This batch is NOT for you if

Be honest with yourself. Save your ₹30,000.

  • You want a passive income MRR machine. This is consulting, not SaaS.
  • You expect us to find clients for you. We teach you to find them — that is the whole point.
  • You can't commit 5–7 hours a week for 12 weeks. The capstone defence is real.
  • You want a quick certificate for LinkedIn without doing the work.
  • You're chasing a quick-money niche (crypto, dropshipping, "AI agencies"). We won't help.
  • You haven't read either brochure yet. Read them first — they teach 80% of what we cover.
  • Your family is not onboard. We mean it. Have that conversation first.

If any of these are you, we will refund you within 14 days of joining, no questions asked. Captain would rather you spend the money on something that actually helps.

FAQ

Who is this for?

Indian professionals serious about leaving a salaried job (or formalising a side hustle) within 6–12 months. Not for tourists — capstone defence is real.

How is this different from other courses?

Small batch (20–25 max). Captain personally on every session and on capstone. India-specific (GST, Udyam, MSMED Act, B2B payment cycles), not US-funnel cargo-cult. Certificate issued in Professional, Business and Management Consultancy under the MEPSC framework.

What's the time commitment?

~5–7 hours/week. Two 90-minute live sessions, plus weekly application work.

What happens if I don't finish?

You can defer once to the next batch, no charge. Beyond that, no refund — but the refund policy above (no signed proposal or verbal commitment by Day 90) still applies.

What is the MEPSC certificate?

The Management & Entrepreneurship and Professional Skills Council (MEPSC) is one of India's Sector Skill Councils set up under the National Skill Development Corporation. On capstone, you receive a Certificate in Professional, Business and Management Consultancy, issued under the MEPSC framework. The certificate carries Captain's countersignature and is recognised by Indian employers and professional networks as a skill credential — useful to cite in proposals and on LinkedIn.

Can I get an EMI?

Yes — UPI-based 3-month split (₹10,200/month) or 6-month split via Razorpay (small issuer charge). Ask us on WhatsApp.
