Who won the ₹10,000 BORN connection challenge?

Raj Ram won BORN’s ₹10,000 competition for the most connections. In the leaderboard snapshot, just three connections separate him from second place. Five separate first and third. It was a close result at the top, with Rushi and Govind both worth a mention.

These figures describe the snapshot accompanying this announcement. You can visit the BORN live leaderboard to explore the current standings. As people continue connecting, the live totals may change.

What was the BORN connection challenge?

The competition ran from 1–7 November 2026, offering a ₹10,000 prize for making the most connections. It gave people an extra reason to introduce themselves, meet someone new and save a way to stay in touch. The giveaway is now closed, and this announcement celebrates its winner.

A leaderboard makes the result easy to see. Behind each number is a person you can find again. That might be someone building a project you’re curious about, a possible collaborator or simply someone you enjoyed talking to.

Thank you to everyone who joined in. Whether you finished near the top or made a few connections you want to keep, we’re glad you were part of it.

Meeting the community at India Blockchain Week and Devcon

BORN attended India Blockchain Week and Devcon, where we met up with the community in person. Thank you to everyone who spent time with us, said hello and stayed connected through BORN. It was good to put faces to names and share a conversation.

If we met you at either event, we’d love to keep in touch. Open your saved connections, find the people you spoke with and pick up where you left off.

How BORN helps you stay connected

BORN gives you a simple way to share your profile and return to the people you’ve met. A tap of a BORN Band or card opens a profile with the links its owner has chosen to share. Saved connections bring those people together in the web app.

That makes the next message easier. You can return to someone’s shared links rather than trying to remember which handle they gave you in a crowded room.

Open your saved connections in the BORN web app when you’re ready to get back in touch. The details help you reach someone; remembering your conversation helps you decide what to say.

Three ways to keep the conversations going

Start with one person you enjoyed meeting. A short, specific message is enough to pick up the conversation. Mention where you met, refer to something you discussed and make the next step easy. You don’t need to work through every connection at once.

1. Send what you promised. Share the link, resource or introduction you mentioned when you met.
2. Add a little context. Write a short note about the conversation so you can remember it later.
3. Make your message personal. Ask about their project or return to a shared interest, rather than sending the same greeting to everyone.

For example, you could write: “Good to meet you. You mentioned you’re looking for a designer, so here’s the portfolio I promised to send.” Use the details from your own conversation.

Our guide to keeping track of people you meet at conferences walks through a simple habit: note, tag and follow up. It’s useful when several good conversations start to blur together.
