Office Hours is a platform that enables us to use our extended networks to support a larger set of startups who otherwise lack access to quality experts. We have advised/mentored 200+ early stage startups across domains such as digital lending, personal finance, payments, agrifin, savings, insurance and others through this initiative, on a variety of aspects including business model design, pilot planning, legal compliance, finance, distribution strategy and others.

Office Hours include hourly mentoring sessions with subject matter experts on specific challenge areas of the startup. While requests often exceed the available bandwidth of the mentors, we will endeavour to make our experts and insights available to all startups that are building for Bharat. If you are a startup working in the fintech, financial inclusion, skilling, livelihood, agri and insurtech space, and are looking for some guidance/advice, you can apply for an Office Hours session.
