VERTEX Bharat runs for eight weeks across eight cities. VERTEX Foundry is a short format and the lowest commitment of the three. Dates for every programme, including the flagship PGP, are announced when each intake opens.

Can Foundry or Bharat lead to the PGP?

Yes. Strong performers in the shorter formats get fast-tracked toward the flagship PGP, so starting small is a genuine path in, not a consolation prize. Foundry participants who perform get priority consideration for the PGP.

When can I apply?

Not yet. Each programme announces its dates when its intake opens. Join the launch list and you will hear before anyone else does.

Join the launch list

In ten years, the people running India’s best companies will not come from where you expect. They will come from VERTEX.

Some of them will have founded those companies. Most will be the ones those companies could not function without. The founding cohort will be small, and the list gets first access. Put your name down before the rest of the country finds out.
