Jury
Jury and evaluators
Faculty and senior professionals who score submissions independently, verify AI recommendations and judge the physical finals in Chennai or Coimbatore. Blind-first scoring, declared conflicts, real accountability.
Get Involved
Lend your judgement to the next generation of builders.
Season 2 runs on experienced people: jurors who verify outcomes, mentors who sharpen builds, and sponsors and partners who widen the stage. If that is you — or your organisation — send a request below. Every submission gets a tracked reference and a reply by email.
The Roles
Four ways in.
Mentor
Mentors
Practitioners who review team progress at structured checkpoints — honest questions, written feedback, and the experience student teams cannot Google.
Sponsor
Sponsors
Organisations that back the prize pools, participant experience and finals production — with verified, honest visibility across both editions.
Partner
Partners and hosts
Institutions and ecosystem organisations that host, co-deliver or extend Foundry. Partnerships are announced only after they are formally confirmed.
- Requests are reviewed by the organiser team, not auto-approved
- Jury and mentor onboarding runs through the operational platform after review
- Conflicts of interest are declared and enforced for anyone who evaluates
- You will receive a reply by email with a tracked FND-SUP reference

This form reaches the same tracked operational support desk as every other enquiry — nothing gets lost, and nothing is auto-approved.
