The Degree Trap
Your degree doesn't prove you can sell
You spent 3-4 years on a degree. Companies still ask:"But can you sell?"
MBA-style content, zero job outcomes.You learn slides and frameworks but can't prove execution in interviews.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Still deciding? Here are clear answers — outcomes depend on effort, fit, and the market.
Fresh graduates and early-career professionals (0–2 years experience) who want to build a career in Sales or Marketing. You don't need a sales or marketing background — you need drive, curiosity, and a willingness to do real work.
Track A (Sales & BD) prepares you for revenue-focused roles such as SDR, AE, BDR, Account Manager, and Customer Success. Track B (Marketing & Growth) prepares you for pipeline and brand roles such as Demand Gen, PMM, Performance, and Growth. Track selection happens after the Foundation phase based on performance, aptitude, and your goals.
We coach toward competitive Track A and Track B packages based on role, company type, and your performance. Any figures discussed in counselling are guidance only — not guaranteed offers. Results vary with effort, fit, and market conditions.
Sessions are built around deliverables, not passive lectures. You work toward a portfolio of real artifacts (for example prospecting lists, marketing plans, GTM work, and CS reviews). Mentors are industry practitioners. We support placement readiness — we do not sell seat-count guarantees.
The programme runs for 12 months, with daily live classes (Mon–Fri), plus internship and placement support as part of the same journey.
Mentors are practitioners with experience in the roles they teach. Academic faculty are not used as primary teachers. We look for people with hands-on industry experience — campaigns run, deals closed, or revenue owned — not just theory.
The programme fee is INR 8 lakh for the full 12-month journey. It includes teaching, mentor sessions, challenge reviews, Career Launchpad placement preparation, and introductions across our hiring partner network. No hidden costs. Merit scholarships (up to 50%) may apply for selected Batch 1 candidates after the admission process — scholarships are not automatic.
Within the 12-month programme, students complete a structured internship with a partner company, then receive assisted full-time placement support and introductions toward Track A or Track B roles. Placement is assisted — not guaranteed.
Yes. Merit-based scholarships are available for Batch 1. Awards depend on performance in the selection process and are decided at admission — not promised before you apply.
