Made With Ishq Fellowship
Community rules
Last updated 1 November 2026.
The Fellowship's startup community on Discord is where Fellows and founders ask for help, share what they ship and keep each other going. These rules apply to everyone in it, from the day they join.
Who it is for
Fellows of every cohort, and founders the Fellowship invites. Everyone accepts these rules when they join.
How we treat each other
- Be kind and be direct. Criticise the work, not the person.
- No harassment, discrimination or bullying, in channels or in private messages, on any ground, including caste, religion, gender, language or where someone comes from.
- Write in Hindi, English or a mix. Nobody is corrected or looked down on for how they write.
- Share what you are building and ask for help, even when it is unfinished.
What is shared here
What someone shares here stays here, unless they say otherwise.
Do not copy someone's idea, or pass on their work, numbers or screenshots.
Money and offers
- No spam or selling: no cold pitches, paid courses, referral links or crypto schemes.
- Jobs and paid offers go only in the channel for them.
- Before asking anyone for money, equity or unpaid work, say so plainly and in the open.
- Saying no to an offer never affects anyone's place here.
An offer from a member is not an offer from the Fellowship, and the Fellowship does not vouch for it.
What we build
Nothing shared or built here may be illegal, harmful or meant to deceive people.
Moderators
Moderators are builders from this community, chosen from among themselves by an open vote of its members. They serve for one cohort at a time, and can be chosen again.
A moderator takes no part in a case that involves them.
If something goes wrong
Tell a moderator. Write to us instead if it is about a moderator, or if you would rather not raise it in the community.
A first minor slip gets a word. Anything serious, or repeated, means removal from the community.
A Fellow's tool seat is covered by the Fellowship's terms, not by moderators.

Read the Fellowship's termsYour place here
Your place in the community is forever. It ends only if you leave, if you are removed under these rules, or if the community itself closes.
You can leave at any time. What you posted stays until you delete it, so delete anything you do not want left behind before you go.
Discord has its own terms, and you agree to follow them too.
