What will the future of payments in India look like?
The DRUNIX Hackathon 2026, a fintech innovation initiative launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in collaboration with Citi, is inviting innovators to imagine, build and prototype solutions that could transform India's payments ecosystem.
Launched at the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2026, the hackathon brings together technology enthusiasts, developers, entrepreneurs and innovators to explore new possibilities in digital payments.
The central idea is clear:
Participants are encouraged to go beyond ideas and turn their concepts into working fintech prototypes that can address real-world challenges and create meaningful impact.
The DRUNIX Hackathon is an opportunity for innovators to collaborate, ideate and develop technology-driven solutions for the rapidly evolving fintech and payments ecosystem.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore new approaches to payment technologies and build solutions designed with three important principles in mind:
The hackathon is particularly relevant for those interested in fintech, digital payments, software development, APIs, artificial intelligence, financial technology and entrepreneurship.
The hackathon is organised by two major names in the financial and technology ecosystem:
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) × Citi
NPCI plays a central role in India's digital payments infrastructure, while Citi brings extensive global experience in financial services and technology.
Together, the organisations aim to encourage innovators to explore new ideas and technologies that could contribute to the next generation of payment solutions.
One of the exciting aspects of the DRUNIX Hackathon is the opportunity for selected innovators to access NPCI APIs and infrastructure for developing their solutions.
Instead of simply preparing a theoretical concept, participants can potentially use these resources to prototype and demonstrate how their solutions could work in practice.
This provides an excellent opportunity for developers and technology students to gain hands-on experience in building solutions around real-world fintech infrastructure.
The hackathon encourages participants to follow a journey from ideation to implementation.
A successful team could begin by identifying a problem in the payments ecosystem, develop an innovative approach, design the technical architecture and then build a functional prototype.
The focus is therefore not just on having a great idea.
Participants are expected to collaborate, experiment with technology and develop solutions that demonstrate both technical potential and real-world usefulness.
The hackathon is open to innovators interested in technology-driven solutions for the fintech and payments ecosystem.
It can be an excellent opportunity for:
Participants should be prepared to ideate, collaborate and develop a working prototype using the resources and infrastructure made available during the hackathon.

What would the ideal Indian street look like if it were designed around people, communities, nature, and sustainable mobility?
India’s Streets Reimagined invites participants to rethink the role of streets in Indian cities and develop innovative design ideas that make urban streets more inclusive, comfortable, safe, and vibrant public spaces.
Streets have always been an important part of urban life. From historic bazaars and neighbourhood lanes to modern avenues and transit corridors, they are not simply routes connecting one destination to another.
Streets support movement, commerce, social interaction, recreation, livelihoods, and everyday community life.
However, many urban streets today give greater priority to vehicles, leaving limited space for pedestrians, cyclists, public transport, informal activities, and greenery. Extensive hard surfaces, insufficient shade, and inadequate vegetation can also contribute to uncomfortable outdoor conditions and increased urban heat.
The India’s Streets Reimagined Design Competition challenges participants to imagine streets that can successfully balance mobility, ecology, safety, accessibility, and public life.
Participants can explore how thoughtful urban and architectural design can transform streets into healthier, more inclusive, and people-friendly spaces.
The central theme is “India’s Streets Reimagined.”
Participants are encouraged to rethink how streets can respond to contemporary urban challenges while retaining their role as shared spaces for communities.
Design ideas may consider aspects such as:
Rapid urbanisation has created several challenges for cities, particularly in densely developed regions such as Delhi NCR. Congestion, heat stress, air pollution, waterlogging, unsafe movement, and the shortage of quality public spaces can affect everyday urban life.
A well-designed street can serve multiple purposes at once. It can help people move efficiently while also providing opportunities to walk, cycle, rest, interact, work, and enjoy the surrounding environment.
The competition encourages participants to explore this balance through creative architectural and urban design solutions.
