Masters' Union has launched the Bharat Innovators Scholarship to support startup founders from India's villages and smaller towns.

This initiative offers full tuition waivers (INR 30-40 lakh) to up to five entrepreneurs annually, with a total outlay of INR 2-2.5 crore, making it a significant educational entrepreneurship scholarship.

Sanjay Modi, founder of NearBook and a Shark Tank India winner, is the first recipient.

The scholarship provides crucial financial, institutional, and mentorship backing, addressing the lack of structured support for non-metropolitan entrepreneurs.  Eligible Indian nationals (20-30 years old) with a startup or MVP can apply.

Recipients gain access to Masters' Union's Venture Initiation Programme (VIP), which has incubated over XXX ventures and helped raise INR XX crore in funding.  This scholarship aims to empower young visionaries from India's heartlands, fostering the next generation of innovators.
