You see an India-scale problem and want to ship something that solves it.

You build experiences, films, games, or stories inspired by India.

You preserve languages, tell histories, or document what others overlook.

No technical background needed. If your idea is inspired by India, it belongs here.

Jivanshu works on community and platform at GrowthX, and co-founded GenX24, a growth marketing agency for startups.

He has built communities for top builders and operators at GrowthX, and runs a Gen-Z podcast called Smallcast alongside his marketing work.

His experience curating rooms where builders and operators come together is exactly what Build for India needs: getting a diverse group of creators into one space and keeping the energy focused on shipping.
