Perhaps this is something on a positive note. Even the website is done well and looks modern. Somebody out there is thinking. Thumbs up to everyone who gets in (and I hope I do too).
You have to click the Edit button to put the profile in Edit mode. The first thing I wanted to change was my gender showing as Female. Saving Didn't work, until I clicked Edit.
Having started the video I was getting a big smile until I realised it was in India :-( Nice initiative nevertheless, just with it was in Eastern Europe.
I cant believe this has only 18 upvotes when the Meetup Delhi and Bangalore items have a lot more. I would never have known about this program if it was not posted on HN. Thanks Brajeshwar. And I will be posting comments on the other 2 topics to upvote this.
Timeline says you can submit your application from 5-apr-2013 to 30-apr-2013. I dont think they have an expectation of a working prototype from what I've read on the various pages. Independently, I met an angel investment group head, and their expectation was just a business idea. So I think the expectation for Indian startups is a lot lower, at least in this 1st batch.
in the form, they ask you specifically at what stage the startup is at, so it seems they would be looking at all startup submissions... Though of course, if you have a prototype it would not hurt... :)
Are they importing mentors, angel investors, and a support system to India? How can you teach "how to fail" somewhere where failure is very much taboo?

Curious to know more about your survey programming compiler...Did you manage to sell any licenses?
It keeps on prompting to provide "my new password and confirm password" when trying to update the profile.
I am not able to change my profile yet.
