ImpactMojo Build Circles

Four weeks. One real M&E problem.
A working AI workflow you demo.

Small circles of 6–10 builders, matched by experience. No lectures, no fixed curriculum — a weekly 60-minute sync, a WhatsApp group for nudges and unblocking, and a Demo Day where your build speaks for itself.

The four-week rhythm

Your circle starts when a group fills — cohorts are rolling, typically evenings IST, with the exact schedule agreed on WhatsApp. Between syncs, you build. “Real enough to demo” beats polished.

Facilitated by Dr. Varna Sri Raman & Vandana Soni, ImpactMojo founders. They match circles by experience, keep the weekly syncs sharp, and unblock builders — they don't lecture.

How the deposit works

The deposit is the heart of Build Circles: skin in the game, returned in full the moment you show up and demo. You pay nothing to join the waitlist.

  1. Join the waitlist — free. No payment at signup, ever.
  2. We schedule your circle. When enough builders at your level are ready, we confirm dates with you on WhatsApp. Only then do we ask for a ₹1,000 seat deposit via UPI using the QR here, with the payment note “ImpactMojo Build Circle Deposit”.
  3. Build for four weeks. Weekly sync, WhatsApp nudges, peer testing.
  4. Demo on Demo Day — the full ₹1,000 comes back to you, plus a verified ImpactMojo certificate. A rough-but-real demo counts. No demo, no refund.

Pay only AFTER your circle is scheduled — not at signup.

Pick a real problem

Every builder works on one real problem: bring your own from work, or pick one of the 15 ImpactMojo Live Case Challenges:

Your stack, your call

Choose your own tools

  • No-code: n8n, Make
  • AI assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini
  • Data: Open Government Data India, your own programme data
  • Channels: WhatsApp, forms, email

ImpactMojo's free tools — the Advisory Board preview, labs, and MOJINI — are available throughout.

Who it's for

M&E professionals, MEAL teams, NGO programme staff, consultants, researchers, and students who want a working AI workflow — not another certificate of attendance.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to code?
No. Most builders use no-code tools (n8n, Make) and AI assistants. You choose your own stack, and your circle helps you when you're stuck.
What if I can't finish my build?
The deposit refund requires a demo on Demo Day — but a rough demo counts. "Real enough to demo" beats polished. If you show what you built and what you learned, you get the full ₹1,000 back.
How big is a circle?
6–10 builders, matched by experience so nobody is the odd one out. Small enough that everyone demos and everyone gets unblocked.
How much time does it take?
Roughly 4–6 hours a week: one 60-minute sync plus your own build time. Syncs are typically weekday evenings IST; the exact schedule is agreed on WhatsApp.
What happens to what I build?
It's yours. We showcase builds on ImpactMojo only with your permission.
Can my team join together?
Yes — teams are welcome, with one deposit per person. Each person demos (or shares the team demo) to get their deposit back.
Is the content free?
Yes. There is no course fee — you pay only the refundable ₹1,000 seat deposit, and only after your circle is scheduled. Demo and it all comes back.

Join the waitlist

Free to join. When enough builders at your level are ready, we'll schedule your circle and get in touch on WhatsApp.

Circles run on WhatsApp — scheduling, nudges, and unblocking happen there.
