We didn’t expect finding sponsors to be this hard, especially for an offline program helping serious hardware builders turn their projects into products people can try.
Finding the right builders and partners seemed like the hard part. That turned out to be easy.
We now have 6 builders, 7 mentors and 8 partners. We’re looking for 4 sponsors at ₹50,000 each. Sponsors will be featured in co-branded content, videos documenting the builds, and on the support wall backdrop for our podcast shoots.
If you’d like to back a slot or support us in kind, DM me or @akperala, @buildwithsrini or @JaswanthBeere.
The cohort starts on Nov 1, with product trials and a showcase on Nov 6.

There’s something in the air
in dec 2025, me and @bharatgutta were sitting in communitie hyd winter carnival and were interacting with folks of filmmaking club to understand how we can build cinic, to match their career aspirations
we did our first event in jan, 26 with 50 filmmakers with a budget of 50k, got many hired
10 events, 9 months, more than 400 hires later, we are moving out of beta... we are doing "hyderabad film festival" with 2000+ participants and 25 lakh budget and launching @cinic_ai for public use
in my wildest dreams, didn't expect 2026 to turn up this way
and during the same time, @thefoundingco_ is another beast that got unlocked, 2026 has been a story of optimism
hyderabad never seen something this cold and this hot
@thefoundingco_ is an exception 😛
Every film festival is designed around stars, actors, producers and at times directors. We want to give space for people behind the camera who actually make things work.
@cinic_ai x @CommunitieHyd presents Hyderabad Film Festival 2026 on Oct 3 at T-Works
Supported by @MIB_India @TVAGA_Telangana @TelanganaCMO and @Indiajoyin
