Common questions about the challenge
Yes! The challenge is open to students, professionals, and entrepreneurs across India. We welcome participants from all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether you're a college student with a fresh idea or a professional with industry experience, we encourage you to apply.
The nominal registration fee of ₹69 helps us ensure serious applicants and cover administrative costs. This allows us to dedicate more resources to mentoring and supporting the selected startups throughout the challenge.
No, you don't need a full pitch deck for the initial application. A 2-5 slide presentation or a short description of your idea is sufficient. If you're shortlisted, we'll help you develop a complete pitch deck during the bootcamp. The focus at this stage is on the core idea and problem-solution fit.
The final pitch will be conducted online, allowing participants from across India to present their ideas to our panel of judges without the need for travel. We'll provide all the technical support needed for a smooth online presentation experience.
After the co-build phase, you'll have a functional MVP ready for launch. We'll continue to provide support through our network of mentors and advisors. Additionally, we'll help connect you with potential investors and provide guidance on scaling your startup. Our goal is to set you up for long-term success.
Don't let your startup idea remain just an idea. Join the challenge and turn it into reality with Melonkode.
