Synopsis

The D2C Fellowship is not a program you attend. It is a venture you build. In 12 weeks you'll have a live product, live customers, live revenue and a live investor dashboard.

Cohort 01 · 2026
12 weeks

From concept to revenue

Three intensive phases compress a full venture build into 90 days.

₹1L capital

Real operating money

Start with ₹1 Lakh. Real ads, real delivery — you defend CAC, AOV and margin live.

3 immersions

Real-time market exposure

Delhi-NCR, Surat and Jaipur — stand inside the supply chain, don't read about it.

1 brand

Real business shipped

One live D2C brand — launched and scaled by you, yours to keep.

Our intent

A business school that turns ambition into a venture.

01 / Vision

We believe entrepreneurship is learned by doing, never by watching — built under real pressure, where the stakes are real and the feedback is immediate.

02 / Mission

To empower the next generation of founders — mentored by people who run real brands, with India's markets as the classroom, not a textbook.

03 / Positioning

"From the streets of Delhi to ₹1 Cr revenue."

Experiential, industry-connected, outcome-led education that turns entrepreneurial ambition into an actual venture.

Beyond the 12 weeks

Day 90 isn't the finish line.
It's your launchpad.

You walk out owning a live business — and a network built to help you scale it. Here's what continues after the cohort ends.

You Keep the Brand

Your venture, your IP

The business you build is yours to keep running — store, customers, brand and revenue all stay with you after Day 90.

02

Investor Access

Pitch to the panel

Your Week 12 demo puts you in front of seed-stage VCs and operators — the start of real fundraising conversations, not a mock exercise.

03

Founder Network

Mentors for life

Stay plugged into the Amity Executive Education founder community — practitioner mentors, alumni operators and an ongoing support circuit.

FAQ

The fine print, in plain words.

Everything you'd ask before applying. Still curious? Use the enquiry form and our team will reach out.

Is this a course or do I actually build a business?

You build a real business. No lectures, no case studies, no exams — over 12 weeks you take a product from raw material to a live brand with real customers and revenue.

Do I need a product idea before I join?

No. Week 1 (Reverse Engineering) is dedicated to identifying and validating a high-potential product — tearing down competitors and scraping real import and ad-spend data. If you already have an idea, you build on it.

What is the ₹1 Lakh capital for?

It's real operating capital you deploy in Phase 2 — running live Meta ads, acquiring your first customers and managing delivery. You track a live P&L, cash-burn and Contribution Margin 2.

What are the 3 immersions?

On-ground exposure across India's hubs: the Delhi-NCR sourcing & packaging crucible, the Surat industrial cluster, and the Jaipur premium brand hub — one per phase.

How am I evaluated?

By live traction only — store launch velocity, blended ROAS on real capital, inventory health and fulfilment rate, and verified customer revenue. No exams, papers or thesis.

Who can apply?

Anyone with a strong drive to build a D2C brand — students, working professionals or aspiring founders. If you can commit to the build, you can apply.
