The largest thing DIYguru does. Four days in Pune, built around the Bharat EV Championship: a team-based design, build and performance competition, with the EV Recruitathon Pune running as the hiring layer on the final two days, in the same hall.
The merge is the point. Recruiters interview candidates they have just watched build and test a vehicle — a hiring signal no resume screen produces.
| Day | Championship track | Hiring track |
|---|---|---|
| Wed 3 Mar | Team arrival, technical scrutineering, safety inspection, opening ceremony | — |
| Thu 4 Mar | Design presentations, static events, judging round 1 | Recruiter setup, sponsor briefings |
| Fri 5 Mar | Dynamic events, endurance and efficiency runs | Recruitathon day 1 — scheduled interviews |
| Sat 6 Mar | Finals, awards, closing ceremony | Recruitathon day 2 — open walk-in, offers |
60–80 teams, 400–500 competing participants from 25+ institutions, and 3,000+ total footfall across the four days.
