For a pre-revenue impact startup in India, how game-changing could a small, initial grant (~₹1 Lakh) be? (Think covering basics like registration, validation, maybe a tiny prototype.) How impactful is that first small boost?

🚀 Game-changer (Gets it started!)

👍 Helpful, but needs more soon

🔬 Good mainly for validation

🤏 Likely too small to matter

ChatGPT said: A small initial grant of ₹1 Lakh can be incredibly game-changing for a pre-revenue impact startup in India, and here’s why: At Friday AI, we started with a vision to revolutionize human-AI interaction through emotional intelligence, focusing on creating emotionally aware AI tools for individuals, creators, and enterprises. Our journey began with limited resources, but that small initial push helped us cover essential foundational costs — allowed us to develop a small prototype. That prototype became the key to building trust and showcasing our potential. Today, we’re building an integrated AI ecosystem with products like Friday AI Chat, Voricon- Voice Model, Zuno- Creator studio and Friday Power - No code ai Platform , Guru AI Agents and working towards scaling to millions of users. For any startup in India, that initial ₹1 Lakh grant could make all the difference, turning an idea into a reality and paving the way for greater things. What starts small can evolve into something extraordinary, as it did for us.
