About

Team1 India is the official India chapter of Team1 (/tags/team1), part of Team1's global network of builders, creators, and community organizers driving Avalanche adoption.

About Team1 India

The chapter runs its own programming under the shared Team1 identity, focused on bringing hands-on building experience directly to Indian developer communities and university campuses.

Products & Initiatives

Team1 India runs Team1 Hacks, a multi-city, builder-focused hackathon tour that visits cities across the country. Each stop is a time-boxed, 36-hour hackathon where developers, designers, and newcomers build on Avalanche with mentorship and networking with local Team1 and Avalanche India members, and the strongest projects from each city move forward for consideration in Team1's Mini Grant Fund (/tags/team1-grants).

Partnerships

The hackathon tour is run in coordination with Avalanche India and local venue and community partners across the cities it visits, extending Team1's global three-track model of community, technical, and content programming into the Indian market.
