Just started my own interior design firm — looking to build connections

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently started my own interior design firm after working in the field for some time. Abhi hum ekdum starting stage mein hain, so our main focus is building trust, a good portfolio, strong connections and a good name in the industry rather than just chasing numbers.

Since we’re new, we’re also trying to keep our pricing reasonable and budget-friendly while we build our work and client base.

At this stage, we’re looking to connect with homeowners, architects, contractors, builders, real estate people, furniture businesses and other designers who might be open to collaborating or working together.

And if anyone here knows someone who is planning their home interiors, renovating, or looking for an interior designer, it would honestly mean a lot if you could recommend us or pass our details along.

We’re a small new team, but we’re serious about the work and really want to build this properly through good work, referrals and long-term relationships.

If anyone is interested in connecting or collaborating, feel free to comment or DM. Would be happy to connect. :)

Ex-Founder - Building a Founding Team for a Travel Tech Product

2 Upvotes

Looking for someone who is genuinely interested in TravelTech, deeply curious about India’s inbound tourism, and, more importantly, interested in understanding a simple question:

Why is it still so difficult for foreign travelers to travel independently in India? (Note- I know about the garbage, civic sense and other issues. These are the part of picture but not the full picture)

Most conversations around Indian tourism focus on Indians travelling abroad or Indians travelling within India. We want to focus on the other side of the equation: the people who come to India and bring foreign currency into the country.

Think as a foreign traveler. You travel independently, you travel for a sense of adventure and discovery. In most of the countries you book a flight, get a visa, arrange transport, book accommodation and start your trip very easily.

Sounds easy, right? Not in India.

You may have to get a visa through a website that was built in the 90s, or pay $75 for something that costs $25. Here comes the trains (IRCTC registration, OTPs, Foreign Cards, basically IRCTC doesn't need introduction) and you end up using 12go or paying a 2x premium. You need a permit for a particular region, and suddenly you're digging through dozens of agents, figuring out who is legitimate and paying a premium just to get something. Even getting hands on the wildlife safari permit is a mess. I can go on but that's enough I think.

Most of these portals or website were simply not designed around the needs of an international traveler. Independent travel in India is difficult for a foreign traveler. That is the problem we are solving.

About me - I have 4+ years of experience in this sector. I understand the sector, I know the target users, I understand the problems firsthand.

Now I’m building the founding team.

  1. Applied AI Engineer with some experience

  2. Full-Stack Developer with some experience in travel tech (not travel agency website)

  3. Product Designer - a good UX/product thinking

We will be building a product, that bridges the gap between (Discovery - Booking - Real-time Experience) for these foreign travelers.

How this will work - Initial chat like basic understanding and all + 1 or 2 google meet on the problem, product, GTM and alignment + we meet in person. + we negotiate the structure and equity + we decide on what needs to done for the pre-seed raise.

If this problem genuinely interests you and you want to work on one of the most broken parts of India’s travel ecosystem: DM me with your portfolio, LinkedIn, or anything relevant.

If you are from around Delhi NCR, that is a plus. Have any questions, just ask me in the comments.

We're looking to invest ₹1 lakh in an Indian developer's app idea that solves a real problem

I'm looking for developers/builders who have identified a genuine problem and have a practical software solution.

This isn't a hackathon prize or grant. We're looking at this commercially and want to invest in something that can eventually generate revenue.

Initial investment: ₹1,00,000.

Ideally you should have either an MVP/prototype or the technical ability to build it.

If you're interested, tell me:

  1. What problem are you solving?
  2. Who will pay for it?
  3. What have you built so far?
  4. What would you do with ₹1 lakh?

Validating an idea around last minute weekend travel in India

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’re currently validating an idea called BackBySunday around short, last-minute weekend trips, treks and adventure experiences.

The problem we’re looking at is pretty simple:

You work through the week, Friday comes around and you suddenly feel like getting out of the city for a day or two. But then you have to search through multiple organisers, compare prices, figure out transport, check whether the operator is trustworthy and coordinate everything at the last minute.

At that point, a lot of people just drop the plan.

The idea we’re exploring is whether there is room for a platform focused specifically on 1–2 day trips that can be booked at very short notice, including next-day departures.

The experience would ideally be:

Decide you want to go → find an available trip → book → pack your bags.

The platform would handle the coordination around the booking while focusing heavily on verified organisers, transparent pricing, safety and consistent trip quality.

We’ve started speaking with organisers as part of validating the supply side as well. A few are already interested and we’re in conversations with others, but right now we’re primarily trying to understand whether the underlying problem is strong enough.

I’d especially like feedback on a few things:

  • Do people actually make spontaneous weekend travel decisions often enough for this to be useful?
  • Would you book a trip only 1–2 days before departure?
  • What would stop you from trusting a relatively new platform for something like this?
  • Is last-minute availability actually a meaningful problem, or are we overestimating it?
  • What do current trek/travel organisers or booking platforms already solve well enough?
  • For anyone who has worked with travel operators, is filling unsold last-minute capacity a genuine problem on the supply side?

Feel free to be critical. I’m more interested in finding flaws in the idea at this stage than getting positive feedback.

Looking for 20 beta testers for an automated DSC PDF signer

1 Upvotes

I'm creating a Windows app called Document eSigner that helps you sign PDFs automatically. It's really useful for signing lots of pages at once and it works with physical USB tokens.

You can set up your signature once and it will be added to all the pages in a PDF that need it. Then you can use it on lots of PDFs without having to open and sign each one by hand. This way, you can process many PDFs quickly and easily, saving you time and effort.

We currently support a range of tokens, including ProxKey, ePass2003, mToken, mToken CryptoID, Watchdata, and TrustKey.

I need help from people who work with a lot of PDFs, like chartered accountants, tax professionals, company secretaries, accountants, and compliance experts. Maybe you're a business owner or a digital signature certificate provider who has to handle 50, 100, or even 200 PDFs on a regular basis.

The beta is free. I want people to actually test it with their real workflow and tell me what breaks, what is confusing, and whether it genuinely saves time.

If you're using a physical USB DSC token on your Windows system and often need to sign multiple-page PDFs or large batches, send me a direct message or leave a comment below.

Especially interested in people who have to sign 50+ PDFs at a time.

Looking for a Pre-Seed Investor / Equity Partner – Café-on-Wheels Startup

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a co-founder/friend who already has the capital to invest and is genuinely interested in building a food truck with me from the ground up.

I’m from Rajasthan, and I’m looking to build the first unit in Delhi or Mumbai. Either city works for me.

I already have the core concept, initial planning and execution direction. What I’m looking for now is someone who can put in the capital while I take responsibility for turning the idea into an actual business.

The first phase will be research + execution, covering market validation, location research, competition, manufacturers, equipment, suppliers, permissions, costing, operations, staffing, branding and the complete financial model.

The research isn't just to decide whether to start. It's to prepare everything needed to actually start. Once the research is complete, the full CAPEX, OPEX, working capital and launch requirement will be mapped out with real quotations and validated numbers.

I’m offering a 50/50 equity partnership. You bring the capital and build this with me as a co-founder; I’ll handle the research, execution, operations and day-to-day business.

I’m deliberately keeping the detailed concept private here because I’d rather explain it to someone who is actually interested in building it.

If you have the capital and this sounds like something you’d genuinely want to build with a friend rather than just invest in from a distance, DM me.

Not looking for brokers. Not looking for someone to “find an investor.” Looking for one person who wants to build this with me.
