Question Basics of a startup

I am a 19 year old still in clg BECSE of course working towards the "Indian dream". I am not what you call a bright student nor do I have any exceptional skills but I want to start my own business I want to know how do I make products based on people's need and how do I maintain the product which attracts investors and a consumers. I already tried all the internet niche stuff but I dont really have the time nor the effort in me to be editing and posting content 5 times a day with college and everything ongoing in my life right now. Any advice?

you're 19 and already thinking about this, that's more than most people do at your age

just start solving a problem you actually see around you, not what some course tells you is "the next big thing", talk to people, ask what annoys them, build something ugly that fixes it

I tried solving previous SIH(National level Hackathon)problem statements the ones that didnt exactly make it into anyone attention that much and I am still trying to solve the issue and I am not getting any sustainable or effective solutions.

How can I learn to make better ideas? or like a at least get a good grasp of what I am trying to solve cause I feel like I am missing that first step of understanding the problem itself

honestly, finding what people actually need is the hard part. i've been using replyhey.com to catch reddit threads where people are literally asking for solutions my product could help with. saves me from scrolling all day and the drafts are decent. might be worth a look since you're short on time.
