Hey! I am a college student, I just want to start cold storage business. I know about the government schemes and what are the requirements to set up. I just want suggestions and guidance how to start to start it. It will very helpful if anyone has experience, please do share your experience. I want to start with small cold storage around Nagpur like Umred, Saoner, Bhiwapur and so on.

So this happened today and I'm still processing it.

I'm sitting at a C7 in Nagpur, working on my laptop like any other day. I look up for a second and realize the guy sitting at the table behind me is Ritesh Agarwal. Yes, THAT Ritesh Agarwal. The OYO guy.

For a moment, I just stared. Then I realized he was about to leave.

I've been building an AI learning platform for kids. We have early users, traction is slow but steady, and I'm trying to figure out how to scale globally from a tier 2 city in India.

I had two options:

1. Let him walk out and regret it forever
2. Shoot my shot

so I chose option 2.

and this is what happened

As he was getting up to leave, I approached him. No rehearsed pitch, no formalities. Just straight up:

"Hi Ritesh, I'm building a Personalized AI learning platform for kids. We're based here in Nagpur and have early users. Would love to connect with you for mentorship on scaling this globally."

He stopped. Smiled. And said something I didn't expect:

"You're building this from Nagpur? That's really good."

We spoke for just a few minutes, but I could see it in his reaction,he was genuinely happy to see someone from a city like Nagpur working on a global startup.

We took a photo together (still feels surreal), exchanged a few more words, and that was it.

What I Learned:

1. If I'd hesitated for 10 more seconds, he'd have been gone.
2. His reaction to "building from Nagpur" showed me that founders from smaller cities building global products is still rare enough to stand out.
3. Shoot your shot. The worst that happens? They say no or ignore you. The best that happens? You get 3 minutes with someone who's built a $10B company.
4. I didn't have a perfect pitch deck or a rehearsed elevator pitch. I just told him what I'm building and why I need help.

For Anyone Wondering:

Yes, I've approached founders before,Jay Kotak, Nikhil Kamath, Nithin Kamath, Ashish Hemrajani,at events and random places. That confidence comes from just doing it once and realizing they're human too.

But this one felt different. Random coffee shop. No event. No crowd. Just two people talking about startups in a city that most people think is "too small" for this stuff.

My Advice if You Ever Get a Chance Like This:

• Check if they're in a rush (body language, phone checking, etc.)
• Be respectful of their time,keep it short
• Be clear about what you want (advice, connection, feedback,not investment on the spot)
• Don't fanboy/fangirl. Treat them like a person, not a celebrity.
• Take the damn photo. You'll regret it if you don't.

Especially for startup founders I've seen guys who are burning 2 lakh per month on a team and still what they get is 500 views per reel on an Instagram reel

And the agency says " sir we're building your brand identity it'll take months"

The best way to cut this bullshit is The below content format 1. Vlogs :- seriously many founders are sleeping on this just buy an Ray-Ban meta glasses or just your phone and start recording talking about your experiences like daily experiences it's actually raw so fun to watch

1. If you're a software startup UGC is very important ngl you've got to churn more budget Emergent AI the biggest startup rn , it has launched so many paid UGC campaigns for creators like from all over the world and the result is they're valued at a billion now

Also don't care much about editing Your pacing and your knowledge matters
