verveschool 2.0

Written By Ayush Duggal

we made a big decision earlier this year.

we made our flagship program at verveschool completely free. not because it wasn't working. it was working beautifully. grads once paid 20k, 72k, even 96k to join. i'm grateful to them. their belief built what this has become.

but every time i saw hesitation in someone's eyes because of the price, i realized something. we were solving the wrong problem.

we built verveschool to find overlooked talent. recent grads who can speak well and have something to prove. mostly to themselves. but by charging, we were filtering out exactly those people.

the ones with the most to prove often have the least ability to pay upfront. they're the ones who will work hardest because the stakes are real. yet our model made them wait, save, hesitate.

so we rebuilt everything around a simple insight: the most overlooked talent is often the most underserved.

verveschool 2.0 is a zero-cost sales career accelerator. companies sponsor the training. they pay us when they hire you. you pay nothing.

what you get: sales training, interview prep, direct access to top startups, lifelong mentorship. average placement is ₹6 lpa in two weeks of joining.

in the last two years we've helped around 150 grads land sales and bd roles at some of india's most impactful b2c startups. we run small cohorts of 5-6 people. highly selective. pure merit, full accountability, no spectators.

the model works because everyone wins at the same time. companies get trained talent. grads get real opportunity without risk. we only win when they win.

even those we don't select get our proven interview prep kit and cv template. both have helped grads land breakthrough roles. no fee, no gatekeeper.

this feels right. not just as a business model, but as the thing we should have been doing from the start.

Ayush Duggal is the kind of founder who looked at India’s graduate unemployment problem and thought, “What if the real issue isn’t jobs or skills, but the complete lack of believable salespeople?” So he built VerveSchool. A place where the overlooked learn the overlooked skill. Sales. Not the sleazy kind. The kind that actually works. The kind where someone trusts you enough to say yes without hating themselves afterwards.

He teaches people how to sell like they mean it. Not because a script told them to. But because they’ve actually understood what it means to solve a problem for someone who’s barely listening. It’s more psychology than pipeline. More theatre than theory. More “shut up and listen” than “always be closing.”

VerveSchool runs on a Pay After Placement model. Which, let’s be honest, is probably how all education should work. You pay when it works. Not before. Radical, apparently. But only if you're still pretending the current system makes sense.

Ayush is allergic to mediocrity and buzzwords. He prefers late-night coaching calls to keynote speeches. He’d rather get one ambitious underdog to a 7 LPA role than impress a room full of VCs who’ve never had to sell a ₹15,000 course to a broke 24-year-old with a BA pass degree.

He’s read more Osho than MBA textbooks and thinks most “career advice” would make more sense if it came with a warning label. He doesn’t do fake humility. Or fake urgency. Just real people, real growth, and real results.
