Google on Wednesday announced an initiative, Startup School India, that aims to organise accumulated knowledge into a structured curriculum to enable startups in small cities to overcome various challenges.
Google hopes that the programme will help 10,000 startups in tier 2 and tier 3 cities (smaller cities).
The nine-week programme, delivered virtually, will have fireside chats between Google leaders and collaborators from across the startup ecosystem, spanning fintech, business-to-business and business-to-consumer e-commerce, language, social media and networking, job search, and other areas.

“There will also be opportunities for founders to gain orthogonal insights from discussions around what makes an effective founder, formalising hiring, and more,” Karthik Padmanabhan, Developer Relations Program Manager Lead, and Aditya Swamy, Director – Play Partnerships, wrote in a blog post.
With close to 70,000 startups, India is the third-largest birthing ground for startups in the world. And as more Indian founders lead their companies successfully to IPOs or unicorn status, it has set off a virtuous cycle wherein their success has ignited aspirations among young Indians across the length and breadth of the country.
