FOUNDING FELLOWS PROGRAM | COHORT 1

Build Early. Think Bigger. Create Impact.

KIVA is building India’s homegrown premium hydration brand at the intersection of FMCG, consumer wellness, innovation, and modern lifestyle.

We are currently at an exciting pre-launch stage—developing our products, strengthening our business ecosystem, engaging with incubators and industry partners, and preparing to bring our vision to market.

As we move into the next phase of our journey, we are opening applications for the first-ever KIVA Founding Fellows Program.

We are looking for a small cohort of ambitious, curious, and entrepreneurial individuals who want more than a conventional internship.
