Who?
We seek unconventional builders who demonstrate creativity, self-motivation, and a passion for learning.
How?
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. If we find a potential fit, we’ll invite you for a video interview. Our goal is to respond to all applications within 2–4 weeks.
Why?
This fellowship is inspired by our grandmother, Manju, who recently celebrated her 80th birthday. She’s one of the most creative and entrepreneurial people we know.
Manju grew up in a traditional Marwari family and never worked professionally. However, in another life, she could have been the CEO of Fortune 500 company. We’re excited for you all to meet her!
Grantors
We’re three brothers — Pranav, Akshay, and Nikunj. We all grew up in Ahmedabad, ventured to the US for college, and have been incredibly fortunate to embark on various entrepreneurial journeys.
