Is there a stipend?
No. This is a 3-month (12-week) training internship with a program fee, not a paid job. In return you get paid tool accounts in your own name, mentors and workshops, and you leave with a live SaaS product you built with your team.
Who is it for?
Anyone who can attend in person 3 days a week for 12 weeks: students, fresh graduates, working professionals, career switchers and aspiring founders. Each team of eight mixes developer roles with non-coding roles (Product Lead and Growth), so you do not need to code to apply.
Do I need to know how to code?
Only for the four developer roles. Product Lead and Growth seats are for people who want to run customer research, pricing, launch and growth for a real product.
What does the fee cover?
Paid AI and cloud tool accounts in your own name, mentor time, workshops and Demo Day. Tool access runs for the full 3 months of the program.
Are the tools free?
They are included in your fee, not free. Every member gets their own login for the paid tools, not a shared demo account. Access runs for the full 3 months of the program.
What is the refund policy?
If you leave during week 0 you get a full refund minus a ₹1,000 processing fee. On the regular plan, ₹5,000 of the fee is a deposit that is refunded when you complete the program.
How much does it cost?
The full fee is ₹30,000. The current launch offer is ₹27,000, or ₹24,000 if you pay by Fri 30 Oct. You can also pay in three instalments of ₹10,000. Merit scholarships are available.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Pay ₹10,000 to confirm your seat, then ₹10,000 in week 4 and ₹10,000 in week 8 (₹30,000 in total).
How are applications reviewed?
On a rolling basis, so applying early helps. You get a role-specific take-home task within 24 hours, an interview within 48 hours of submitting it, and if selected an offer with 72 hours to confirm.
Which cohort will I join?
Cohort 1 starts Mon 16 Nov and cohort 2 starts Mon 30 Nov. Tell us your preference in the application. Cohort 2 keeps admitting late applicants until 20 Nov if seats are left.
