Hacker House Goa - India's Biggest Student Web3 Hackathon

/case-data/poster5.png

Some ideas hit different. This was one of them.

Pryashu, a legend in India’s hackathon circuit, came to us with a wild vision—building India’s biggest student-focused Web3 hackathon. And when an idea like this lands, you don’t overthink. You jump in.

Pryashu brought the deep blockchain expertise, and we at The Unpaid Company, led by Saurabh Jr., brought what we do best—creating hype, making waves, and ensuring that this wasn’t just another event. It had to be the event that people would talk about for months.

With heavyweight partners backing us—Nillion Network, CoinEX, Aptos, The Graph Protocol, Polygon, and Devfolio—we had everything we needed to go all in. And we did.

What We Did:

  1. Social Media Domination: Managed and scaled Hacker House Goa's entire online presence, making it a viral sensation in the Web3 space.
  2. Campaign Execution: Designed and executed social media campaigns that didn't just get impressions but sparked conversations.
  3. Event Planning & Execution: From scheduling to on-ground logistics, we ensured every moment was structured to perfection.
  4. Event Setup & Design: We didn't just organize an event; we built an immersive experience. Every detail, down to the setup, reflected the energy of innovation and rebellion.
  5. Marketing Activations That Stood Out:
    • Unfiltered Barbershop: Because great ideas deserve fresh cuts.

    • Tattoo Shop at a Hackathon: Because real builders ink their commitment.

The Outcome:

  • 7,000+ Registrations from eager hackers nationwide.
  • 300+ Hackers On-Ground at a fully-booked resort in Goa, coding for seven straight days.
  • 1 Million+ Impressions across social media.
  • $300K+ in Prize Pool, making it one of the highest-reward hackathons in the country.

Hacker House Goa wasn’t just an event—it was a statement. A proof of concept that India was ready for Web3 at scale. And it gave us something even bigger: the confidence to launch our own dedicated event studio arm.
