Founding Institution Programme

Five institutions. Three-year locked pricing. First access to every company that has already committed.

Companies have already committed internships, hackathons and guest lecture sessions — before a single institution was onboarded. Your students get first access to all of it.

  • Founding pricing, locked 3 years
  • 90-day implementation
  • Exit available after Year 1

What is already waiting

The demand is committed before you onboard a single student.

Most platforms ask an institution to take it on faith that opportunities will appear. Udgam does not. Companies across four sectors have signed commitments that activate the day the platform opens — and Founding Institutions get first call on all of them.
The usual experience

You onboard faculty and students, and then wait. Six months later the opportunity feed is thin, students stop opening the app, and the institution quietly concludes the platform doesn’t work.

What you get here

A live opportunity feed from day one, because the commitments were secured first. We will bring the named list to the first meeting, filtered to your streams and your city, before we ask you for anything.

The founding offer

What a Founding Institution gets that no later institution can.

Pricing locked for three years

Founding rate, materially below the standard entry price and fixed for the full three-year term regardless of what happens to list pricing. We confirm the figure on the first call.

Co-design access

Your IQAC coordinator and TPO sit in the product review cycle. What Udgam builds in the first two years is shaped by the five founding institutions.

Priority corporate access

Your students see every signed partner’s opportunities before any other institution’s students do. That is the whole point of being early.

90-day framework setup

Udgam builds your CO framework across the pilot programme within 90 days, with a dedicated implementation lead. Not a support ticket queue.

National launch visibility

Named as a Founding Institution Partner in the national launch press release and across platform communications.

An exit clause that is actually usable

Either party can exit with 90 days’ notice after Year 1. Full data export at any time, available for two years after cancellation.

How it starts

From first conversation to live platform.

  1. A conversation with your dean and TPO

    We bring the named list of companies that have committed, filtered to your streams and your city. You tell us where your placement numbers actually hurt.
  2. Baseline and pilot scope

    We agree the pilot department and establish the locked baseline from three years of your placement records.
  3. MoU signed

    A three-year term with a Year 1 exit clause. No payment until the pilot converts.
  4. 90-day implementation

    CO frameworks built, faculty onboarded, ERP connected, students imported. Your IQAC has a working accreditation console at the end of it.
  5. Q1 2027 — platform live

    Every signed partner's opportunities open to your students first.
Two leading autonomous engineering colleges. One leading MBA institution. One state university with affiliated colleges. One tier-2 city institution — because this cannot be a metro-only platform.
The founding cohort
  • Placements

    Not more drives. Better matches. Lasting placements.

  • Talent Access

    India's verified talent — from Nagpur, Coimbatore, Guwahati, not just IITs.

  • Viksit Bharat

    Every student placed is one more proof that $30 trillion is possible.
