An initiative to support founders building their own companies, based in Hyderabad.
We run live-in programs, invest in companies we believe in, and connect founders with operators, customers and investors who can help.
It began with one house and twelve founders in July 2026. They lived, worked and built together for 90 days. Assembly is the next chapter: 70 days for founders and co-founders to focus on their company.

The Residency record


Each founder was building their own company.
Under one roof, every hard problem had eleven other minds within earshot.
Meet the foundersEach week, the founders stood before the house and showed what had changed.
Between demos, guests from Hyderabad’s startup community came for sessions, meetups and long dinners.






On 19 September 2026, the Residency closed with The Grand Demo Day.
At T-Works, Hyderabad, the founders presented their companies to investors, operators and the city’s startup community.
