Namma Bengaluru
Challenge


What if you have an idea that could create a Better Bengaluru?
That’s what the Namma Bengaluru Challenge is all about:
Big ideas, real impact, in real time.
Namma Bengaluru Challenge (NBC), designed in collaboration with Social Alpha, is our way to give you the platform to address some of the city’s most pressing challenges, from urban mobility and waste management to education and climate resilience.

The next edition is all about tackling one of the biggest challenges we face: climate change. And we’re calling on startups, students, creators, changemakers, and everyday citizens to step up and build real solutions.
Because the climate crisis isn’t someone else’s problem. It’s ours. And Bengaluru deserves more than complaints and quick fixes—it deserves bold, collective imagination.

Namma Bengaluru Challenge isn’t just a pitch competition. It’s a platform to test, showcase, and scale real solutions—built for and by the people of this city.
So whether you’re building a climate tech startup, running a grassroots project, crafting the next viral reel, or just getting started in this space, if you’ve looked at a problem and thought “we need to fix this”,
