PACKATHON is a dynamic innovation challenge crafted for startups at various stages of growth, including the Validation Stage, Early Traction Stage, and Scaling Stage. This unique platform provides an incredible opportunity for startups to showcase their innovative ideas, cutting-edge product designs, and exceptional conceptualizations. Designed to inspire creativity and foster innovation, PACKATHON brings together visionary entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and mentors to collaborate, share knowledge, and push the boundaries of packaging design and materials innovation.

Since its inception, Packathon has emerged as a powerful platform for nurturing out-of-the-box thinking among young innovators, especially students from packaging, engineering, and allied disciplines across India. Each edition has grown stronger, refining its structure and expanding its impact on the packaging ecosystem. Last year, 23 exceptional teams were selected to showcase their ideas and products at Packathon 2025, demonstrating the event’s role in fostering creativity, industry collaboration, and real-world problem-solving with active involvement from industry experts, government bodies, and key stakeholders.
