The Story
Before Osprexon, there was HackLab.
HackLab was born from a simple belief: students shouldn't have to wait until college to build real things. Inside DAV CPS Haridwar, the same three founders who later built Osprexon — Ananye Tyagi, Tejas Sharma, and Aviral Tyagi — created a space where any student could learn to code, collaborate with peers, and master modern technology that solves actual problems.
From the very first line of code to mastering advanced development — HackLab provides the knowledge, mentorship, and collaborative environment to make it happen. Whether you're into web development, AI, algorithms, or design — there's a place for you here. All resources are completely free.
What began as a school club evolved into a structured innovation lab with its own learning platform, community forums, event calendar, and an active ecosystem of passionate student innovators.
