interesting!

shalini i think you must add the seed funding bit – yes the amount!

we have two very active rodinhooders from edu-tech – mandar and priyadeep. i will ping them both.

mandar is based in pune itself so i’m sure he’d be interested in what you are doing 🙂

is there a separate link for registering?

if so, you might want to add that.

Registeiring starts in September. So I will post the link here then! Seed funding is $ 25,000 which is roughly around 15 Lac Rs!

We accept startups from around the globe. This is an in-residence program, so for those 16 weeks two people from the startup will have to be in Pune.
