Nirmaan Bharat 1.0 is a nationwide AI hackathon, organized by Aorta Rooms Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with IIT Bhubaneswar, to empower students and innovators to build solutions that truly matter. Our vision is to tackle real challenges — especially those faced by rural India that are often ignored or never executed well — alongside a few critical global and national issues. By bringing together 20,000+ students from 100+ colleges, guided by industry mentors and problem statements in agriculture, healthcare, sustainability, education, and more, we aim to turn innovation into meaningful impact. Nirmaan Bharat is more than just a hackathon — it’s a movement to discuss, decode, and execute solutions for Bharat’s future.

Aorta Rooms Pvt. Ltd. began as a hospitality and co-working startup, making travel and workspaces simpler and smarter through innovations such as the Categorised Hotel Model, Darbaan AI for voice-enabled bookings, and Aorta Pookies for on-ground guest support. Meanwhile we realised that real progress comes from people with ideas – students, founders, and young professionals – who need the right platforms and networks to turn their ideas into impact. That insight led us to extend our mission beyond rooms and workspaces to building spaces for innovation. We are not just providing rooms, but enabling the next generation of innovators.
