Welcome to X24, Extentia's annual 24-hour hackathon, where coding meets creativity! Continuing from last year’s stellar competition, this year’s theme is “AI as a Human Companion (Built with Synthetic Data)”!

Extentia Tower, Pune
What is X24?
X24 Season 8 challenges participants to reimagine the future, where AI is a trusted companion in both work and life. The theme, "AI as a Human Companion," invites teams to explore how AI can seamlessly “fold” into our daily lives — streamlining everyday tasks and making life easier, smarter, and more fun. It simultaneously pushes them to “unfold” AI’s potential, using powerful tools like Machine Learning, Generative AI, and Synthetic Data.
Participants from Extentia's six houses will form teams to tackle a challenge statement each, taking it from an idea to a working solution and eventually a business pitch!
