About this event

Not every win comes with a trophy — some come with real-world impact.

In this session, we spotlight a powerful story from the Build for the Future Hackathon, where a team from Xebia — featuring Krishnnambal, Shubham, Sara, Murali, and Nandhakumar — partnered with Snehalaya, an NGO that empowers underprivileged communities, to build a scholarship management portal called Sneh Vidhya Sahayog.

The team earned a top 10 spot in the hackathon, but the journey didn’t stop there. With OutSystems offering a free ODC license for social impact projects, they turned their prototype into a fully functional live application.

Today, students use the app to submit scholarship applications digitally, making the entire process faster, more efficient, and more transparent.

We’ll also be joined by Shashikant Satbai, Trustee and IT expert at Snehalaya, who will share how this application is improving their scholarship submission process and driving real community impact.

💡 Whether you're joining the upcoming hackathon or looking to turn your project into a real solution, this session is packed with insights and inspiration.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

  • How the Xebia team found an NGO with a real-world need and aligned on a use case
  • What it took to evolve from a weekend MVP to a live production app using OutSystems ODC
  • How AO limits and user-type restrictions were navigated in production
  • Real feedback from Snehalaya on how the app is improving their scholarship submission process
  • A preview of the bonus app: Snehalaya Volunteers
  • Why building for impact is often more valuable than winning
