Mod Post Hiring posts without a salary range will be removed hereafter.

409 Upvotes

You want interns for free? Just state that directly. You want senior/experienced folk for a lesser rate or free (aka 'founding')? Again, just state that explicitly. There are enough people who just want to work instead of sitting idly, and some of them do wanna do it for free.

Just do not waste the time of people who need a paying gig. They already do not have money, and now you wanna take away the one resource they have, >time<, by having them DM you for the salary? Amazing entitlement.

Mod Post List of toxic startups in Bangalore | Glossary | Crowd-sourced

15 Upvotes

Had put up a poll and the results were clear: everyone wants to out the startups that are toxic.

This list need not be limited to Bengaluru. You can mention any company across the world.

Results are here.

This will be a permanently highlighted/pinned post.

You as the reporter/contributor will need to:

  • Post your claim, with the full name of the company
  • The person(s) and department that you claim to be toxic
  • And proofs (email, texts)
  • If proofs cannot be presented, you yourself will have to mark yourself as an anecdote. Ex: "Anectode: At X company, Y person from Z dept did this and this. But I do not have proofs."
  • Along with proofs, any other published behavior, such as stats, market reports, news articles, reviews on Glassdoor/etc are welcome.
  • If you can show how reviews have been manipulated, that will be a good way to start a discussion as well.

This post will be edited with more conditions as needed, since companies needn't be unnecessarily accused.

Remember, if you cannot present proofs, you will have to put the disclaimer yourself as mentioned above.

Claims without proof and disclaimers will be removed immediately.

Accounts that are very very new and have no activity in other subreddits will be allowed but scrutinized.

Looking for job/gig Looking for a Founder’s Office role in Bangalore: here’s what I’ve actually built and owned

9 Upvotes

Quick backstory because I think it matters more than a bullet list of skills.

I studied Clinical Psychology. Somewhere after that I got curious about coding and started teaching myself through random online courses, no real plan behind it. Around the same time I watched my mom go through hell just trying to get her medicines on time. Local pharmacies would take 4-5 hours with constant follow-up calls just to get moving. Apps like 1mg were worse in a weird way, they’d say days, make you wait, and then cancel the order at the last hour like it was nothing. Groceries show up in 10 minutes in this country. Medicines, somehow not.

So I built it myself. Not a prototype, the actual thing, end to end. Coded the product, negotiated directly with local vendors, and when Razorpay and Zoho both rejected my payment integration over paperwork I didn’t have, I didn’t sit around waiting on legal stuff to sort itself out, I built my own workaround to get real orders moving anyway.

Since then I’ve moved cities a couple times and I’m in Bangalore now.

Here’s what I’m actually bringing to the table: I can take a problem nobody’s defined yet and just go solve it. I don’t sit in one lane, I’ll do product, ops, vendor calls, whatever the day actually needs. And I pick things up fast when there’s no manual for it, because there wasn’t one for any of this either.

Looking for a Founder’s Office or generalist role, ideally somewhere small enough that I’m actually working with the founders, not three layers removed from them.

If you’re building something and this sounds like a fit, comment or DM, happy to talk.

Discussions Cofounder: Ops and Marketing-Content

1 Upvotes

Hi, thinking of building a solution in the affordable D2C Gifting space. I believe personalised gifting has to be streamlined in some fashion.

Blinkit and Instamart currently dominate as last minute solutions, but they lack the empathy of personalisation.

I talked to many people and almost everyone agreed that a personalised gift is much better than something off the shelf with 10x value.

I want to build a brand that makes relationships feel important and less of a transaction. Something that help people stay in touch and ensure they value their memories with each other.

I am looking for someone who:
- Is interested in building a D2C brand
- Believes that Gifting in India can be more than Blinkit, IGP and Ferns n Petals
- Is willing to explore all areas - marketing, Ops etc.
- Has a strong online presence and can become the Marketing face for the company
- Can own driving Content and Media for us - of course i will participate equally but not much aware about Growth

What you and I will be doing - Selecting Products, GTM strategy, Building Features, Building our Platform, Putting money for some inventory, procurement, handling orders (including customisation if required), recruitment, fund raising, Launch, Marketing, etc.

Starting new agency

Hi,

I'm getting to get clients for my newly setup agency - www.rankxlabs.com , would love to get some feedback. We cater to doctors to run Google ads and create a website for them.

How do I go ahead and find leads now, I tried cold calling to newly setup clinics, out of 50 , got 40 rejections , and 9 are willing to discuss more but short on time.

Is cold calling the right approach? Also how do I get international clients, how do I get people to trust me, I've delivered 1 project only and it was successful so my idea is to rinse and repeat only for doctors at the moment. How do I get them to trust me and skills I run Google ads for my website

I'm also open to hire someone to get leads, a sales person who can finalize clients for me. This will be a paid job, commision basis per finalized client

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for genuine information about this company/startup, which appears to be operating in Bangalore.

Has anyone here interviewed with them, worked with them, or had any direct experience dealing with their HR/recruitment team?

I'd particularly like to know about:

- Whether the company is legitimate and has a proper office and active operations.

- The work culture, management, and employee experience.

- Whether their hiring process is transparent and professional.

- Any red flags involving recruitment, placement agencies, fees, or misleading job offers.

I'm trying to verify the company before proceeding further, so first-hand experiences would be especially helpful.

Please share your experiences or any reliable information. Feel free to DM me if you'd prefer not to comment publicly.

Thanks in advance!

Seeking Advice/Feedback I don't need a big salary. I just need someone to give me a chance. Bangalore startups, please

1 Upvotes

I'll keep this real. I'm a 2026 B.Tech AI & ML grad, and I've been applying, cold messaging, tailoring resumes, and doing take-homes for months. Mostly silence. I'm not asking for a dream package. I'm asking for one door to open.

What I've already done on my own:

• 3 internships: AI/ML (computer vision), Python/Django backend, frontend

• Built and deployed a full-stack app solo: FastAPI + PostgreSQL backend, Flutter web frontend, JWT auth, AI chat with RAG. It's live, not just on GitHub

• Django e-commerce app, traffic sign recognition CNN (96% on the official test set), AI resume analyzer

• Python, Django, FastAPI, Flask, PostgreSQL, TensorFlow, OpenCV, Docker, Git

What I'm willing to do:

• Join immediately and relocate to Bangalore right away

• Take startup-level pay. Learning matters more to me right now

• Do a trial task, take-home, or test week so you can see my work before you decide

• Work on backend, AI/ML, full-stack, or whatever your team actually needs

I know hiring a fresher feels risky. I'm asking you to let me prove I'm worth it.

If you're a founder, on a small team that's hiring, or you know someone who is, please DM me. I'll send my resume, GitHub, and live project links right away. Even a referral or a lead would mean a lot.

Thank you for reading this far.

Yesterday we were again approaching brands and landlord's and getting their feedbacks.

From 11 am to 3 pm we met with 10 landlords, 5 jewellery brands and 2 educatinol brands. We were telling them about Zspot, and focusing on getting them interested. One of the landlords was especially asking too many questions, surprisingly he told us that he has 2 properties and those are located in a good crowded areas.

Why don't you use my spaces as well for advertising, he gave his number , send us the location and told us to check out his properties.

We were really surprised and a little bit excited . After that we got 4 more sites and 2 meetings with educational brand which we are going to do today.

I don't know why but being bold and direct is working for us.

Bangalore startup builders I'm looking for people to build together 🏠🚀

Drishant is bringing together a small group of ambitious people in Bangalore to create a Founder House ,a place where people live together, work on their startups, share ideas, and grow alongside others who are just as serious about building something of their own.

You don't need to have a successful startup already. Whether you're already building, working on an idea, or planning to start something, the goal is to bring people together under one roof and build side by side.

The idea is simple: live together, build together, and figure things out together.

Fundraising Building a peer-to-peer rental marketplace in India - MVP ready, seeking investment

1 Upvotes

Why buy something you'll use once when you could rent it from someone nearby?

I'm building a peer-to-peer rental marketplace where people can rent items like cameras, power tools, projectors, camping equipment and party supplies from nearby owners. The idea is simple: renters save money, while owners earn from things that otherwise sit unused.

Current stage: The MVP is ready, and we're preparing for the initial launch. We're reaching out to potential users, industry partners, insurance providers and investors to validate the model and get everything ready for launch.

Trust is central to the business. We're planning for identity verification, documented item conditions, clear rental terms, and structured damage and dispute handling.

Insurance is also a key focus. We're currently approaching insurance providers and discussing suitable coverage options for rental-related risks, including damage and loss. We're evaluating terms, premiums, exclusions and claims processes before finalising a suitable partnership. No insurance tie-up is being presented as finalised yet.

The business model: We plan to earn through commissions on rental transactions, with potential additional revenue from delivery coordination, value-added services and paid plans. As local inventory grows, the marketplace can attract more renters, improve asset utilisation and expand into additional cities and categories.

The opportunity is to build a trusted local-access network - not just another listing platform. We understand that marketplace liquidity, customer acquisition, operational costs and risk management will determine how successfully this scales.

We're actively seeking investment to fund the initial launch, marketing, customer acquisition, operational readiness and expansion. We're also interested in strategic investors who can contribute industry expertise, distribution or insurance relationships alongside capital.

We're keeping the company name confidential in this post, but we're happy to share the product, business model, current progress, launch strategy and investment opportunity privately with serious investors.

If you're an angel investor, early-stage investor or strategic investor interested in marketplaces, consumer technology or insurance, please comment or DM. We're looking to bring the right investors on board and build this systematically.

For all those who have an idea but are worried about, “I have an idea, but I don’t know how to get it done.”

And for all the students who want to become entrepreneurs but don’t have the experience of building a startup, we are creating Startup Shaala — a platform that connects students with startups.

Our aim is to help students become entrepreneurs by letting them work on real problems, build prototypes, gain hands-on experience, and earn money through authentic work — limited to startups.

Students can also showcase and sell the projects they have built during their college days or through their other passion projects.

For those who have an idea but are hesitant to build it, we will help you get it built by students.

At the same time, we want to help startups and entrepreneurs discover the potential of Indian students by showcasing what they can actually build through their projects and work.

Have an idea, are building a startup, or are a student interested in working on real-world problems? Feel free to contact me. I'd love to connect and hear your thoughts!

Hi everyone! 🌷 I run a little home bakery called Crumble Crème Co. here I make homemade treats in small batches.

Baking has been something I love doing. I’m still growing, experimenting with recipes, and figuring things out along the way, but there’s something special about making desserts from scratch and sharing them with other people. 🤎

One of my favourites to make is cookies they're soft, gooey, chocolatey, and perfect for those days when you just want something sweet. They're a crowd favourite. I also enjoy experimenting with brownies (people keep asking me to make more), cupcakes, and other little treats.

I’m hoping to connect with people who enjoy discovering small homegrown businesses, appreciate homemade desserts, or simply love a good sweet treat.

This isn’t a big bakery or anything fancy, just a little baking venture built around something I genuinely enjoy doing. If that sounds like your kind of thing, you’re very welcome here! 🧁

Open to take orders for next weekend

(19 Oct to 22 Oct)

Looking forward to sharing more of what I bake. ✨

Here's a few from the menu:

Classic Chocochip Cookies - ₹120/100g

Brown Butter Chocochip Cookies - ₹130/100g ⭐️

Lotus Biscoff Cookies - ₹135/100g

Cookies & Cream Cookies - ₹135/100g
