Verify deadlines on source links before relying on them. Values the dataset couldn't confirm are flagged in sienna; machine-parseable dates and costs are rendered in green.
Gappy AI
Best realistic cash win if you move now: solo-allowed, online, free, agentic-apps theme, ₹50K + pre-placement interviews + certificates for the top 10. Two catches — it mandates their Lemma SDK (not Claude) and the build window closes ~Jun 30, so it's a ship-in-days sprint.
Innovation Hacks
Cleanest fit on the board: model-agnostic (build on the Claude API), solo-friendly, online and free, with AI-agents/genAI/edtech themes and a winner certificate. Downside is the reward is credits/badges, not cash — so play it as a fast, winnable, portfolio-and-certificate build.
XPRIZE (backed by Google)
Marquee opportunity — $2M across 20+ prize slots, online, free, and individuals from India are eligible. App-building + small-business/fintech/edtech themes map straight onto an India-market SaaS. Catch: you must use Gemini meaningfully (not Claude) and the field is large (~15K registered), so treat it as a long-runway product push, not a sprint.
Major League Hacking (MLH)
Perfect on-profile build week: fully online, free, explicitly AI-agents themed, open globally, and you can use the Claude API freely solo. It's swag/portfolio rather than cash, so treat it as a fast, high-signal demo to ship and reuse.
Open Source Community (OSC)
The 'Best SaaS Product' category is exactly what you ship, it's model-agnostic (Claude OK), online, free, with a $4K cash prize and a 25-day window. One blocker to confirm first: the page suggests a students-only eligibility — verify before committing.
Dyndox
Solo-allowed, free, AI app-dev focus with certificates for all participants and a builder-acceleration cohort for the top 50. Rewards are non-cash (referral hardware/scholarships), and the event page wouldn't confirm 'online' explicitly — verify the mode before committing.
Alibaba Cloud / Qwen Cloud
Agent/app-dev focus is squarely in your wheelhouse and the pool is real ($70K+), but you must build on Qwen models instead of Claude, and India sign-up depends on Qwen Cloud account availability — verify you can register before investing.
AMD x lablab.ai
Online, free, AI-agents themed, but it leans toward building on AMD/ROCm infrastructure — off your Claude-API + web edge. Prize and certificate specifics couldn't be read on the lablab page directly; verify there before relying.
Major League Hacking (MLH)
Same free/online/global MLH format, but it's the general kickoff week, not AI-specific — a valid Claude-API build, just less targeted. Sooner deadline (mid-July) makes it good for momentum; rewards are swag, not cash.
Devfolio (for NSB Classic PTE LTD)
₹5L pool with an explicit AI track, registration open through mid-July. Two caveats: it's team-based (2–3, so you'd need a teammate) and the page labels it 'virtual' while listing Mumbai — confirm it's truly online before relying.
Elite Forums
Big numbers (₹2.5L winner, ₹50L+ pool, startup funding) and a Gen-AI track, but it's team-based (2–4) and only Round 1 is online — the final is hybrid in Mumbai. Good if you have a team and can travel for finals.
The Pokémon Company + Kaggle (Google)
Huge $290K pool and you can drive an agent with an LLM, but the core task is a Pokémon-TCG-playing agent — game-AI/RL territory, off your LLM-app + web edge and not India-focused. Worth a glance for the prize; the leaderboard likely favors RL specialists. (Dates verified via news, not the Kaggle page — confirm on site.)
