Once your application is accepted, you will receive a business problem as part of the endorsement process. The problem will test your ability to research markets, competitors and users. It will also test your ability to solve problems through structured thinking.
Through the first two weeks, you will work on your own time to solve the business problem and support will be available if you need any help. This will involve documenting your progress and preparing business documents you will use for your jury presentations.
You will present and defend your work in front of a panel of two senior business leaders.
You are judged on the depth of research, problem solving, critical thinking ability, data-driven decision making and communication skills.
The jury then gives a go-ahead for their endorsement if the candidate clears the internal benchmark score.
The results of the Endorsement process are declared within 4 working days of the jury review.
If the experts decide to endorse you, you will need to furnish 2 external letters of recommendation from your college faculty, senior colleagues, mentors or managers in order to receive your Endorsed certificate.
We charge a $200 (₹16,650) fee in order to coordinate the endorsement process and compensate the experts for their time.
However, we have currently waived off the fees for November 2023 in order to make it accessible for young professionals to get Endorsed.
Being Endorsed by industry experts helps you stand out from your peers. You earn a letter of recommendation from the industry leaders which validates the skills you possess through an unbiased process.
The Endorsement also gets you access to our career assistance program. We help you build clarity around roles to pursue, make introductions to hiring partners and assist you with the interview process.
You also get an opportunity to engage with other professionals who have impressed industry experts. This will enable you to increase your ‘luck surface area’ and land referrals to opportunities.
Endorsement process is run over a 2-4 week window and you will be tested on role-specific superpowers that separate the great professionals from average ones.
Endorsement process for each role is designed in collaboration with hiring managers and focusses on skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication skills and data-driven decision making.
Check role-specific Endorsement pages to learn more about each role.
Once you get Endorsed, we set up a discovery call to understand your professional goals.
We use this information to help you build clarity around roles you ought to pursue. We then collaborate with you to identify opportunities where you’d be a good fit.
Thanks to our jury members and industry goodwill, we have a network of 100+ companies in the startup ecosystem as well at established Indian corporates and MNCs. We strive to do our best to open doors for you in these companies.
As you go through interview process, we help you prepare better and negotiate harder. Throughout this stressful process, we act as your sounding board.
