Why builders stay
Craftora is built for cycles that fund milestones — not one demo-day raffle and a dead group chat.

Create or join a squad, answer host questions, and get approved before you ship. Roster, invites, and status stay on one page.

Payouts
Funded sprints lock the pool before builders join. Scores land, then payouts follow that sprint — USDC, credits, INR, or swags.

One programme, five checkpoints. Enroll, build, submit, get judged, get paid — the same rail runs under every sprint and hackathon on Craftora.
Both run on Craftora. Pick staged funding across weeks, or a tight demo window in a day or two.
Judging runs against a rubric the host publishes up front. Clear a stage, and its share of the pool releases.
Builders see the weighting before they enroll, and every score is visible once judging closes.
Same cycle. Two seats.
Launch a funded cycle and set the terms.
Tracks, prizes, team size, and timeline, live before anyone enrolls.
USDC, credits, INR, or swag, so builders see how rewards work up front.
Open judging, score published criteria, clear milestones in order.
Release prizes, then open the next stage on the same programme.
Join a squad and work inside the terms.
Enroll while registration is open. Lock team size before the deadline.
Repo, demo, write-up, inside the build window.
Judges use written criteria. Standing stays on the programme page.
Prizes follow scores. Your project page stays for the next cycle.
Craftora is OSEN's live product — the on-chain layer for the same community OSEN has spent years building.
ORIGIN
OSEN has spent years backing student hackathons, workshops, and dev meetups across India with sponsorships, mentors, and swag. Craftora is where that same community now runs milestone-funded programmes and keeps the receipts on a public project page.
The team
Craftora is OSEN's live product — the same crew running student hackathons now ships the buildathon rails.
Aman runs OSEN event ops and the ambassador network — campus activations, on-ground coordination, and the loops that feed builders into Craftora programmes.
Akanksha keeps the OSEN + Craftora community warm — welcoming builders, running conversations, and making sure every campus voice is heard.
Roshni shapes visual language across OSEN and Craftora — event creatives, brand systems, and the product polish builders see first.
Sameer crafts the sharp visuals for OSEN drops and Craftora surfaces — socials, events, and brand polish that keeps every release looking intentional.
Aditya turns OSEN and Craftora moments into stories — event recaps, builder highlights, and social-ready cuts that travel beyond the venue.
Mitansh holds the day-to-day community rhythm for OSEN and Craftora programmes — connecting builders, supporting campus leads, and keeping energy high.
Builder stories
Scored milestones kept us shipping in stages instead of one chaotic crunch night. We always knew what done meant this week.
Project Sanjeevani
Sprint team
The build-in-public format pushed weekly progress writeups. We actually shipped in the open instead of disappearing for a month.
Snapmind-AI
Builders
Payouts landed as soon as each milestone was scored. No sitting around after the hackathon waiting for someone to remember us.
