AI Grants India

Free AI model access for India’s smartest builders.

AI Grants India (AIGI) is the fastest way for developers, students, and hackers across India to get free access to powerful AI model APIs. Whether you're at a hackathon, launching a side project, or just getting started with AI — we remove the #1 blocker: paid model access.

No credit cards. No red tape. Just instant access to build.

No filters. No fluff. Just the fastest onramp to building with AI.

Who’s it for?

  • Hackathon teams.
  • College students & AI clubs.
  • Indie hackers & side project builders.
  • Early-stage founders & tinkerers.
  • Anyone serious about shipping with AI.

What you get:

  • Free API access to open-source & proprietary models.
  • Fast approvals — most in under 48 hours.
  • Zero friction onboarding.
  • Community support + invites to events and showcases.

Why we exist:

India has the world’s sharpest young AI talent. But most can't access the tools they need to start.

AIGI flips the script — backing talent, not titles.
