Namaskar. Shilp Sutra is our open React design system: pick one colour and your whole interface takes on your brand.

We asked builders to put it to work and show us what it looks like in their hands — anything from a full product to a small useful tool, as long as it ran on Shilp Sutra and solved a problem with real cause.

It was open to everyone, solo or as a team.

What we are judging on

Beauty

How considered and polished it looks.

Functionality

How well it works and holds together.

Bharat-oriented problem solving

How meaningfully it serves the people of Bharat.

Judging includes how considered it looks. Before you ship any interface, run check_slop from our MCP over your components. It reads the design back to you and names what is generic.

Entries are closed

Submissions closed 4 August, 11:59 PM IST. We are reading what came in against the three criteria above, and we will write to every team that entered.

Shilp Sutra itself carries on. The design system and its hosted MCP server are open and free to use, buildathon or not.

Or wire it into your editor from the setup for AI editors.

The prize

$15,000 worth of full brand identity, GTM strategy, and ongoing support from Devalok Design and Strategy Studio.

We have partnered with 30+ startups globally to define their identity, position their products, and prepare them for launch and scale. We will bring the same support to the winning team.
