A three-month residency for entrepreneurs who want to build — and co-own — businesses in rural India. Not incubation that ends in advice: venture-building that begins inside a live rural market. Not a programme you attend. A company you start.
Full-time entrepreneurial runway inside RSVS, funded to remove the cost of trying.
Identify, build and launch a single high-potential rural opportunity — not a portfolio of pitches.
Where there is strategic fit, RSVS invests and builds alongside you as co-promoter.
Demand you can test in weeks, not quarters.
Farmer collectives, FPOs, SHGs and public institutions already in place.
Operators who have built companies, working with you on the build.
Patient, blended, debt and equity — introduced, not promised.
Finance, legal, compliance, HR, technology and communications.
Ground presence across the largest rural footprint in India.
Passionate pursuit of enterprise. The size of the opportunity. And, critically, skin in the game.
We are not selecting for a CV. We are selecting for the willingness to carry risk on an opportunity you believe in — and the capacity to build the organisation that carries it.
Tested against real rural demand, not a deck.
Incorporated, staffed and running on the spine.
A first buyer, aggregator or institutional partner.
Pilots converted into repeatable transactions.
Unit economics that stand up to external capital.
Capital, governance and a co-builder that stays.
From incubating enterprises to creating entrepreneurs. From ventures to rural prosperity.
