The daylight foundry.
Polaris School of Technology is a 2024 tech park CS/AI school where the default is to ship. E Cell PST is the operating system that turns campus curiosity into viable companies.
Born inside a tech park, not a 100 year quad.
When Classplus founders Mukul Rustagi and Bhaswat Agarwal founded Polaris School of Technology in 2024, they established campus within the DivyaSree Wipro corridor in Bengaluru.
E Cell PST was founded immediately after by President Saahi Dubey · a builder who chose PST over IIT Bombay Aerospace and cracked Google Summer of Code (GSoC) in year one. Rather than copying 25 year old traditional college club bureaucracies, E Cell was structured like an early stage startup accelerator.
“If you want to spend four years preparing for a mass recruiter exam, there are hundreds of colleges in India. Polaris exists for the rare few who want to ship code that impacts real people before their 21st birthday.”
Our Operating Values.
Ship first.
Code in production beats 50 pages of PowerPoint slides. If a user cannot click it, it does not exist.
Tell the truth.
We celebrate honest metrics and brutal roasts. Fake 10M user vanity numbers have no place in our rooms.
Help the next founder.
When your startup raises or cracks distribution, you give 2 hours a month back to the campus freshers.
Play long games.
Venture building is a multi-year compounding game. We are here to create generational tech founders.
Our Honest Timeline.
We don't pretend to have a 25-year heritage. We are young, agile, and high-access.
