Before you apply
Good to know
Who can apply?
Anyone seriously building something they can run remotely: an agency, a SaaS product, a creator business, freelance work for international clients, or a role in a remote company.
How does selection work?
A short application, then a call. We're keeping Version 1 to 15 to 20 people, so we pick a room where everyone can help everyone.
What's included, and what does it cost?
₹39,000 per person (about US$415). That is for 6 days and 5 nights, 16 to 21 November 2026. That covers your stay in a shared room, all meals, the workspace, fitness, every session and the pickup from Guwahati. The only thing not included is your flight or train to Guwahati. Prefer a room to yourself? A limited number of private rooms are available on request, so just mention it on your call. Applying is free.
Can I keep working during the six days?
Yes. Deep work blocks are protected every day, and no session is allowed to run into them.
Where is it, and how do I get there?
The Greenwood, Tezpur, in Assam, about 175 km from Guwahati. You just need to reach Guwahati, by flight or train, and we pick you up from there and drop you back at the end.
Would you fly to Assam for this?
It starts with six short questions. About two minutes.
