The Program

Finance as it's actually practiced.

Dealcroft is not a course. There are no pre-recorded videos, no lectures, no PDFs telling you what a balance sheet is. You already know that.

The Private Markets Deal Execution Program is a structured 3-month placement where you work alongside an active deal team — sourcing pre-IPO opportunities, building investor decks, screening SME companies, and learning how private capital actually moves in India.

You'll be doing the same work as a junior analyst at a boutique PE/IB house — with real feedback, real stakes, and a real network behind you.

Seats are limited to 35. Selection is based on a short application and aptitude test. We're looking for people who are sharp, hungry, and ready to put in the time.

FAQ

The questions everyone's actually asking.

Is this a course or a real internship?

+
It's a structured internship. You have real deliverables, real deadlines, and real feedback from a practitioner. There's no recorded lecture content — you learn by doing assigned work on live material.

Do I need prior finance experience?

+
You should have a working knowledge of financial statements and basic valuation concepts. We're not starting from scratch. If you're in your second or third year of a finance degree, or have a year of work experience, you're ready.

How many hours per week does this require?

+
Realistically 8–12 hours a week. Some weeks more when deliverables are due, some weeks lighter. This is designed to be manageable alongside college or a day job, but it's not passive.

Will I get a letter of recommendation or certificate?

+
Yes. Candidates who complete the program receive a certificate from Dealcroft. Top performers may receive a letter of recommendation from the cohort lead. We don't hand these out automatically — they're earned.

What if I'm not selected?

+
We'll let you know within a week of your application. No payment is collected from unselected applicants. We plan to run future cohorts — you can re-apply.

Is this remote? Can I be based anywhere in India?

+
Entirely remote. You can be based anywhere. All coordination happens over Telegram/WhatsApp and email. No physical attendance required.
