📌 About the Event
The Zynetrox National Online Hackathon (May 2026 Edition) is a fast-paced monthly digital innovation sprint organized by Zynetrox, India’s dedicated virtual student hackathon platform.
Designed specifically to bypass the logistical hurdles of on-ground competitions, the event allows young developers, engineers, and product enthusiasts to pitch solutions to critical real-world problems directly from their homes.
