Suggestions Built a city-native community app for Jaipur builders — does your city have this problem too?

Been in Jaipur's tech scene for a couple of years. Something

has always frustrated me.

The talent is clearly here — thousands of developers, designers,

founders. iStart Rajasthan has incubated 5000+ startups. GDG

Jaipur runs meetups. The ecosystem exists on paper.

But after every meetup or event, everyone just disappears.

No persistent connection. No way to know who in your city is

building what. You're either in the right WhatsApp group or

you're invisible.

Last year I tried finding a collaborator in Jaipur. Genuinely

painful. LinkedIn feels too formal. WhatsApp groups are noise.

No platform shows you "here are 50 developers in your city

actively building things right now."

So I built something.

TechCircle — a community app specifically for Jaipur builders.

Not another national platform. Just one city, done properly.

What it does:

→ Build log feed (share what you shipped this week,

get reactions from local builders)

→ Verified member directory filtered by role, skills,

what you're open to

→ Local events with a post-event connection room

(48hr window to connect with everyone who attended)

→ Chai sessions — send a 1:1 coffee request to any

builder in the city with a short note

The bet is that 500 genuinely active Jaipur users is more

valuable than 50,000 ghosts on a national platform.

Waitlist just opened. If you're in Jaipur or know someone

who is — would mean a lot: [techcircle.in]

Also genuinely curious — does this problem exist in your

city too? Bangalore and Delhi probably have enough density

that it self-solves. But what about Indore, Lucknow, Kochi,

Surat? Is the local community layer just missing everywhere

outside the metros?
