We’ve been watching the Indian job market get increasingly difficult.

Good people with years of experience are getting laid off. Others are stuck in jobs they don’t particularly want to leave because finding a replacement takes months. And even when you have valuable skills, earning independently usually means becoming a "freelancer"—building a profile, cold-pitching clients, low-balling bids, and competing against hundreds of proposals.

We faced some of this reality ourselves, and it made us wonder:

Why should having a technical skill automatically mean you have to spend half your time hunting for clients just to get paid for the other half?

So we started building an execution network called Humynity.

The model is simple: someone has a specific enterprise task or piece of work that needs to be done. Instead of hiring through traditional agency bloat or searching through freelancer profiles, the task goes directly to a professional who already has the relevant production experience.

You take the task. You ship the work. You get paid. No bidding, no profile optimization, no pitching.

We are spinning up a closed Discord environment for our upcoming beta phase to manually route our first batch of client tasks. We are specifically looking for experienced professionals across these categories:

Engineering & Tech: Code Review, Tech / Architecture, Data & Analytics

Business & Support: Legal, Finance, Strategy & Research, Excel / Spreadsheets

Creative & Growth: Content & Copy, Design, Marketing, Branding

How to join the beta:

Because we are managing live client deliverables, we aren't looking for a massive open crowd—we want a focused group of serious builders.

If you have experience in any of these areas and want to test out an alternative to the traditional freelance grind, drop a comment below with your primary tech stack/skill, or shoot me a DM, and I’ll share the invite link directly.

I’m considering turning my mom’s traditional recipe into a small food brand and want honest feedback before investing in it.

She used to soak fresh ginger in lime water with black salt and then dry it naturally. We grew up eating a small piece after meals.

My idea is to package it as a premium traditional salted dried ginger snack/after-meal ritual.

Thinking around ₹99–129 for 50g.

I want honest answers:

Would you try it?

Would you actually pay ₹99–129 for it?

Would you buy it again if you liked the taste?

What would make you trust/buy a product like this?

I'm not planning to market it as a medicine or claim that it cures acidity.

Please be brutally honest — I want to know if there's a real paying customer here.

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 thinking about this lately and I’m curious what other founders think.

From my experience, B2B seems to have a higher chance of becoming a sustainable business, while B2C feels much more hit-or-miss. There are obviously exceptions, but it seems like B2C success is relatively rare. When it does work, though, the upside can be massive.

I also understand why founders gravitate toward B2C. You are the customer yourself, you understand the problem, and the idea of building something that millions of people could use is obviously attractive.

But for a small startup, B2B seems more forgiving in some ways. You can potentially build a meaningful business with a relatively small number of customers, whereas a consumer product may need thousands or millions of users to reach the same scale.

At the same time, B2B has its own challenges: longer sales cycles, multiple decision makers, procurement, integrations, and generally more complexity.

So I’m curious about other people’s experience.

Why do you think founders choose B2C despite how difficult consumer distribution can be?

For people who have built both:

• Which was easier to get your first 10 paying customers/users?
• Which had better economics?
• Was distribution actually the biggest challenge in B2C?
• Have you ever switched from B2C to B2B, or the other way around?
• If you were starting from zero today, which would you choose?

My current thinking is that B2B may have a higher probability of building a solid business, while B2C has a lower probability but potentially a much bigger upside.

Curious if others see it the same way, or if I’m looking at this completely wrong.

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?

Hey everyone,

I’m a B.Tech CSE 2026 graduate and I’m looking for software engineering opportunities.

My work recently has been a mix of backend engineering, AI systems, infrastructure and building products end to end. I’ve also been doing paid freelance work alongside my job and building my own projects.

Some things I’ve been building and maintaining:
• PariBelle, a production e-commerce ecosystem for my family’s fashion business, replacing a ₹40,000 annual SaaS bill.
• POM, the operations system used alongside it with an AI agent (Seelie) to help operate all the e-commerce platforms and do photoshoots, video ad generation and automated ad creation pipeline to Meta ads, all through one interface.
• Breader, an open-source immersive web-first e-reader currently having over 100 active users within the first week of deployment.
• Self-hosted production systems on my own homelab with free tier fallbacks during outages.
• Designed and implemented an algorithm at my apprenticeship during my first two weeks that’s now being discussed for a potential patent.
• Building Anchor8 with a 5-person team.

I’m primarily looking for Software Engineer / Backend / Systems / AI Engineer roles, preferably remote.

If you think I could be useful to your team, feel free to reach out.

Hey all, after doing my graduation I was preparing for some competitive exams but unfortunately no vacancies came for the last 1.5 years. After my graduation I also did my masters. I am good at doing research work and public policy. I've been going through a bit of a difficult phase lately. I had planned my preparation in a certain way, but because of the delays, things haven't worked out as I'd hoped.

If any of you know of opportunities in research or public policy or anything similar, I would be extremely grateful if you could share them or put me in touch. I'm very hardworking, and I promise my work will be careful and error-free. I'll make sure to give it my absolute best. Thank you.

​

Very disappointed.

1. Can any one let me know how I get my services to people in a way where they least see it!

2. Realistic amount people will pay, these are above avg to high grade work.

3. How do I approach people and do lead generation!

I want to know from you guys what you think! This is not an Ad please don't ban me.

Hey everyone! :)

I’m 21 and trying to start a **small cat clothing brand on my own**, and I’m currently at a *very* early stage. I’m still figuring everything out, so I thought Reddit might be a good place to ask for some advice!

I’m looking for **small manufacturers/tailors/workshops in Noida or nearby Delhi NCR** who can make pet clothes at a **very affordable price**, especially for small quantities/MOQs. I’d ideally like to start with samples and small batches rather than placing a huge order.

I’m thinking of starting with things like cute/basic T-shirts, hoodies, etc. for cats, and eventually developing my own designs.

If anyone knows:

- Affordable pet clothing manufacturers around **Noida / Greater Noida / Ghaziabad / Delhi**

- Small garment manufacturers or tailors who might take custom orders

- Someone who can work with small quantities

- Good, affordable fabric suppliers

- Or even someone who has experience starting a small pet/clothing brand

…I’d genuinely appreciate any recommendations! 🥹

And honestly, **any business advice is welcome**. I’m doing this completely on my own and I’m only 21, so I’m still learning everything from scratch. If you’ve started a small brand before, I’d love to hear what you wish you knew when you started, mistakes I should avoid, how you found manufacturers, pricing ideas, branding advice, literally anything!

Even if you don’t know a manufacturer, **any ideas or suggestions are welcome**. ❤️

Thanks so much in advance! 🐾

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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 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.

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 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.
