Our USP

YC members don’t just learn; they actively engage in real-world business discussions
and gain access to resources that accelerate their growth.

Founder-Led Mentorship

Learn from real entrepreneurs. Get insights from those who’ve built and scaled businesses — not just taught theory.

Industry-Centric Curriculum

Built by the startup ecosystem. Learn what today’s founders, investors, and companies actually need.

Leadership First Approach

We build founders who lead. Master the bold, resilient mindset to scale teams, decisions, and lasting global impact.

Real-world
simulations

Solve problems, don’t just study them. Experience startup challenges, investor games, and case-based learning.

Elite Business
Network Access

Connect to those who matter. Access mentors, investors, and changemakers to fast-track your journey.

Build While You
Learn

Launch your startup, not just ideas. Start building during the program with expert feedback and real investor support.

In-House Startup Studio

Turn ideas into MVPs. Validate, prototype, and launch with expert hands-on support.

Global Exposure Programs

Think beyond borders. Join global bootcamps and immersions to gain worldwide perspective.

Monthly Power Summits

12 events. 12 opportunities. Network and learn from India’s top founders, VCs, and thought leaders.

Beyond MBA
Thinking

Strategy meets emotional intelligence. Build skills MBAs don’t teach - agility, action, instinct.

Cross-Domain
Inclusive

Any background. One mission. Whether from arts or science — if you can build, you belong here.

Personal Branding for Leaders

Be seen. Be heard. Be followed. Grow your voice through media training, storytelling, and branding.

  • Learn, Unlearn, Relearn

    The startup world never stops evolving, and neither do our leaders. We emphasize continuous learning and evolving with new insights and challenges

  • Execution is Everything

    Ideas come to life through action. We instill the discipline and resilience required to transform ideas into reality quickly, ensuring progress and results at every stage.

  • Value Creation First

    Every initiative we encourage is focused on creating real, tangible value for society, people, and the planet. Profit comes naturally when value is the priority.

  • Collaboration over Competition

    We believe in partnerships over rivalry. By fostering peer-to-peer collaboration and co-creation, we empower everyone to achieve greater success together.

  • Community-First Impact

    Our leaders aren’t just building companies; they’re creating ecosystems that support long-term, shared progress within the community and beyond.

  • Vision-Driven Mindset

    We train students to think in terms of 10x impact, setting ambitious goals with a national and global vision, and executing with clarity and purpose.
