The Arthadok Commitment · Quarterly funding program

Funding founders.
Supporting future leaders.

Arthadok operates a quarterly funding program exclusively for registered members. The program exists to support individuals who want to build businesses, create solutions, improve systems, and contribute meaningfully to society.

Every quarter, Arthadok reviews applications from members and provides funding through one of two tracks — the Founder Track (equity investment) or the Leader Track (fellowship). Selected applicants receive funding ranging from ₹1 lakh to ₹3 lakh, subject to evaluation and selection.

This is a recurring program and forms a permanent part of the Arthadok ecosystem.

Background

Why we run this program

Arthadok serves students pursuing CA, CMA, and CS qualifications. Many members develop strong analytical, financial, regulatory, and problem-solving capabilities during their professional education. Some choose to build businesses. Others choose to improve institutions, public systems, governance frameworks, or industry practices.

The Arthadok Commitment exists to support both paths. We believe talent should have access to opportunity, capital, and support when the underlying idea demonstrates merit and execution potential.

Two tracks

Choose the track that reflects what you intend to build.

Each track has its own evaluation rubric, its own funding instrument, and its own onboarding documentation. You may apply to only one track per cycle.

Founder Track · Equity Investment

For members building or scaling a business.

Applicants submit a concise proposal covering the problem, the solution, the business model, the go-to-market approach, and the path to revenue. Shortlisted applicants present to Arthadok before final selection.

Selected founders receive
  • ₹1–3 lakh equity investment
  • Strategic guidance and support
  • Access to Arthadok's network where relevant
  • Funds disbursed within 15 days of cycle closure

Funding under this track is provided as an equity investment. Arthadok becomes a minority stakeholder in selected ventures and participates in their long-term growth.

Leader Track · Fellowship

For members pursuing systemic change.

Applicants submit a concise proposal covering the issue, the proposed reform or initiative, the implementation approach, and the expected impact. Shortlisted applicants may be invited to present before final selection.

Selected fellows receive
  • ₹1–3 lakh fellowship grant
  • No equity requirement
  • No ownership transfer
  • Funds disbursed within 15 days of cycle closure

This track is intended for individuals pursuing meaningful change outside the traditional startup model — policy work, professional reform, public-system improvement, and institutional contribution.
