[Pre-DevFest] The "Touch Grass" Buildathon
Sat, 21 Nov 2026, 09:00
Mumbai, India
Registration on luma.com
Originally organized by Devfest Mumbai. We always joke about developers needing to go outside and touch grass. Well, we're finally making it mandatory. Join us for a 2 hour sprint to build and ship an MVP - happening entirely outdoors in a park. We are stripping away the ergonomic office chairs, the perfect dual-monitor setups, and the air conditioning. It’s just you, your laptop battery, and whatever you can manage to build before brunch. What to Expect Nature, unfiltered: We are literally building in a park. You will need a fully charged laptop, a mobile hotspot, and probably some sunscreen. Trees do not have power outlets, and if your laptop is one of those that dies in exactly 8 minutes, create a remote coding setup at your house before you come. Actually Shipping: No three-month roadmaps or feature creep allowed. You have a exactly 2 hours to build a working prototype and demo it to the group. Zero Corporate Pressure: There are no enterprise sponsors breathing down your neck forcing you to use their specific cloud credits. Build what you want, however you want. Bugs (both kinds): You'll be debugging your architecture while dealing with actual outdoor elements. It’s the ultimate test of developer focus. Food afterwards is on us, but please carry water bottles, energy drinks, soft drinks / anything else you might need. Venue: Mumbai, India, Mumbai, Maharashtra, IN. Registration is handled by the original organizer. Original event and organizer: https://luma.com/rofymmm3
