If you thought Calcutta doesn’t have a good tech scene, you were right 3 months ago. Not today.
My friend Sahil and I recently started Calcutta AI Club, and yesterday we hosted the city’s largest ever Vibecoder’s Hackathon.
60 participants, more than half of them never having coded before in their life. From teenagers to middle-aged corporates, a variety of people took part.
Instructions were simple - in 6 hours, build a working app with real world usecases.
From AI-integrated educational apps to industrial ERPs, to a PCOS tracking app and even a recipe sharing app. The results were super creative and too much fun to watch!
And you know the best part? The winning team was carried by a 13 year old kid! Seriously a child prodigy.
Grateful to our judges for giving us their valuable time - @abhishekrungta @RMantri @priyankarungta
Thank you for coming!
And of course thank you to our sponsors. None of this would be possible without your help! @CuePilot_AI @getalchemyst @indusnettech @AnuranBuilds
The tech landscape in this city is going to change very soon. The talent was always there, what lacked was a platform to showcase it.
We’re just getting started. Our goal is to turn Calcutta into a major global tech hub. @swapan55 @paulagnimitra1 @SuvenduWB we will need your help with that!
Miles to go before I sleep.

Difficult things are worth doing simply because they are difficult
Difficulty entails suffering
And suffering means you will definitely learn some important lesson from it, even if you don’t get the intended outcome
Excited for this!
We are very excited to be holding the Navam Annual Day program this year in Kolkata, the cradle of Indian science and industry!
Save the date: 🗓️ October 12 (Monday)

if you think about it. backends and internal apis are not required anymore
just give an agent root access to your db (and obv build some protective measures around it)
you can bypass the entire server
for example:
old method - an admin panel for internal use
new method - an agent that you (the admin) can talk to. it reads and writes directly to your db, bypassing the api
idk if im being able to explain myself clearly or if my logic is flawed, lmk guys
If you’re in #kolkata this friday and interested in mingling with a tech-forward crowd, come for this event
Calcutta AI Club is hosting it’s first social
The room will be filled with smart proactive people. There will be games and other fun activities!
Only for ages 21 and above 🚨

the thinking that "everyone will just vibe code their own software" was born from within a bubble
what's happening to software development right now has happened many, many times before to other things. you just need to look
web 2.0 allowed everyone to write blogs. did everyone write blogs?
instagram allowed everyone to share beautiful photos. did everyone share beautiful photos?
tiktok allowed everyone to make short videos. did everyone make short videos?
now vibe coding allows everyone to build software, and you think everyone will start building software? this time around, people are just different?
the mainstream is always a consumer, never a creator. go talk to some people outside of our tech bubble and you'll see - they literally don't give a f about vibe coding

No idea how to code
No idea how to use git
No idea what swift vs. ui kit is
No idea what a tech stack is
No idea what a SOP is
No idea what a design system is
Just an idea
Of what something should do, be, and look like- to the most obsessive degree

if you know, you know
You seriously underestimate how much you can do with time. 1 year is a fucking lifetime. 6 months is enough to go from 0 to 100. Even 1 week of full commitment 14 hours a day is enough to push the needle so far forward you won't even recognize yourself. Just do more. Just do what your heart desires. Just be better.
Just fine today means falling behind tomorrow
Need to keep adapting to new technology and increasing efficiency
Upgrade or die
Replying to @PaulKlayVC
but a lot of manufacturing msmes are functioning just fine with their current excel sheet setups -
do they really wanna invest that money into integrating modern tech?
