Hello Perplexity Team and Community!

I’m Raushan Raj, Student Coordinator at Codex Club, Quantum University, India.

We are organizing Q HACKATHON 2027, a 36-hour national-level inter-college hackathon scheduled for April 2027 at Quantum University, Roorkee, India.

About the Event:

  • Expected participation: 600+ student developers.
  • Duration: 36 hours.
  • Location: Quantum University, Roorkee, India.
  • Tracks: AI/ML, Web Development, Cloud Computing, Data Science, Cybersecurity, IoT and Software Innovation.

What We’d Love to Explore:

  • Perplexity API credits for participating teams to build AI-powered applications.
  • A “Best Use of Perplexity API” special prize track.
  • Technology partnership and developer resources.
  • Perplexity Pro subscriptions or goodies for winners.
  • Technical mentors or speakers for an AI-focused session.

Our objective is to encourage students to build practical AI-powered solutions for real-world challenges.

We have experience organizing large-scale technical events, including hackathons with 400+ participants from 25+ colleges and university technology festivals with 1,000+ participants.

My Questions:

  1. Who is the right person or team to contact regarding hackathon API credits and sponsorship?
  2. Is there an official process to request Perplexity API credits for student hackathons?
  3. Would the Perplexity Developer Relations or Partnerships team be open to exploring this collaboration?

We would be happy to share our sponsorship proposal and event details.

Thank you for your guidance!
