The IndeHub Hackathon
Powered by Swift Communities across India
One year ago, we embarked on a mission to create a vibrant ecosystem for indie developers across India. Today, that vision takes a giant leap forward.
Join us for India's largest iOS hackathon as we celebrate our first anniversary with the Swift Communities. Build revolutionary apps using the latest features from WWDC25!
The Journey Began with WWDC25 Watch Parties
On June 9, 2025, eight Swift communities across India organized synchronized WWDC25 watch parties. The IndeHub hackathon was announced at the end of the watch party.
A Coordinated Effort Across India
8 Swift Communities
United effort by leading Swift communities from Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kozhikode, and Surat.
Synchronized Experience
All communities watched the keynote together starting June 9, 2025 10:30 PM IST, sharing real-time reactions and discussions about WWDC25 announcements.
Inspiration for Innovation
The idea of a synchronized WWDC25 watch party across India, sparked the idea for a national hackathon challenge.
