2BFT in Coimbatore.
Hackathon leg. Builder community. We come here often.
Days 1–4 of the Vibe Coding Hackathon ran in Coimbatore.
The 8-day Vibe Coding Hackathon didn't start in Chennai — it started in Coimbatore. 43 of the 80 total seats were filled by Coimbatore-area builders, working out of a co-working space for the first 4 days. The vibe was exactly what the name promised: music on, terminals up, and an unreasonable amount of coffee.
From there, the top teams moved to Zoho Corporation, Chennai for days 5–8 and the finale — sponsored by Zoho Community, 12 teams total, free entry.

Real Coimbatore people. Real shipping.
Coimbatore builders are a chunk of the 250+ we've trained across 6 cohorts. Some went on to ship products. Some came to hackathons. Some just read the newsletter and ship quietly. All of them are part of the network.

If you want a workshop or a talk, we'll come.
Coimbatore is a regular stop on our Tamil Nadu circuit. The Coimbatore–Vaniyambadi drive is about 5 hours by car, or a 50-minute flight if we're carrying a soldering iron. We've done both.
For corporate workshops, hackathon co-hosting, or a builder meetup in your co-working space — drop us an email. If the dates work, we'll be there. If they don't, we'll tell you when they do.

Coimbatore questions. Real answers.
Does 2BFT run events in Coimbatore?
+
Yes. We've run hackathon legs, workshops, and meetups in Coimbatore. The Vibe Coding Hackathon's Coimbatore leg ran as days 1–4 of the 8-day event before the team moved to Zoho Corporation, Chennai for the finale. We've also done private workshops for Coimbatore-based product teams and MSME owners. Coimbatore is on our regular Tamil Nadu circuit — expect to see us here 2–3 times a year.
Where was the Coimbatore leg of the Vibe Coding Hackathon?
+
The Coimbatore leg of the Vibe Coding Hackathon ran as days 1–4 of the 8-day event in June 2026. Builders built initial prototypes in Coimbatore before the team — and the finalists — moved to Zoho Corporation, Chennai for days 5–8 and the prize ceremony. 43 of the 80 total seats were filled by Coimbatore-area builders. See /hackathon for the full recap and the after-movie.
Can 2BFT do a custom workshop in Coimbatore?
+
Yes. We do custom workshops in Coimbatore for product, ops, and marketing teams. Half-day (4 hours), full-day (8 hours), and 2-day intensives. Topics: Claude Code setup, the 5-skill stack, and building an automation workflow your team can actually run. We've trained Kongu Nadu MSMEs, textile traders, and engineering teams.
