New Delhi [India], November 7: ML.ai, an AI coding agent, is hosting the first edition of INFRA SHIFT, a one-day AI hackathon, on 14 November 2026, challenging students and engineers to build a running prototype in a single day. The event will be held at Infrasity Office, Janakpuri West, New Delhi, India. In partnership with Infrasity and Geek Room, the hackathon will ask teams to pick one of four tracks, with entries judged on whether they actually work. ML.ai is positioning the hackathon around a clear conviction that building something that runs in a day teaches more than reading about it for a month.
Those four tracks begin with the AI-Powered Data Intelligence Platform, which asks teams to turn a plain English or Hindi request into a clean, deduplicated, source-backed dataset, shown on a dashboard with CSV export. VyaparAI calls for an operations copilot that turns a small business’s sales, stock or expense records into answers and actions, such as restock alerts. Circular Samjho asks for a simple web tool that turns a pasted public notice into a short summary in plain Hindi or English, shown beside the original text. The fourth, Open Innovation, is open to any AI agent that solves a defined problem for people in India, and it must work end to end on a basic phone browser in Hindi or English.
“Progress in software comes from experimenting, and most developers and students are held back less by ideas than by the cost and friction of trying them. At ML.ai, we are hosting INFRA SHIFT, as we address this and with this hackathon, we aim to let budding engineers or professional teams to test an idea in a single day and learn from what runs. We are keen to see what teams ship, especially those solving for how people in India actually work, said Taran Srivastava, Co-Founder of ML.ai.
