Startup School: Prompt to Prototype (India)

Google for Startups Free Beginner India

An India-focused program on going from an idea to a working prototype using AI and modern tools. It is aimed at founders here who need to test something real without a design or engineering team. A good local starting point that matches the short answer's build-a-rough-clickable-thing spirit.

  • Built for Indian founders moving from idea to prototype
  • Uses AI tools to shortcut the design and build learning curve
  • Focuses on a testable prototype, not a polished product
