DevFest Gandhinagar: ship what’s next.
Metro Hacks.
Build it before the ride ends.
A two-hour solo hackathon on board a running Gujarat Metro train, the first of its kind in Gujarat. Every problem in the brief comes from the people who run the metro and the city’s public transport. Pick one, and have a working prototype by the time the ride ends.
- The network drops underground. Download what you need before you board.
- Offline problems are judged offline. The judges may switch on airplane mode.
- Bring your own data. None is provided.
- Two hours. One working flow beats a big idea that doesn’t run.
- Solo, no teams. Everyone builds on their own.
- Getting there. Make your own way to the station. Every woman taking part gets a drop after the ride.
One day. One platform.
All of open source.

What is DevFest?
DevFest is a global tech festival by Google Developer Groups: a community-run day of talks, codelabs and networking celebrating open source. The Gandhinagar edition is hosted jointly by GDG Gandhinagar and GDG Cloud Gandhinagar, and 2026 marks our eighth departure.
When and where is it happening?
Sunday, November 1, 2026 at Hall 12A, Helipad Exhibition Centre, Gandhinagar. Gates open 08:00. The hall is on the main Helipad ground: open it in Maps.
How do I get a ticket?
Tickets are on KonfHub now. Zero Index, Super Early Bird and Early Bird have all gone; Regular at ₹749 and Tatkal at ₹999 are still on sale, and Tatkal is the last fare before the gates. Every fare includes the full day, lunch, hi-tea, goodies and a certificate.
Can I speak at DevFest?
The call for speakers has closed for 2026: we had far more good proposals than we have stage time. The lineup goes up right here as it is confirmed.
If you want to speak in 2027, the community runs meetups all year, and that is where most of our speakers start.
What will be covered?
One platform, all day: AI & ML, Web, Mobile, Flutter, Firebase, Google Cloud, Kubernetes and open source. There are no parallel tracks to choose between, so you never have to miss one talk to catch another.
Do I need to be an expert to attend?
Not at all. DevFest is for students, first-timers and senior engineers alike: every fare includes the full day, lunch, hi-tea, goodies and a certificate. Come curious, leave connected.
Can my company sponsor or partner?
Absolutely: sponsor tiers and community-partner slots are open now. Write to gdggandhinagar@gmail.com for the deck and put your brand on the platform.
