Road to Sub0 India - Builder Party: BLR Hackerhouse ft. Zo House Whitefield
An intensive 3-day Hackerhouse at Zo House Bangalore (Whitefield) as we bring the Road to Sub0 India series to its grand finale. After traveling through 11 cities across India, we're gathering the builders selected from the participants of the Polkadot Builder Party hackathon for three days of focused building, collaboration, and innovation in the Polkadot ecosystem with the aim of ultimate final submissions.
This exclusive Hackerhouse is your chance to work alongside fellow builders who've been selected from the entire Indian participant pool of Builder Party hackathon. Hosted by Edgetributor SubDAO and MontaQ Labs, with support from the Polkadot Roots initiative, you'll have access to mentorship, resources, and an environment designed for deep work. Whether you're refining your hackathon project or pushing new boundaries in parachain development, this is where ideas turn into production-ready solutions. Space is limited to selected participants only.
