What is FounderKendra Sangam?
FounderKendra Sangam is an authenticated founder network and AI workspace for Indian startup founders. It combines an active peer stream (Sangam Pulse), verified GST/MCA credentials, day-one startup perks, and Sarvam AI voice-to-document legal tools.
How does Sangam verify founder credentials like GSTIN and DPIIT?
A founder submits their 15-character GSTIN, their Corporate Identification Number (CIN), or their DPIIT recognition number from their profile settings. Our compliance desk checks the number against the submitted registration before the matching badge appears on their card. The raw registration string is kept server-side and is never shown publicly — only the badge is.
Is Sangam free to join?
Yes. Sangam has a permanent ₹0 Explorer tier. It includes the directory preview, the Sangam Pulse feed, the interactive Government Grant Radar, and 3 Sarvam AI document generations per month. No card is required to start.
Is Sangam Verified included with the FounderKendra Virtual Office?
Yes. Every founder who takes the ₹11,000 / 11-month Virtual Office pack automatically receives Sangam HQ All-Access at no extra cost — full messaging, the Perks Vault, the HQ Member badge, and offline meeting-room credits at Tower C, Golden I, Greater Noida.
What AI tools are included in FounderKendra Sangam?
Sangam uses Sarvam AI to provide voice-to-post composing in Hindi, Hinglish and English, automated vendor NDA and co-founder MOU drafting, and a simplifier that turns dense GST or MCA notices into plain-language action items. Explorer includes 3 queries a month; Verified and HQ All-Access are unlimited.
Start either way
The Explorer tier is free and does not expire — you can read the stream, run the grant radar and generate three documents a month before you decide anything. If you need the registered address rather than the community, the ₹11,000 / 11-month Virtual Office pack includes Sangam HQ All-Access free.
FounderKendra is an independent private platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or part of DPIIT, Startup India or any government ministry, and a verified badge confirms an entity and registration number match — it is not a financial assessment of a business.
