The Chanakya Project is a premier strategy, finance, and tactical management competition happening on 10/30/2026 at SVKM's Shri Bhagubhai Mafatlal Polytechnic in Mumbai.
Hosted by Chanakya, we are bringing together over 400 of the sharpest undergraduate minds to compete in live financial market simulations, game theory challenges, and high-stakes negotiation scenarios.
By focusing heavily on real-time decision making and strategic problem-solving, Chanakya provides a highly competitive and energetic environment. It serves as the perfect platform for forward-thinking corporate, tech, and lifestyle brands to directly interact with a highly analytical and driven student demographic.
Project Chanakya is more than just an 18-hour hackathon; it is a crucible where the next generation of innovators is forged. When these 400+ students stay up all night building, they aren't just writing code in isolation they are daring to build real startups that solve meaningful, real-time industry problems. By partnering with us, you are not merely securing brand visibility; you are investing in the dreams, resilience, and raw potential of young builders who will shape tomorrow's technology landscape. We invite you to be the catalyst that turns their late-night prototypes into industry-ready solutions. Join us in empowering these students, championing their entrepreneurial spirit, and making a lasting impact on their journey.
I am Shah Yug Vipulbhai, an undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering student at SVKM's Shri Bhagubhai Mafatlal Polytechnic and College of Engineering, and the lead organizer behind Project Chanakya. My focus is on bridging the gap between raw technical talent and commercial entrepreneurship.
Sponsors partner with our team because we bring a proven track record of successful, large-scale event execution combined with deep technical expertise. As the President of SΔИKHYΔ, our institution's official Mathematics Club, I recently conceptualized and directed The Matrix '26 managing everything from automated engagement workflows and live leaderboards to end-to-end participant coordination. Additionally, my hands-on experience working alongside platforms like Mepass to coordinate event software and sponsorship sourcing ensures that your brand’s investment will be managed with professional, logistical precision.
Beyond event management, I understand the high-stakes hackathon ecosystem from the inside out. Having pitched as a top 10 national finalist at the 36-hour eRaksha Hackathon at IIT Delhi, engineered complex architectures for multiple Smart India Hackathons, and won "Best Speaker in Finance" at the ACE Modern Senate, I know exactly what it takes to guide 500+ participants in building and pitching viable startup solutions.
When you sponsor Project Chanakya, you are partnering with an organizing team that understands both the technical rigor of a hackathon and the commercial ROI your brand expects. I am fully committed to ensuring seamless on-ground execution, maximum brand visibility, and direct access to top-tier talent.
