Tech giant Google has announced a two-week programme under its Google for Startups India initiative to help early-stage founders, startup teams, and aspiring entrepreneurs build AI-powered prototypes using Google’s advanced AI tools.
The program aims to turn ideas into real, working AI solutions — fast.
Participants will gain hands-on experience in using Google’s cutting-edge technologies to design, test, and deploy their own AI-first products.
What the Programme Offers
Running from November 27 to December 7, 2025, the training will guide participants through every stage of building an AI product — from ideation to launch.
Founders will get access to Google’s latest tools, including Gemini, Nano Banana, Imagen, Veo, NotebookLM, and AI Studio, helping them learn how to research, design, and deploy AI-powered solutions.
The sessions will focus on three main areas:
AI-First Prototyping
AI-Powered Research
AI Creative Studio
Those who successfully complete the program will receive a Google-recognised Certificate of Participation and could qualify for the “Build the Future” Showcase in January 2026 — where top innovators will get mentorship from Google experts.
Empowering India’s AI Entrepreneurs
Ragini Das, Head of Google for Startups India, said,
“Our goal is to make the power of AI accessible to every founder, breaking traditional coding barriers. With Google’s full-stack AI tools, entrepreneurs can move from concept to creation faster and with more confidence.”
The initiative is supported by MeitY Startup Hub, Startup India, IndiaAI Mission, and NASSCOM, reflecting the government’s vision of Digital India and Viksit Bharat.
According to Panneerselvam Madanagopal, CEO of MeitY Startup Hub, this collaboration will empower founders across India to build globally competitive, AI-driven solutions for social and economic growth.
India’s AI Ecosystem Is Booming
Earlier in September, Google also launched its free three-month AI Accelerator Program, selecting 20 startups from over 1,600 applicants to scale AI-based innovations across healthcare, finance, climate, and education.
With India’s generative AI ecosystem growing 3.7 times in the past year, the country has now become the second-largest GenAI startup hub in the world.
