DPIIT-recognized startups
If your startup is DPIIT-registered, you can access the Startup India Organization ID that unlocks dedicated AWS Activate credit programs for Indian founders.

Paying $500+ a month on AWS or GCP? Providers routinely extend credits to fast-growing teams with real, active usage on a paid account.

Why this is free
I'm Aseem Singhal, co-founder of NorthBridge Minds. We run an MBA program with a partner university, and our students learn more from real startups than from any textbook.
Helping founders get AWS and GCP credits is how we meet those startups. You pay nothing, ever.
If we've been useful and it suits you later, there are three things we'd love: take one of our students as an intern, hand a student team a real problem to work on, or spend an hour speaking to our cohort. All optional. The credits are yours either way. More about us →
