01 — The circle

Until now.

A weekly circle for people actually building — any field, no exceptions. Every week, a real founder sits with the circle. Straight talk, no filler. No agenda, no sales pitch. Just people who've done it, and people doing it.

  • Weekly
  • Unbiased
  • Online + IRL
  • Free to join

02 — The builders

Everywhere you look, someone's building.

Painters, cricketers, coders, cooks. Bharat's builders are already at it — most of them, alone.

04 — How it works

No forms.
Just proof.

From your first DM to a seat in the circle.

01

Show your work

DM us on Instagram with what you're building. Links, reels, photos, a repo — proof beats pitch.

02

Get screened

A short conversation with us. The bar is high on purpose — we want people who make things, not people who talk about making things.

03

Join the weekly circle

Every week, an expert sits with the circle. Growth, craft, money, failure — an open, unbiased conversation.

04

Pick your mentor

Choose who you want to learn from and join their cohort. Every mentor runs it their own way.

05

Meet IRL

Mentorship online, meetups in real spaces. Pune first — then wherever the builders are.

06

Earn the keys

Standout members help shape the circle — and may end up running it.

05 — Mentors

Round one:
five founders.

Every week, a real founder sits with the circle. Straight talk, no filler. You pick your mentor, join their cohort — they set the format.

06 — The rules

How we keep it real.

01

Your work is the application.

No open sign-up. No résumés. Show us what you've made — that's the whole form.

02

Unbiased. Always.

No one steering the conversation. No paid shout-outs. Honest talk from people who've been there.

03

Free. Not easy.

Joining costs ₹0. Getting in costs effort — every member is screened, and the bar stays high.

04

Any field. No exceptions.

A dancer and a developer in the same room is the point. Builders learn from builders.

05

Gen Z-run. Builder-owned.

Independent from day one. The best members get a real hand in running it.

08 — Why this exists

I kept meeting builders working alone.

Everywhere I look there are people my age making things — songs, startups, paintings, cricket careers. And almost all of them are figuring it out alone. No room of people at their level. No one a few steps ahead to ask.

That room didn't exist, so I'm building it: a stage where young builders find their people and their path. Free, unbiased, and strict about one thing — you have to actually be building.

If that's you, show me what you're making.
