STUDENT LIFE

Your year, day by day.

What a day and a week look like, where you will study and live in Indore, and the culture of the cohort.

Intense by design

Core, months 1–3

Monday to Saturday on campus.

Wednesday is challenge day.

Tracks, months 4–7

Wednesday and two Saturdays a month are challenge days.

Out of class, all year

Venture work, challenge work and reading, at home.

All year

Campus life

Where you will study

Classrooms, building space and common areas for a cohort of 40.

ACCOMMODATION

Where you will live

Where you live is part of the decision, so we will say plainly what is and is not in place yet.

Living at home

For Indore families, your child can live at home for the year. That is an advantage.

Moving to Indore

We will not promise arrangements that are not in place yet.

Founders huddled intensely around a warmly glowing laptop screen inside a brick workshop studio late at night with blueprints and prototypes scattered across an oak table, cinematic moody lighting.
WHAT IT COSTS

Rent, food and utilities, set against three metros

About 37% to 60% lower than Bengaluru, Delhi or Mumbai, on 2026 planning estimates.

CULTURE

What the cohort is like

One section of 40

One section of 40

You spend the whole year with the same cohort, in the same room.

Challenge days

Challenge days

Wednesday is challenge day. You present, you defend your work, and you hear from people who are not your teachers.

Builders around you

Builders around you

Everyone is running a real venture. The people beside you are doing the same hard thing.

Operators, not lecturers

Operators, not lecturers

The people who teach have built and run things. Ask them what really happened.

Safety and care

Who looks after students

We will not promise accommodation or safety arrangements that are not yet in place. Parents are welcome on every call, and can ask anything.

GETTING HERE

By air and by rail

Indore has direct flight and rail access.
