Which programme should I choose?
Choose a focused programme for one defined business problem. Consider Growth Partner when you need to work across several business functions over the year. The free Business Diagnostic and the Business Counsellor can help you narrow it down.
How do I pay and when does access start?
Click Enrol now on any programme, sign in or create your free Business LMS account, and pay the one-time fee on the company checkout through ICICI Bank’s secure page. Access activates automatically after ICICI Bank confirms the payment — usually within minutes. If the bank's confirmation is delayed, support helps. Payments are collected by Lex Orbis Education (OPC) Private Limited.
Can I pay in instalments or EMI?
ZELVU Business does not offer instalments or EMI: every programme fee is paid in full, upfront. If you would like a bank or NBFC to finance the fee, apply on the Fees & Bank Financing page. The lender assesses your application, completes KYC and shows its own loan terms before you sign; if it approves, it pays ZELVU the full programme fee, your programme unlocks for its full access period, and you repay the lender under its agreement. Approval is the lender's decision and is not guaranteed.
Is this a subscription or a loan?
Neither. Every fee is a one-time complete programme fee with a fixed access period and no automatic renewal. ZELVU Business is not a lender: if a bank finances your fee, the loan is between you and the lender, on its terms. The programme fee is the same either way.
How does the 3-day free trial work?
Create a free account and explore the Business LMS, reading material, AI tutor and tools for 3 days with no payment details. One trial per account. The trial does not create a paid enrolment and nothing is charged when it ends.
What is the difference between learning pace and access period?
The learning pace (shown on each programme page) is the guided schedule for finishing the lessons and implementation tasks. Access is 12 months from activation, so you can revisit the material and tools well after you finish.
Can I get help choosing without paying?
Yes. Use the free diagnostic, ask the Business Counsellor, or send an enquiry and choose Admission updates. An enquiry never reserves a place or charges anything.
Are revenue, customers or funding guaranteed?
No. These are educational and business-support programmes. Outcomes depend on your business, implementation and market conditions. AI guidance can be wrong and does not replace regulated professional advice.
Need help choosing?
Run the Business Diagnostic if you are not sure which pathway matches the current constraint. If your needs move across several functions, compare the Growth Partner 12-month all-access programme.
