Be Your Own Boss
A structured coaching program for students, working professionals and homemakers who want to choose entrepreneurship as a career — and start right instead of starting fast.
A mentor in your corner, every month
Founder's Friend — 1-on-1 Mentoring
Private, ongoing mentoring for early-stage founders (3 months to 5 years in) who need a sounding board for strategy, sales, hiring and the hard decisions.
Running a startup is lonely. Founder's Friend gives you a regular 1-on-1 slot with Dr. Vikrant to work on whatever is blocking growth right now — pricing, a stuck sales pipeline, a co-founder conflict, a fundraise, or simply your own discipline.
What a typical month looks like
A focused strategy session, a written action plan, and WhatsApp access between sessions for quick decisions. Progress is tracked against the goals you set together in the first call.
What's included
- Monthly 1-on-1 strategy sessions
- Written action plan after every session
- WhatsApp access between sessions
- Review of pitch decks, pricing and sales scripts
- Introductions to mentors and investors in the community
What you walk away with
Systems in the business from day one
Sharper pricing and higher-value clients
Clear priorities every month
A founder who is accountable to someone
I came in with a business idea and a resignation letter ready. I left with a validated offer, my first five customers — and I kept my job for six more months, which was the right call.
The biggest change was moving from hourly billing to packages. Our average deal size more than doubled in a quarter.
Having someone who has failed and bounced back in your corner is different. He doesn't let you hide from the hard decisions.
