The way StartUp village works is that anyone with a startup idea can register on
their website for Rs.1000. You essentially register as a Founder and add your c
o-founders. After that you re given a coding and video task. Based on your perform
ance in that, you re called for an interview .Post this your startup gets enrolled
into what they call a course , which costs Rs.37,500 per founder. Enrollment into
the course gives you access to a number of scholarships and initiatives that aim t
o help students from their side, most notably the Start In College initiative. I
t is a free online course that tells you why and how to build startups even whil
e you are in college. Under this initiative, they have partnered with 233 univer
sities and provide 20 scholarships from Paytm for students from a low income bac
kground.

hat mentorship is very important in the journey of a startup but we have a limit
ed bandwidth in the size of a batch ranging maximum upto 10 startups. For the st
art-ups which are a part of the program, Money is only a small part of TLabs off
ering. The money we invest is to take care of the day-to-day expenses. As mentio
ned earlier, the real value comes from the mentorship and advice.
We look for following qualities in the team: passion, dedication, clarity of tho
ught, tenacity and agility.
Usually, it takes between 15 days to a month and a couple of meetings with the t
eam for evaluation and closure of the deal.

e infrastructure during the cohort tenure. Other amenities like high-speed Inter
