Shipped, Not Just Studied
Every Fellow ships a UN SDG-aligned live project from ideation to live investor pitch in six weeks - guided by India Accelerator (220+ startups, 70+ exits). They come to you with a prototype, traction data, and pitch-deck experience.
Top 1% Selectivity
15,000+ applications. 50 seats. Three rounds — application, assignment, and live interview with Spark mentors and industry leaders. The ones you meet have already cleared a bar higher than most graduate-school admits.
Trained by the People Who'll Hire Them
Masterclasses from CXOs at Google, Accenture, Publicis Sapient, Incedo, and Harvard/Yale faculty. Fellows arrive fluent in the nuances, frameworks, and operating cadence of the firms recruiting them.
Built for High-Stakes Environments
Beyond the classroom: business labs at unicorn HQs/ MNCs, immersions at Rashtrapati Bhavan and embassies, leadership exposure with the Indian Armed Forces. Fellows have presented to investors, defended strategy under evaluation, and learned to perform under pressure - repeatedly.

Is there a fee to hire from Spark?
No fee for direct hires, internships, or project-based engagements.
What disciplines do Fellows come from?
Engineering, business, economics, design, liberal arts, and the sciences - selected on potential and drive rather than degree.
When can I meet Fellows?
The 2026 cohort completes the program in early August. Hiring partners get early access during the Master Pitch Day in late July and a dedicated Career Growth Day reserved for partner companies.
Can we sponsor a live capstone project?
Yes. Companies can submit a strategic problem to be tackled by a Fellow team during the Startup Sprint, with full IP transfer and a final presentation to your leadership.
Can we recruit from the alumni network?
Yes. Once you partner with one cohort, you get ongoing access to the alumni community — including Fellows from prior years.
