Proud to share a memorable milestone from our journey at YUVA i-Cause 2026.
Out of 887 participating teams, 47 teams were shortlisted, and our team Arohana secured the 23rd position at the national level. This experience gave us the opportunity to work collaboratively, exchange ideas, and understand how innovative thinking can be applied to solve real-world challenges.
As engineering students, being part of this platform helped us strengthen our problem-solving approach, teamwork, and confidence while presenting our ideas on a national stage. It was a great learning experience that encouraged us to think creatively and stay committed to our goals.
Grateful to be part of Team Arohana and thankful for the support and guidance we received throughout this journey.

A hyperlocal skill marketplace that connects skilled workers (plumbers, electricians, tailors, repair technicians and more) directly with customers in Hubli-Dharwad — no middlemen, no commission, no app install needed.
Workers create a Skill Card in 2 minutes, upload work proof, get verified by a local admin, and start getting hired directly via WhatsApp or call.
In cities like Hubli-Dharwad, thousands of skilled workers struggle to find consistent work. Big platforms don't cover Tier-2 cities. Middlemen take large cuts. Word-of-mouth only goes so far.
Workers lack a digital identity. Customers lack trust signals.
SkillBridge fixes both.
