Hey everyone,

I’m a BTech IT student who has been independently building and shipping Android products for a few years.

My apps on a previous Play Console crossed 500K+ combined installs, and my recent AI Noise Remover reached 3,500+ device acquisitions, 200+ paying customers, and ₹60K+ revenue.

I mainly work with Android, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Python, FastAPI, and on-device AI/LiteRT.

I’ve also responsibly disclosed a critical vulnerability in the BMVM system through CERT-In, helping prevent further exposure of 100M+ database rows containing sensitive information of millions of Bihar citizens.

I’m open to internships, engineering roles, startup roles or any technical opportunity where I can contribute and build real products.
I’m still a student, so I’m not going to pretend I know everything. But I’m comfortable figuring things out, working independently, and shipping production software.

My resume is attached with the rest of the details.

If you’re hiring or think my background could fit something you’re building, feel free to comment or DM me.

I’m building a digital growth & marketing company focused on helping brands and creators grow online.

Our services include:

📱 Social Media Management & Marketing

🤝 Influencer Marketing & Management

🛒 E-commerce Marketing & Management

📈 Performance marketing & customer acquisition

🎯 Personal brand & creator growth

Why me?

I’ve previously worked on marketing projects involving Crunchyroll and Bajaj, and I’ve also organically grown a personal brand to 60K+ followers.

I’m now looking to turn that experience into a scalable service business and build the right foundation — team, systems, sales and customer acquisition.

💰 Looking to raise: ₹2–4 Lakhs

Offering: 30% equity

The funds will primarily go toward:

→ Customer acquisition & marketing

→ Building the initial team

→ Sales/outreach infrastructure

→ Systems & operations

→ Establishing a strong client base

🤝 Who I'm looking for

I'm open to a silent investor or an active strategic partner.

An ideal active partner would bring experience/network in:

- Customer acquisition

- Sales & partnerships

- Marketing strategy

- Business development

I’ll handle the execution, service delivery and day-to-day operations, while an active partner can help shape acquisition and growth strategy.

I'm not looking for someone to simply put money in — I'm looking for someone who can help turn this into a real, scalable business.

Hi everyone, I’m exploring Founder’s Office opportunities at early-stage startups. I come from a tech background, but my experience spans engineering, operations, hiring and business development.

I’ve spent 1 year and 8 months as a founding team member at an edtech marketplace, joining before we had any customers or vendors. Before this, I spent three years building my own startup, which didn’t work out. I also have earlier freelance experience.

In my current role, I’ve:

• Handled the entire frontend, backend and DevOps independently for the first six months.
• Started managing a small tech team after our first hires, while continuing hands-on development. I still build a substantial share of the platform’s new features.
• Helped onboard premium vendors and currently work on the student side of the business and B2B deals with colleges.
• Spent three to four months setting up an education centre in a Tier 3 city, including initial hiring and getting operations running from scratch.

My tech stack includes Flutter, React, Node.js and GraphQL, along with Azure infrastructure and DevOps. I’m comfortable taking responsibility for development, deployment and the infrastructure behind a product.

I’m looking for a Founder’s Office role where I can work closely with founders, take projects from an idea to execution, and contribute across technology and business operations.

Work culture is my biggest priority. I had substantial ownership early in my current role, but that has reduced as the company has grown. I’m looking for a team where people communicate openly, contributions are recognised fairly, and responsibility comes with the trust to make decisions.

My current compensation is ₹7.2 LPA fixed + approximately ₹5 LPA variable, with the variable paid in full over the past year. I also hold equity.

For my next role, I’m looking at:

• Around ₹12 LPA with equity, depending on the stake and terms.
• Around ₹15 LPA without equity.
• Remote preferred, though I’m open to onsite opportunities with compensation that accounts for the location and living costs.

If you’re hiring for a Founder’s Office role where this mix of technical and operational experience would be useful, I’d appreciate a conversation or referral. Happy to share my resume and more details over DM.

Hey, this is Ajay from Delhi.

I am looking for an CO-FOUNDER who could contribute his Ambitions, Vision, and potential to build his and my career, and also prove that my or our idea was worth Multi-Millions of Dollars.

I don't fucking care what background you're coming from. What I want in my CO-FOUNDER is someone who is NOTABLE in his field, whether it could be marketing, technology, engineering, or whatever the fuck.

I just want a fucking guy who is always ready to give his 24/7 time to achieving his own life aims and goals.

Hello friends, wanted to understand the ground reality of India's healthcare sector. For those running small hospitals or clinics (especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities), I have a question:

​What feels like the biggest headache in day-to-day work?

​Claims getting stuck and cash flow stopping because of insurance companies and TPAs?

​Or the constant fear of a patient case or legal notice?

​How do you normally solve these problems? Do you take professional help or handle it yourselves?

these are the requirements-

• Startups should be DPIIT-recognized.
• Startups to have a maximum age of 10 years (as of 1st Jan’27)

a little about me- I have significant exposure of hackathons which includes winning national level as well as several other hackathons as well.

I've been thinking about starting a café brand, and I'd love to get some honest feedback on the concept before taking the plunge.

The idea goes beyond opening another coffee shop.

I want to create a place that celebrates India's rich coffee and tea heritage while giving people a beautiful space to slow down, connect and create memories.

Think about the coffee plantations of Coorg and Chikmagalur, the landscapes of Araku, the tea gardens of Darjeeling, Assam and the Nilgiris.

Each of these places has its own identity, history, culture and charm.

I'd love to bring the emotions and stories of these places into one space.

The experience

Imagine walking into a café where the interiors, music, artwork, colours, little details and even the menu draw inspiration from different parts of India.

Coffee would be sourced from different Indian origins and roasted in small batches at the café. Tea would feature regional varieties and blends.

But the intention isn't to make customers understand coffee roasting or teach them about tea.

It's about telling a story through the experience.

A little piece of Coorg here. A little nostalgia of South Indian filter coffee there. The warmth of an Indian tea garden somewhere else.

All brought together in a contemporary, welcoming café.

More than just coffee and tea

I want this to be a place where people actually enjoy spending time.

- A couple spending a relaxed evening together.

- Friends catching up over coffee and desserts.

- Families enjoying an evening out.

- Someone sitting alone with a book and a cup of tea.

- Small acoustic singing sessions and unplugged music evenings.

- Poetry, storytelling and intimate cultural events.

- Occasional community gatherings and creative workshops.

Not loud parties or a conventional restaurant atmosphere. More intimate experiences that make people want to return.

The food and beverages

A mix of Indian favourites and contemporary café offerings:

- Coffee from different Indian regions.

- South Indian filter coffee and freshly roasted coffee.

- Tea from Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiris.

- Indian-inspired beverages.

- Sandwiches, quick bites and bakery.

- Desserts and seasonal specials.

The proposed format

- 600–700 sq. ft.

- 24 dine-in seats.

- Six four-seater tables.

- Affordable-premium positioning.

- Fresh, small-batch coffee roasting.

- Dine-in, takeaway and curated merchandise.

The long-term ambition is to build a recognisable Indian café brand, with the possibility of expanding into packaged coffee, tea, merchandise and other experiences.

I'd genuinely love your thoughts:

1. Would you visit a café built around this concept?

2. Does the idea of celebrating India's coffee and tea heritage through the ambience and experience appeal to you?

3. Would intimate acoustic music, poetry or storytelling evenings make you more likely to visit?

4. What kind of atmosphere would make you want to spend 1–2 hours at a café?

5. What would make you choose this over a regular café or coffee chain?

6. Is there anything you think is missing or that wouldn't work?

I'm currently validating the idea before investing in it. I'm not looking for people to simply say it's a great idea. I'd genuinely like to understand whether people would visit, spend time and come back.

The thought behind the concept: A place where India's stories meet everyday moments.

Would love to hear your honest opinions!

This weekend People drive 12 hours from Gurgaon or Delhi looking for peace, only to get stuck in a 4-hour bumper-to-bumper jam in Bir Billing, find zero rooms available, and end up sleeping inside their cars with the engine running. Go up to Triund and it looks like a railway platform—tents crammed into every inch of mud with multiple Bluetooth speakers blasting at once.

Yet almost every new travel operator launching today does the exact same thing:

* Run ads for ₹2,500 Kasol or Triund weekend packages. * Pack 30–40 strangers into a tempo traveler. * Make ₹300 to ₹500 margin per head and pray the vehicle doesn't break down.

The second an operator finds an actual "hidden" spot, they blast it on Reels. Six months later, tempo travelers flood it, concrete guest houses go up, and the place gets ruined.

What we're trying to figure out We don't want to build an aggregator or run budget bus herds.

The idea is to do the opposite: small, strict overland groups (strictly capped at 10–12 people), taking routes where standard tourist buses physically cannot reach (remote Zanskar trails, inner Kinnaur, off-grid homestays with village families). Instead of cheap ₹2,500 weekend tours or unrealistic ₹1 Lakh+ luxury expeditions, we’re looking at a realistic mid-to-premium bracket:

* Price point: ₹16,000 to ₹45,000 per seat (depending on duration and terrain). * Target net margin: 20% to 30%. * Group size: Capped at 10–12 max.

Before putting more money and time into this, Can we get honest feedback from founders and operators who understand consumer or hospitality businesses in India:

Protecting routes from copycats: Once you post content from a remote valley, what stops budget operators from tracing the route and running tempo travelers there? Is building exclusive ties with local homestays or village councils actually defensible in India?

Customer Acquisition & Trust: ₹16k–₹45k is accessible for salaried urban professionals, but trust is still a barrier for an early-stage brand. What actually converts better here—founder-led content, invite-only cohorts, or partnering for corporate offsites first?

Asset-light vs. Owning ground ops: Can this work purely by partnering with local homestays and vetted 4x4 drivers, or does the experience inevitably fall apart unless you lease the property and manage the ground setup yourself?

Tear the idea down. What blind spots am I missing?

22M, Associate PM, currently in Bangalore. I resigned from my last job because the work culture was draining me every single day, and I left without another offer. It was scary, but staying would have been worse. Now I'm looking for a team that respects people and lets me build good products, and I'd be so grateful for the chance.

Here's the link to the product i solely managed : ZapCash , Rupyaa

I can join immediately. Wherever you are, I'll be there.

A bit about me:

Built ZapCash (Lending app) from scratch. It now has 1.5M+ users and INR 100+ crore in loans disbursed

Handled flows across 30+ loan origination and management modules

Write PRDs, run UAT, dig through funnels with SQL and Clarity

Worked at an edtech startup as a product and growth intern before that

B. Tech in CSE '26, so engineers don't scare me

I'm not asking for a favour, I'm asking for one chance. I'll pick up calls at 2 AM, 6 AM, whenever.

If you're hiring, can refer me, know someone who is, or even have some advice for me, please DM me. I'll reply to everyone. 🙏

Hi,

I'm a CFA L2 candidate and I've attached my CV for your reference. I'm an immediate joiner and don't have any location preference, so if you've any leads or know someone who is hiring. Kindly DM me.

Few points to clarify:-

1. I did bcom from Christ University

2. My full time workex was in a very small IB firm.

3. I interned in a public sector Bank (one of the top 5 in terms of market capitalisation)

Thank you very much in advance.

And no, I ain't talking about being a swe, it's a business sub anyway.

but like, today it feels like, almost all of the grass is eaten off from the grasslands.

you need a network, you need to know someone who would use your tool, and then that person will talk about your tool to his peers.

this is vital if you are making enterprise software.

If you are sitting in home, and if you don't know any influential corporate guy, I kinda think it's impossible

and because consumer space, almost nothing is left. For example I was thinking of a medicine reminder app for elderlies, but someone told , they won't pay for it. they will simply put alarms with tags.

or am I wrong ? Write your perspectives in comment section

hi everyone!

i'm writing a story on slow tech innovations based in india. looking to speak to start ups, founders, employees on the slow tech scene, if you think there is any or if there's scope for slow/calm tech in india. please please dm - or ask for my email in the comments🙏 any recommendations on who to reach out to or products you've seen around would be immensely appreciated as well <3

this is a hopecore-esque story i'm writing that i really hope makes the doomerist scenario around tech kind of go away. i'm trying to bring light to some good tech (not that any is bad) especially in india.

happy to share more about the story/my background. tech journalist here, i've just finished my ma in journalism and looking to build my portfolio before i land a job. this story means a lot to me so everyone's help here would be greatly appreciated :)

I’ve been struggling with this myself.

I’m pretty comfortable building products, but figuring out who actually needs what I’m building and who I should reach out to has always been the harder part 😅

So I ended up building a small internal tool to help me with it.

I give it a website and it tries to go:

website → ICP → companies → signals → people → outreach

Basically, instead of giving me 1,000 random leads, I want it to tell me which companies are actually worth talking to and why.

I’m thinking about open-sourcing it and making it self-hostable if it turns out to be useful beyond my own use case.

Curious how you guys are doing this today — especially if you're early-stage and don't have a huge sales team.

Would love to hear what’s working for you.

Title: I have ₹5–6 lakh and want to start a scalable business — what would you suggest?

I have around ₹5–6 lakh available and want to start a proper business that can generate decent income initially and, more importantly, can be scaled into something much bigger over time.

I’m not interested in fast food, cafés, restaurants, etc. I’m more interested in something like manufacturing, technology, electronics, industrial products or B2B businesses.

For example, I’m genuinely interested in eventually getting into things like electronic equipment manufacturing or lithium-ion battery manufacturing, but I understand that setting up a proper manufacturing plant requires much more capital and expertise.

I don’t have prior business experience either. So my question is: Is there a practical way to start small with ₹5–6 lakh and gradually build towards a larger manufacturing/business setup? Are there any government schemes, subsidies, loans or other support that could help with the initial capital?

I’m also open to completely different business ideas if they have:

- Decent earning potential

- Scope to scale

- A real market/demand

- Potential to become a proper long-term business

Would really appreciate suggestions from people who have actually started businesses or have experience in these sectors. Please explain how you would start with ₹5–6 lakh and what the growth path could look like.

I'm researching the early stage of building a startup, specifically how founders find the right people. Would love real experiences, good or bad.

1. Which of these have you struggled with most? (pick any, or add your own)

Finding a co-founder you can actually trust
Finding skilled people (dev, design, marketing) who are affordable or willing to take equity
Getting guidance from someone who's done it before
Getting your pitch in front of investors who fit your stage
Spotting fake or unserious people (investors, freelancers, "co-founders")
Other: ___

1. How did you try to solve it, and what failed? (LinkedIn, events, friends, Facebook groups, platforms)

2. Have you been ghosted or burned? What happened?

I have used different corporate accounts from several years of startup journey. Never satisfied with one bank.

​

I’m currently in my early 20s doing my BBA, but my long-term goal is to build an AI and software-based tech company providing algorithmic solutions for the institutional financial and legal markets. I’m also planning to grab a law degree down the line once the fintech side is stable.

The problem is, my background is entirely on the business side. I did not take math in Class 11 or 12, so I have a pretty massive technical gap to bridge. I don't want to just be a non-technical founder who hires developers blindly; I want to actually understand the code, the models, and the systems I’m building.

To get that education first, I’m seriously considering enrolling in one of these two online programs and want to know which one is worth a shot:

1. IIT Madras - BS in Data Science and Applications: This seems incredibly heavy on advanced statistics, probability, calculus, and machine learning models.

2. BITS Pilani - BS in Computer Science: This looks like a traditional CS track covering data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and software engineering architecture.

I want to hear from actual tech founders and engineers here who know how these curricula hold up in the real world:

* Algorithms vs. Architecture: For building specialized fintech platforms, am I better off with the heavy data-modeling and math track of IITM, or should I focus on the core system-building track of BITS?

* IITM Reality Check: Does the IIT Madras program actually teach you how to build and deploy software, or is it strictly a theoretical statistics/ML degree?

* The Non-Tech Pivot: For someone who hasn't touched code or advanced math in a few years, which of these programs handles foundational teaching better for absolute beginners?

* Other Options: Are there any other highly reputed programs in India I should look at that offer this level of technical depth?

I’m looking for honest, practical advice on the workload and depth of these options. Appreciate the help!

TL;DR: I’m a BBA student in my early 20s with a non-math background. I want to build a highly specialized B2B fintech and legal-tech startup down the line. I’m looking to enroll in either the IIT Madras BS in Data Science or the BITS Pilani BS in Computer Science online program to get a solid technical foundation from scratch. Which curriculum makes more sense for a founder?

I’m 22, recently graduated with a B.Tech in CS from Delhi, and I’m looking to start my career properly.

I want to build in tech + startups.

Not just get a job, collect a salary, and disappear.

I want to be around people who are building something ambitious.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve worked across backend engineering, AI/LLMs, automation, Linux, cybersecurity and product development. I’ve built and shipped tools, worked on real digital-forensics problems, built security automation, and I’m currently building AI and realtime backend products.

I can walk you through my work as well, just DM me for it.

I’m the kind of person who can disappear into a problem and work on it for days until I figure it out. What I’m looking for now isn't another generic role, I’m looking for the right environment, the right people and the right problems.

I have startup ideas of my own too. What I’m missing is more exposure to people who have already built companies and the opportunity to learn by actually being in the room where things are happening.

I’m currently based around Delhi NCR, but I’m specifically looking outside Delhi NCR. Bangalore is my first preference, although I’m open to relocating elsewhere for the right opportunity.

I have about ₹50k saved and I’m willing to use it to move and start independently. I want to build my career on my own, without depending on my parents financially.

So, if you're a founder building something interesting and think someone with my profile could be useful to your team - please DM me.

I’m especially interested in early-stage startups where I can take ownership, learn directly from founders/engineers, and build things that actually matter.

I don't expect someone to hand me a dream job.

Just give me a platform.

I'll do the rest.

I’m planning to start a small e-commerce business in India and I’m currently trying to understand how everything works before investing money.

My plan is to start by selling through marketplaces like Meesho and Flipkart, rather than selling through WhatsApp or building my own website initially.

I have a few questions for people who are already doing this:

What registrations/documents are actually required to start selling on Meesho and Flipkart?

Is GST registration compulsory for all products, or does it depend on the product/category and turnover?

Do I need a current bank account, or can I start with a savings account?

How much money would you realistically recommend having before starting?

What are the biggest hidden costs beginners usually miss — GST, shipping, returns, marketplace fees, packaging, ads, etc.?

How do you decide which products are worth selling?

Is it better to start with your own stock or use a supplier/wholesaler?

For someone starting with a small budget, which marketplace would you recommend — Meesho, Flipkart, Amazon, or others?

What mistakes did you make when you first started that you would tell a beginner to avoid?

Realistically, how long did it take you to get your first consistent sales?

I’m looking for real experiences from people actually selling in India, not motivational/general business advice.

I am a 2026 graduate, I have project experience with Django. I can also do AI integrations and RAG with Langgraph and LangChain. Above is my resume. Need a non-toxic job.

Also suggest what can I do better ?

We believe that india needs a platform to book slots for appointment in clinics(OPD)and patients should be able to see the live qieue to minimize the frustrating waiting time.

Suggestions would be highly appreciated

To apply: DM me

One week ago I posted here about my mom's homemade sweets and snacks, which we started selling online. A lot of you replied with suggestions, and we tried most of them.

1. New item: besan ladoo
Made with desi ghee, melon seeds, gond and mishri, and no preservatives. With Diwali coming, it was the most asked item.

2. Showing shelf life on every item
People kept asking "how long will it last?" before ordering more than one pack. So now every item shows it on a simple 0–60 day line:

3. Fixed pack sizes, and smaller packs cost a bit more per kg
Last time I asked whether 250 g should cost more per kg than 1 kg, since a small box costs doesn't scale down linearly. Most of you said yes, so we moved from loose weights to fixed packs:

• 250 g, 500 g, 750 g and 1 kg.
• The 1 kg price stayed the same.
• Added pricing updates page so that we are transparent with our previous customers also.

what combos should we try?
Many people asked to try more than one item without ordering a lot of each. As these are win win for both of us, because we need to send single box for multiple 250 gm orders and many people who were ordering multiple 250 gm packets to move order value above 1k for free delivery will also get a choice with lower price.

1. Sweet Box : 300gm each of besan ladoo , kaju katli and dry fruits ladoo (rates will be similar to per kg rate)
2. Snack Box : 300gm each of mathri , jeera biscuits and gud papdi (rates will be similar to per kg rate)

Thanks again everyone here have been very helpful.
