It's a fellowship program driven by Rishav Agarwal (founder of Picxele who invested in 60 startups) where any first-time founder who is in the Product, MVP, or Revenue stage can apply and there are no Registration fees or Program Fees.
A complete ecosystem is driven to mentor the upcoming entrepreneurs by existing successful founders.
First Person who trusted and supported me in 2021 and still he has been ❤️
The love for Student Entrepreneurs that I have now is inherited or I would say I learnt from Ankur when in 2021 he was the first person who committed to investing in Picxele™ via HostelFund
Faith, Trust and Insights that he has shared with me over the years are invaluable, I don't trouble him that much now since he is also running and scaling Sunstone
But the fact whenever I asked him anything about Fundraising in 2021 while I was a Novice he stood up and explained everything in and out
Today I try to support student or early-stage founders via the Dhandho Fellowship and also via HostelFund along with him and that's where we want to add value to deserving founders (These channels we will be more active from the upcoming month with several activities)
Vocaski is India’s first structured, scalable life skills learning platform for kids aged 5-16. Through live, personalized, interactive, and outcome-driven programs, we bridge the gap between academics and real-world capabilities, fostering confidence, adaptability, and effective communication.
Saurabh, an Indian parent living in Australia for the past 14 years, witnessed a stark difference in how childhood education is approached. While India produces some of the world’s brightest minds, we often underinvest in essential life skills, leaving many kids struggling with confidence, decision-making, and creative problem-solving later in life.
Unlike traditional coaching classes or fragmented online courses, Vocaski provides a holistic, structured, and technology-enhanced approach to life skills learning.
✅ A Comprehensive Curriculum – Covering a broad range of life skills beyond
conventional academics.
✅ Interactive, Live Learning – Emphasizing real-time engagement and personalized feedback.
✅ Best-in-Class Tutors – A curated pool of 250+ expert educators specializing in life skills training.
✅ Personalized Development – Tailoring programs to each child's unique learning style and pace.
✅ Practical Application – Ensuring skills are immediately relevant and applicable in real-life situations.
We welcome Saurabh Nagpal at Dhandho Fellowship who will be working and growing along with us in the upcoming Cohort and will be guided by Rishav Agarwal#DhandhoFellowship#Founder#Startup

🚀 Big Congratulations to Isha Jhawar , CEO of REPEAT GUD, for securing a deal on Shark Tank India by Anupam Mittal 🦈🎉
As a fellow founder from the same home state (#Chhattisgarh), I can really relate with her journey as she has also been through pre-incubation at Dhandho Fellowship and incubation at #IIM-B’s NSRCEL , it’s truly inspiring to see this milestone.
The way she said "I reach out to any founder I see" and her 60 seconds pitch is a testament to the mindset that drives great entrepreneurs forward.
As Aman Gupta suggested to you for legal resolutions, DreamLegal's team would be more than happy to help you :)
Wishing Repeat Gud even greater success ahead—this is just the beginning! 🚀

When he was 15 and reached out to me he was unclear but passionate 😃
On 27th December 2024 Mukkabir texted me "Bhaiya we had our shark tank shoot, we didn't get funding but got good feedback from the Sharks"
I was like, wow, doesn't matter if you got the funding or not, you reached till there what matters the most
I have known Mukkabir since 2023, when he applied for the Dhandho Fellowship. When I first spoke to him, I was not that confident in him, but the only reason I selected him was that he was very young and passionate
From that day till today, whatever happens, be it winning a Competition, Getting Grants, Building Prototypes, Doing Pilots, anything and everything he drops me an update
I started becoming more inclined towards him because of the way he used to constantly update me without any expectations, whereas in today's world, 99% reach out to me with "I want Investment"
People tend to forget that if Angel is investing, it is not about money, and with me, I build more long-term relationships if you are in the early stage or a student entrepreneur
From the entire Cohort of the Dhandho Fellowship, which I ran in 2023 for free, only 7 Startup Founders are there who, till today value the Fellowship and remain in touch with me
Cheers to Team Klimate for building and innovating such amazing products 🚀
PS: If you are the founder featured on Shark Tank India DM me, and I will add you to the exclusive group in The Ecosystem Community :-)

Wouldn’t it make more sense to cool individual human bodies rather than use exorbitant amounts of energy to cool entire buildings? Is that even possible?
This question has driven our work as we face one of the harsh realities of climate change—heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense.
Outdoor workers—street vendors, bikers, agricultural laborers—are increasingly vulnerable to heat-related illnesses like dehydration, exhaustion, and heat strokes.
------‐----------------
In India alone, around 75% of the workforce works under extreme heat. The problem is massive, and we knew we had to step up.
We are working relentlessly to create a solution that can help keep outdoor workers safe and comfortable, even in extreme temperatures.[ and will do it ].
------‐----------------
Coming from a small village in Assam, this journey has been nothing short of a dream.
🎯 And tonight, we will be featured on Shark Tank India!

This is a common story for every young or college-going entrepreneur 🙃
It's not the only story of Khushi who is running a gifting business Pretty Little Shopp or Dyumna Madan running Project Clay but of every young entrepreneur including me :-)
In Shark Tank India Episode 10, we saw 3 young college or school-going entrepreneurs pitching their businesses, there would have been more young founders who might have applied
But the best ones always seek Advice, Guidance and a Path that can be paved along
It was the first time in 10 episodes that I finally agreed with Anupam when he explained the reason for not giving money and saying "NO"
Often these college entrepreneurs get driven when once they start seeing money or fame and they lose the temperament of controlling things along
I was the same when I started my journey in 2017 I faced "NO" in 2018 and then 2019 but I realised in 2021 and 2022 why that "NO" was important (Though no one explained to me the reason for saying "NO" I understood with time)
Today I see myself come too far, I might not have built a 100 Crore business yet, but understanding your true potential is always important and sticking to something is even more important
And the same thing I say to all the folks who have been a part of the Dhandho Fellowship that don't run after funding and I make it clear that if you need guidance I am there, but if you need money then this is not for you
The maturity is yet to be discovered by all the young or college-going entrepreneurs 😃
