Equity is yours
No 7–10% cut for “access.” Your company stays yours from day one to Demo Day.
Innovation
Your idea is enough. We build the rest.
TSIH is a 30-day Gandhinagar residency for idea-stage founders — developers, mentors, workspace & stay included. Apply free; royalty only after you earn.
TSIH is a 30-day residential program to foster idea to MVP. All support is provided — highly intellectual mentors, developers, workspace, and more.
We don't invest in your shares. We invest in your first product.
“India does not lack founders. It lacks a fair first step. Too many brilliant ideas die because building costs money, accelerators take ownership, and “come back when you have an MVP” becomes a closed door. TSIH opens that door — with builders, mentors, workspace, and a royalty model that only starts after you earn.”
Our Belief
Three promises we make to every founder
Not slogans — the operating principles behind Cohort 1.
Builders build with you
Dedicated developers, mentors, and residency infrastructure — not slide decks and pep talks alone.
Pay only when you earn
5% royalty after revenue, capped at ₹8L — then 0%. No revenue means no payment.
The wall founders hit
- ✕Developers cost ₹1–3 lakhs/month – too expensive for pre-revenue founders.
- ✕Accelerators take 7–10% equity (YC, Antler) or charge ₹10–50k in fees.
- ✕Most programs expect you to have a product already – a chicken-and-egg trap.
How TSIH breaks it
- Developers, mentors & resources upfront — you focus on the idea
- 5% royalty only after revenue — capped at ₹8L, then free forever
- 30-day residency in Gujarat — workspace, stay & sprint rhythm included
- No equity. No hidden fees. No “come back with an MVP.”

Founder
Meet the founder behind TSIH
The founder who built TSIH so India's first step could finally be fair — zero equity, real builders, real product.
Harshil Parikh
Founder & Program Lead
Productica
Built so Indian founders never have to sell the dream to start it
Harshil watched too many idea-stage founders hit the same wall — a powerful concept, no developers, no capital, and programs that demanded equity before the first line of code. He built TSIH so the first step in India could finally be fair: ship a real product in 30 days, keep 100% ownership, and pay only when revenue begins.
Harshil leads TSIH and Productica, helping early teams turn concepts into shippable products. His obsession is founder-first design — dedicated builders, mentors, and residency infrastructure — with a royalty model that rewards traction, not paperwork.
- Founder, Productica — product studio for early-stage startups
- Architect of TSIH's zero-equity, royalty-capped residency model
- Leading Cohort 1 — 10 Dec 2026 – 11 Jan 2027, Gandhinagar · Gujarat
