$15,000

worth of Branding, GTM Strategy, and ongoing support from Devalok.

Or tell your coding agent to submit it. Entries close 31 July, 11:59 PM IST.

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

This week we are inviting builders to put it to work and show us what it looks like in your hands. Build anything you like, from a full product to a small useful tool, as long as it runs on Shilp Sutra and solves a problem with real cause.

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.

To enter, you need

A public GitHub repository
A demo video
A live demo URL

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

Two ways to submit

Shilp Sutra ships with a hosted MCP server, so the coding agent you are already building with can file your entry for you. The form is open either way. Both land in the same place.

Through your agent

Connect the MCP once, then say it in plain words. Your agent will ask for your details, read every field back to you, and submit only after you confirm.
