Our Mission
Why Tetrathon?
Five reasons this is worth your weekend
Real Problems, Real Partners
You build against actual problems industry partners bring to the table — not toy prompts.
Pick One Domain, Go Deep
Health, finance, agriculture or education. One track, one problem, the whole weekend.
Mentors, Not Just Judges
Mentors sit with your team through the build, not only when you demo.
Industry in the Room
The people who set the problems are on campus to see what you make of them.
Life After the Demo
Standout teams can carry a prototype into NIF's incubation — not just a certificate.
Aligned with India's National AI Strategy
Part of India's National AI Mission — building the compute, research and talent base for the country's next decade of AI.
