Question 3

Accepted Answer

If you meet all three eligibility criteria and are committing your time for the duration of
the program, including the 3-day in-person boot camp in Bengaluru and the virtual
office hours, then you are an ideal candidate for this program.

Question 4

Is this a full-time commitment?

Accepted Answer

inFINity consists of three main components, and to derive maximum benefit for your
start-up, the founders should commit to all three:

1. Preferably all, but at least one, of the co-founders would be required to be
present for the in-person bootcamp in Bengaluru from 6 th March 2025 to 8 th
March 2025.
2. Post the bootcamp, you can leverage one-on-one mentorship with AWS and
PayU teams for personalized advice on your startup’s technology stack, GTM
and pitch deck.
We are committing upto 3 hours of mentorship per startup at PayU.
3. Preferably all, but at least one, of the co-founders would be required to be
present for the in- person demo day in Bengaluru in the last week of May,
2025.

If the co-founders do not have sufficient bandwidth to commit to this schedule, then
we would advise applying for the next cohort of inFINity instead when you might
have better availability. The inFINity team strongly respects and appreciates the
various mentors who are volunteering their time and effort towards this initiative, and
therefore we will be firm in implementing the mentioned attendance guidelines.

would be expected to be present for this. Same for the in- person demo day to be
held in Bengaluru in the last week of May, 2025.
