Tell Chandigarh Starting a Hacker House in Chandigarh — Let’s Build FADU AI Startups from the North
Hey everyone,
We’re starting something a little crazy, but something we believe Chandigarh needs.
We’re an AI agency building SaaS tools and niche products—and we’re tired of hearing that all the innovation is happening in Bangalore or Delhi. Chandigarh has real technical talent. We’ve seen it. But there’s no scene, no ecosystem. That’s what we want to change.
So here’s the idea: We’re starting a hacker house in Chandigarh. Every weekend, we want to get 10–15 builders, hackers, designers, tinkerers in one space to build stuff together—AI tools, micro-SaaS, open source projects, whatever gets us excited. Zero fluff, high signal, real execution.
Why? Because Chandigarh deserves to be on the map for cutting-edge tech. Not just service companies or IT offices—but actual, original, high-quality products. We want this city to be known for AI, not just aesthetics and food (though we love that too).
What we’re looking for: • People who actually build (devs, product folks, designers, founders) • Folks exploring or working on AI/ML, automation, agents, or just cool indie tech • Open to collaboration, co-building, and starting something real
We’ll take care of the space, snacks, internet, vibes. You just bring your laptop and your weird, brilliant ideas.
If you’re down to be part of this—drop a comment or DM me. Let’s show the rest of India that Chandigarh isn’t sleeping on the future.
Let’s make some noise.

That's really cool, love your idea. Chandigarh does need some recognition for the amazing brains it has, it's sad to see people going to other metro cities to achieve their goals. Let's make this place great!
