FAQ

Before you join the waitlist

What is SIHRA?

SIHRA is a 24/7 AI mentor for Smart India Hackathon teams, built by AI House and HiDevs. Teams upload their idea or PPT and get feedback in the style of an ex-SIH jury member, scored on five criteria. It helps teams find gaps before they face the real jury panel.

Who built SIHRA?

SIHRA was built by Deepak Chawla, founder of HiDevs and AI House. Deepak won Smart India Hackathon in 2017, served on the SIH 2024 jury and has 10 years of experience. SIHRA turns that jury perspective into an always-on AI mentor, and the top 10 teams get one-on-one mentorship.

Is SIHRA free for SIH teams?

SIHRA is currently open through a waitlist on aihouze.xyz/sihra. Teams share their idea or PPT, receive jury-style feedback across five criteria, and keep improving before internal and final SIH rounds. The top 10 teams by score are offered one-on-one mentorship with the founder.
