What is Codeastra?
Not a hackathon.
A pressure test.
CodeAstra is a 24-hour offline hackathon under Synergy 2027, bringing together students and young developers to build innovative, real-world technology solutions. Unlike a traditional hackathon, CodeAstra goes beyond the code challenging participants not only to build, but also to adapt, collaborate and solve under pressure.
01
Build
Turn ideas into functional, real-world solutions.
02
Adapt
Respond to unexpected challenges through the Chakravyūh.
03
Collaborate
Connect with teams from other domains through Convergence.
04
Prove
Demonstrate the final product through a live, working demo.
The four domains
Pick your arena.
Every team competes inside one domain then gets forced outside it. That is the point.
Domain 01
Web & Product Development
Build functional digital products, platforms and web applications that solve real-world problems.
Domain 02
AI & ML
Create intelligent solutions using artificial intelligence, machine learning, generative AI, computer vision, NLP and intelligent automation.
Domain 03
Cloud Computing & Distributed Systems
Design scalable systems across cloud platforms, distributed architectures, microservices, load balancing, databases and resilient infrastructure.
Domain 04
Cybersecurity & Digital Trust
Build secure systems and explore cybersecurity, privacy, digital identity, threat detection and trusted digital infrastructure.
Temporary problem statements
Pick your problem.
Twelve starting points across the four domains. Browse them here, then lock one in on the registration form. Final statements drop at launch.
Intelligent Auto-Scaling for AI Workloads
Cloud AI workloads can fluctuate dramatically. Running excessive GPU infrastructure wastes resources, while insufficient resources cause unacceptable latency.
Distributed Data Synchronization System
Design a system that keeps data synchronized across geographically distributed services while handling network delays, conflicting updates and temporary disconnections.
Autonomous Cloud Operations Platform
Design an intelligent cloud operations platform that continuously observes infrastructure, detects anomalies, predicts failures and recommends or executes corrective actions.
Phishing Email/URL Detector
A tool/browser extension that analyzes emails or links and flags likely phishing attempts with reasoning.
QR Code Safety Scanner
Scans QR codes before opening them and warns users if the destination looks malicious.
Secure Voting System for College Elections
A tamper-evident digital voting prototype for student council elections with audit logging.
Crop Disease Detector from Leaf Images
Upload a photo of a plant leaf and get a probable disease diagnosis with remedies.
Personal Finance Advisor Chatbot
A conversational assistant that analyzes spending patterns from uploaded bank statements/CSV and gives saving tips.
Traffic Congestion Predictor
Predicts congestion on common city routes using historical + live data for better commute planning.
Blood Donor-Recipient Matching Web Platform
A web portal connecting blood donors with recipients/hospitals in real time based on blood group and location.
Health Outbreak Detection & Alert System
Analyse real-time health and public-health data to detect unusual disease patterns early and issue timely alerts about potential outbreaks.
Event Co-Planning Website for Friend Groups
A website where a group can propose event ideas, vote, split costs, and finalize plans without endless group-chat back-and-forth.
The Codeastra journey
8 phases. 24 hours.
No hiding.
From the first idea submission to the final live demo every phase is designed to push teams further, faster, and beyond what they thought possible in 24 hours.

Chakravyūh · Title sponsor · Trial & reward
The twists.
Three moments where the plan breaks on purpose. The teams that adapt, win.
Twist 01
Title Sponsor Round
A dedicated challenge inspired by the Title Sponsor’s brand, values, products or identity. Revealed during the hackathon: understand → innovate → build → present. Special recognition for the winning team.
Twist 02
Trial & Reward
4 domains → 4 trials → 4 rewards. A domain-specific challenge lands mid-build with a limited clock. The best team in each domain earns a strategic advantage for the final stage.
Twist 03
Chakravyūh
The unexpected turn. Requirements shift, constraints tighten, and roadmaps get tested. This is the Adapt pillar resolve under pressure instead of rehearsing perfection.
Convergence
Two teams. Two solutions. One integrated outcome.
Teams are paired preferably across domains to integrate a meaningful component of each other's solution. Collaborate → integrate → adapt → demonstrate. Judged on quality of integration, technical execution, innovation and value created.
₹15,000
Convergence prize shared by the winning integrated teams.
Cross-domain
Forced collaboration outside your comfort stack.
Live proof
Both integrations demoed, not slideware.
