Phoenix

We asked if we should let the games begin, you said yes. We invited, you came. We worked towards those monumental three days that we breathlessly await every year, and your smiles and enthusiasm paid us back in double.

Who knew the Squid Games could see such a massive array of beautiful, non-violent involvement? Well, let's make it a point to remember all our lame jokes and the invigorating annual rise and reign of the Phoenix every time Google Photos shows you memory recaps of those three days for the rest of this year.

We'll make it a point to maybe act all tough and blink back a few tears too.

With this, we draw the curtains- Until Next Year!

Team Phoenix'25, signing off.

You saw the dish, but what about the chefs?

Presenting to you The Teams of Phoenix'25!
From the Social Team that posts these captions (Hi!) to the Tech Team that cosplay zombies due to their intense all-nighters, Phoenix was only made possible due to the multiple teams and people who left no fault in their hardwork.

A small applause for the team! And if you are in one of these pictures- give yourself a pat on the back; you deserve it.

Wars, music, and a bucket full of happy tears.

Team XplOriCa presents to you some glimpses from the 3rd and final day of Phoenix'25.

A day that started as early as 12am for our hacktonix participants, with a can of Redbull to keep the eyes open and the creative juices flowing. Clever arguments took the stage at The Podium, and ideas so novel that they blow your mind- only at The Pitchers.

We cannot forget the highlight of the day- the Robo War that had everyone on the edge of their seats as the thunderous sounds of bots clashing against each other filled the arena.

Ending the day on an emotional note, nothing better to soothe the heavy hearts of our mentors and nurture the spirit in the hearts of the new, than the very melodious band- Pancham!

Our eyes glistened as we watched the firebird preen her ruby wings, take flight, and disperse the most dazzling embers. As she lays down to rest, we wait until next year- to witness this magic again.

Team XplOriCa presents to you, with utmost pride, glimpses from the 4th edition of Hacktonix!

We stood witness to a lot of ground-breaking projects taking shape and multiple rounds of thorough judgment throughout 24 hours filled with innovation, thrill and sleep-deprivation.

Although, winners emerged from the pool of previously-handpicked finalists, every single person who has been a part of this event has surprised us with their dedication and zest.

Here's to watching more dreams unfold 💫

Team XplOriCa presents to you snapshots from the second day of Phoenix 2025.

The day kicked off with the lighting of the auspicious diya, marking the start of the 4th edition of our 24-hour hackathon, Hacktonix, followed by a series of thrilling technical and non-technical events.

We fully basked in the enthusiasm of all the participants in the wide variety of events, and hope that everyone paying our campus a visit during the day had a blast (with or without the involvement of paintballs).

Here's a tiny reflection of all our joyous contentment captured in a set of pictures, that could never really be enough to convey our hearts.

Team XplOriCa is proud to present to you some glimpses from the 1st day of Phoenix'25.

We kicked things off with the inauguration ceremony, lighting the diya as the Firebird took flight.

We hope everyone who came out had a great time—it was incredible to see such high spirits and enthusiasm all around!
