Although they want to be a YC clone, it seems they haven't read their PG to understand the point of YC.

"We provide RescueTime (www.rescuetime.com) and 8aweek (www.8aweek.com) on your systems to keep an eye on what you are doing."

"We provide each one of you (individually) with a stipend of Rs 8k p.m."

"Microsoft would be the Technology and Mentorship Partners for the iAccelerator Program."

Seriously, I hope they are kidding with the rescuetime thing! Have they given birth to a new form of slavery??

Including Rescuetime and 8aweek in our content for promotion of the program was our attempt to highlight successful YC innovations. Believe me in India very few people (including VCs) know about YC - we'd hope more people get to know about YC. Not the clones, but the original YC.

"Including Rescuetime and 8aweek in our content for promotion of the program was our attempt to highlight successful YC innovations" - (A)

Hmm. The original sentence was

"We provide RescueTime (www.rescuetime.com) and 8aweek (www.8aweek.com) on your systems to keep an eye on what you are doing." (B)

How are the applicants supposed to infer A from B ? Is this another attempt at "humor on the internet"?

Proves my point. Failed to crack CAT uh? Trying another attempt at inference problems - alas! For someone who doesn't know what rescuetime is - he would have Googled and figured out that its a product from YC. I didn't know about YC till I came across this program in India.
