Re:Founder of an Indian Product Startup? Apply to PNgrowth on Thursday November 12, 2015 @11:03PM (#10557948)
iSPIRT's PNgrowth program helps the most promising Indian startups win. We provide amazing mentors, an awesome network of other founders, time with successful entrepreneurs, and training from professors at Stanford GSB and Duke's Fuqua School of Business. The whole program is data driven and designed to help your startup become a category winner.

Learn more and apply (deadline is Nov. 15th) at www.pngrowth.com, let us know if you have any questions. A recent Econmic Times article provides a nice overview of our goals:

Few Indian startups can claim to be global category leaders. There's an Uber for Ola, an Amazon for Flipkart and a Xiaomi for Micromax.

To change this, software product think tank iSPIRT has come up with a one-of-a-kind course. Researchers from Stanford University and Duke University will take founders of hypergrowth companies through a programme, helping them to plan ahead and implement the learnings in their organisations.

Check out http://extreme.stanford.edu/ for some amazing examples developed at Stanford. I really like the story behind a recent YC graduate, Noora Health (http://www.noorahealth.org/).
