From Idea to Startup: Building a Venture

Have a great idea but don’t know how to build a startup—especially from a smaller city? In this 1-hour session, I’ll walk you through the practical steps of building a tech venture from scratch, based on my journey of launching & scaling a dronetech startup from Nashik.

We’ll cover:

• How to validate your idea and find your niche
• Building a team when resources are limited
• Accessing incubators, grants, and CSR funding
• Navigating the unique challenges of tier-2 cities
• Staying lean while building for scale
• Design thinking approach for the first time founders

This session is ideal for aspiring founders, college students, and anyone looking to turn a vision into a real, impact-driven business—without needing a Silicon Valley address.
