Take 3-5 classes from a professional driving school and then practice regularly with someone for few weeks. Apply for DL when you are ready!

There’s driving schools that can teach you how to drive. Also if possible ask a good friend or a family member to teach you.

Which state are you in? I took a 10 class package in NY. Never drove a car in India (motorbikes only) so had to learn afresh.
I found it worth the time and money. I did not have to worry about finding a friend or space - the driving school vehicles are well insured and the instructor has an additional break pedal so less stress about running into a tree or something.
Edit: my 10 class package also included taking me to the driving exam - so same car in which you learn.

Get lessons? Have a friend take you to a big empty parking lot and graduate to backroads, then neighvorhoods, then highways?

How many classes do you think I need?

5-10 usually is a good start
Get a class package from a decent place, esp one that will include scheduling your test for you and will also drive you to the test

Go to a driving school. I learned to drive when I was 16 in the US. My one suggestion would be to make sure they are taking you in traffic / city areas. While I was comfortable driving in residential areas right when I got my license at 16, it took me years to get comfortable driving in a major US city because my driving school just took me around my suburb / residential area.

Unrelated question to the mck folks from India - which IIMs you’re from?

That’s correct, I thought you joined McK in India and then moved to US like some of my peers from IIM
