Founder OS · access support
How access support works.
We set aside supported seats in every cohort, so the cost of joining isn’t the reason a capable founder stays out.
Who can apply
Any founder who meets one or more of these:
- First-generation founder: no parent or guardian has run a registered business.
- Annual household income below ₹[X] lakh.
- Woman founder.
- Founder with a disability.
- Founder based outside a metro city.
- Returning to work after a career break.
What support can include
A fee reduction of [25% / 50% / 75% / 100%], a laptop on loan or a data allowance for the cohort, and travel support for in-room days on Cohort 01 (weekday).
How to apply
Tick “I’d like to know about access support” when you apply. We send a short form with a self-declaration. Where relevant we ask for one supporting document: an income certificate from your revenue office or an income tax return, or a UDID disability card.
What we never ask
Your religion, your caste, or your Aadhaar number. If you are eligible for government schemes for women, SC/ST or other founders (such as Stand-Up India), we will show you how to apply for them.
How we decide
Two people not involved in your admission review each request. You hear back within 7 working days. Your request stays confidential.
Keeping your support
Supported members follow the same attendance rule (85%) as everyone else.
