Gurugram, India, Indian Startup School (ISS), India’s Number 1 and fastest-growing founder-first learning and incubation institution, has announced the latest list of Top 25 founders selected for its flagship startup bootcamp at Two Horizon Centre, right opposite to DLF Camellias, Gurugram.
Following an intensely competitive selection process that saw over 3,450 applications from across India in the month of March, only 25 founders were chosen—representing an acceptance rate of just 0.72%, making the cohort among the most selective entrepreneurial programs in the country.
The selection process at ISS evaluated applicants across multiple high-intensity parameters including strength of the core idea and market opportunity, founder-market fit and execution capability, scalability and innovation quotient, and clarity of business model and long-term vision.
The latest selection represents founders from 15+ cities across India, spanning 12+ high-growth sectors including DeepTech AI, HealthTech, FMCG, Agri-Exports, QSR, and Sustainability. The group also reflects a diverse mix from fourth-generation business leaders to Gen-Z digital-native builders.
Indian Startup School is a new-age ecosystem to educate, incubate, and invest in founders at scale. With a focus on practical, operator-led learning, ISS has already worked with leading founders and incubated multiple early-stage startups through its intensive, outcome-driven programs.
The bootcamp is hosted at its state of the art campus managed by WeWork India in Two Horizon Centre, Gurugram, placing founders in one of India’s most premium business ecosystems, surrounded by global corporates, VCs, and startup leaders.
ISS’s faculty includes successful founders, angel investors, venture capitalists, and industry operators, ensuring participants learn directly from those actively building and scaling companies.
Reflecting the growing demand and proven outcomes, the program fee has increased from ₹70,000 to ₹1,50,000 within the last 6 months, reinforcing its positioning as a premium, high-impact founder experience.
The selected founders will undergo a rigorous, hands-on bootcamp at the ISS campus, designed to sharpen product-market fit, build scalable business models, develop investor-ready narratives and enable direct access to capital and mentorship
Founders will work closely with other funded founders, angel investors, venture capitalists, and industry leaders, gaining real-world insights and execution frameworks.
