About Credit Plus
We help Indian founders get the cloud credits they're entitled to — and we do it for free, on purpose. Here's the honest reason why.
Why we built this
I'm Aseem Singhal, co-founder of NorthBridge Minds. We run an MBA program with a partner university, and we've come to believe our students learn more from real startups than from any textbook or case study.
Helping founders get AWS and Google Cloud credits is how we meet those startups. It's a genuinely useful thing we can do — the programs exist, the credits are real, and most founders simply don't have time to navigate the tiers, Org IDs and rejection rules. So we handle that part. You pay nothing, ever.
What we hope for — all optional
If we've been useful and it suits you later, there are three things we'd love. Every one of them is optional, and none of them is a condition of getting your credits:
- Take one of our students as an intern
- Hand a student team a real problem to work on
- Spend an hour speaking to our cohort
That's the whole model. We meet great founders, our students get real-world exposure, and you get credits that would otherwise take hours of paperwork to unlock. If you never take us up on any of it, nothing changes.
Who this is for
We focus on early-stage Indian startups — DPIIT-recognised teams, startups already spending on cloud, and funded companies from seed to Series B. If that's you, check your eligibility or apply directly. Want to understand the process first? See how it works.
