258,000 people took CAT last year.

Roughly 9,700 got an IIM seat.

Add every other top B-school and you're still looking at over 90% of serious, hard-working candidates who didn't make the cut.

If you were one of them — this is for you.

An entrance exam measured you on a single day, with a single test format, against a percentile cutoff you didn't control.

It didn't measure whether you can build something, sell something, or run a team under pressure. We're not going to test you on that either — we're going to put you in the room and let you prove it.

The offer

6 months, full-time 6pm - 4 Am , working directly with the founder on live business decisions — sales, operations, pricing, hiring, strategy. Not case studies. Not a classroom simulation. The actual company, actual stakes, actual outcomes attached to what you do.

What you'll do

- Own real workstreams end-to-end — sales support, proposal development, market research, operations — not tasks handed down and checked off
- Work in a fast, high-pressure setting where priorities shift daily and nobody's holding your hand through it
- Progress into managing pieces of the team or specific initiatives as you prove you can — earned, not scheduled




- Sit in the room for the decisions that actually build a company: pricing, GTM, who to hire, where the pipeline goes next

What you'll walk away with
- Real operating experience — the kind an MBA promises you in year two, except you're getting it now, for free, while getting paid
- A legitimate shot at a full-time offer at six months, based on what you actually did, not on a resume line
- Proof — to yourself first, and then to anyone else — that a single percentile score was never going to be the ceiling on what you're capable of

Who this is for
- Prepared seriously for CAT/MBA admission and didn't land the seat you worked for — whether you're now in a program that undersells you, or skipped it to look for something better
- High tolerance for ambiguity and pace — we'll tell you the outcome we need, not the steps to get there
- You finish what you start, and you finish it right
- Genuinely want to build, not just recover a bruised resume

Structure
- 6 months, full-time. Stipend-based Rs15000. Reviewed continuously — strong performers see expanded scope well before month six, not at the end of it.
