Highlight of the year goes to the 10kdesigners annual graduation party. It was an experience that’s now engraved into our minds and one that we, the members of the community, will cherish forever!
Abhinav and Paul do not do events. They make experiences. And they found the perfect partners to bring that vision to life. The team at The Hub Bengaluru. 48 hours. Endless creativity. Lifelong memories. Abhinav Chhikara and 10kdesigners turned the terrace of Safina Plaza into a buzzing design powerhouse for Siliconhalli 24. From intense design sprints to sleepless hustle, the energy was electric—and the after-film captures it all through the stories of those who lived it. Here’s a quick look back at what made the weekend unforgettable: 💥 Creative Kickoff: On November 9th, designers hit the ground running, fueled by ambition and an unstoppable creative spirit. 🎤 Power-Packed Speaker Lineup: Legends from across industries shared wisdom and sparked inspiration, including: Paul Finney (Spacekayak) Abhinav Chhikara (10kdesigners) Swam (824Club) Vargab Bakshi (Wix Studio) Jayneil Dalal (Sneakpeek.design) Saumya Saxena (Coinbase) Anushka Chhikara (CD of Storytelling, 10kdesigners) Madhur (CD & Co-founder, BX Cohort) 🎨 Hackathon Madness: Designers pushed creative boundaries through the Design Hackathon All-Nighter, submitting jaw-dropping work by 7 AM Sunday—a testament to grit and passion. 🎧 Silent Disco at 3 AM: When creativity hit a high, the silent disco brought rhythm and relaxation to the hackathon floor. 🍻 Sip & Paint with Bira 91: Day 2 kicked off with creativity on canvas (and in bottles) thanks to Phooling.Around. 🏆 Sundowner Awards Ceremony: The grand finale crowned team ‘Call Me Bro!’ as champions, with custom made 10kdesigners branded iPods for every member—shoutout to Purvi Gupta, Sriram B., Mridul S. , and Mehul Jain! 🎉 Epic After-Party: Because no legendary weekend is complete without one! A massive thanks to our partners— Spacekayak, Wix Studio, .824Club, Local Ferment Co, Chinita Real Mexican Food, and Bira 91—for making Siliconhalli a reality. Everyone has their community.
