Technology & funding partner
Evolution Cloud Services is funding Escape Velocity — the same enterprise AI and cloud engineering problems their teams solve every day.
Hackathon 1.0 · EVOCS-funded · Velloe AI Innovation Center, Noida
ESCAPE
VELOCITY.
Hackathon 1.0
The speed it takes to break free and launch. One day to build with document intelligence, enterprise RAG, and multi-agent systems — the same problems EVOCS and Velloe engineers work on. Shortlisted builders get interviewed for a Velloe internship.

Why this exists
Velloe's first build day, backed by EVOCS
EVOCS (Evolution Cloud Services) is funding Escape Velocity, run out of Velloe's AI Innovation Center in Noida — the hub behind AI-ready infrastructure and enterprise AI systems. This is the first time that floor opens to builders from outside the company for a day, not to judge a demo, but to find people who think the way our engineering team does. The best individual performances get carried straight into Velloe's internship pipeline: interview, then offer.

Problem tracks
Pick a track, build solo
Hover a track for how to think, solve, and what to ship in your pitch archive.
“One goal, many minds.”
The living enterprise
Build a multi-agent system (planner, retriever, executor, validator) that takes a complex enterprise request from intake to resolution with no human in the loop until final sign-off.
Track 01 · Agentic architecture
Hover for how to think & solve →
How to think & solve
Decompose the request into roles before you write code. Define handoffs, failure modes, and where a human must sign off. Prove the loop closes on one realistic enterprise scenario end to end.
What to ship & archive
Working demo, agent-role diagram, one full trace from intake to resolution, and a pitch on what you would harden next.
Track 01 · Agentic architecture
“Every answer, sourced.”
Ask the company anything
Build a retrieval-augmented assistant over messy enterprise documents that answers natural-language questions with citations back to the exact source.
Track 02 · Enterprise RAG
Hover for how to think & solve →
How to think & solve
Start with messy documents, not clean samples. Prioritize citation fidelity over fluency — if you cannot point to the source, do not answer. Test with questions designed to break naive retrieval.
What to ship & archive
Query UI with inline citations, eval notes on 5+ hard questions, and a short write-up of chunking and embedding choices.
Track 02 · Enterprise RAG
“Relationships are the answer.”
The knowledge graph that talks back
Model entities and relationships as a knowledge graph, combining graph traversal with vector retrieval to answer multi-hop questions flat RAG misses.
Track 03 · Graph RAG
Hover for how to think & solve →
How to think & solve
Map entities and edges first; retrieval is graph walk plus vectors, not either/or. Design one multi-hop question flat RAG cannot answer — then make yours answer it with evidence.
What to ship & archive
Mini knowledge graph, visible hybrid retrieval path, and one live multi-hop win demonstrated in the pitch.
Track 03 · Graph RAG
“No legacy. No excuses.”
Healthcare from zero
Design and prototype a new healthcare product from a blank slate (patient intake/triage copilot or clinical documentation assistant), with privacy and auditability built in from day one.
Track 04 · Healthcare greenfield
Hover for how to think & solve →
How to think & solve
Treat privacy and auditability as product features, not footnotes. Pick one workflow, scope ruthlessly, and document every data touchpoint before you generate content.
What to ship & archive
Clickable prototype, one-page privacy/threat sketch, and an explicit audit trail for a single user journey.
Track 04 · Healthcare greenfield
“From scanned to searchable.”
Paper to structured truth
Ingest unstructured or scanned documents (forms, invoices, clinical notes) and extract structured, verifiable data from handwriting, tables, and inconsistent layouts.
Track 05 · Document intelligence
Hover for how to think & solve →
How to think & solve
Assume scans are ugly — skew, noise, handwriting. Extract structure you can verify field by field; flag low-confidence extractions instead of silently guessing.
What to ship & archive
Before/after on 2–3 document types, structured output you can validate, and the failure cases you caught.
Track 05 · Document intelligence
“Catch it before it spreads.”
The silent breach
Detect anomalous behavior across logs, network traffic, or user activity, and explain the reasoning to an analyst.
Track 06 · AI in cybersecurity
Hover for how to think & solve →
How to think & solve
An anomaly without explanation is noise. Tie every alert to evidence in logs or traffic; optimize for analyst trust, not alert volume.
What to ship & archive
Detection on sample telemetry, a reasoning panel per alert, and one false positive you deliberately avoided.
