Rodic Consultants, Nasscom and Startup India launch InfraAI Challenge 2026
Rodic Consultants, teaming up with Nasscom and Startup India, just kicked off the Rodic InfraAI Innovation Challenge 2026.
If you're into AI and want to help shape better roads, energy systems, or climate-resilient infrastructure in India, this is your shot.
The challenge runs till November and is looking for fresh ideas to make public services smarter.
Prize 30L with potential 3-5cr investments
There's a ₹30 lakh prize pool up for grabs, and if your solution stands out during pilot testing, you could score minority investments worth ₹3-5 crore.
Shortlisted teams get engineering support, mentorship, and a chance to test their ideas on real projects like roads and highways, power distribution, urban water and resilience, and public-service delivery.
An external evaluation panel will shortlist applications, and the final jury will select the top three winners.
It's a solid opportunity to make an impact with AI while getting noticed (and funded).
