6. Why? How?
Let’s know you better
Send us your CV, your area of interest, and time
commitment that you are willing to give. Be realistic with
your estimates :)
Understand us
We will assign you to talk to one of our students for an
hour so that you can understand more about us.
Project Manager & Buddies
We will then introduce you to your Project Manager and
Project buddies. Project Manager will onboard you and
will be your one point contact. Most of our flows are
automated and hence you won’t need the Project
Manager, but he/she would be happy to help you.
