matter.
