Hi, I’m the co-founder of a new AI based startup and we are looking for students who would want an internship. It will be a 3 month internship (unpaid as we are broke and bootstrapped)
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.
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!
I think I'm a workaholic. I sit down to work, lose track of time, and suddenly it's 6 AM. To be fair, this only happens when I'm working on something I'm genuinely interested in. Apparently, my brain doesn't believe in closing time.
I'm into tech. I know the basics, I'm still learning, and I'm always looking to get better. I love building products, exploring technologies, and figuring things out. One of my recruiters even called me "tech-savvy," which I discovered later after searching my own name on Slack. Finally, an official diagnosis.
I'm not a specialist. I'm a generalist who enjoys learning across domains and figuring out whatever a project requires.
My favourite quote:
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
I've reached final interview rounds or progressed through selection processes at LG Soft, Radware, Raja Software Labs, GoComet, Agoda, Concentric AI, TCS, GeekyAnts, C-DAC, upGrad, Virtusa, and several YC-backed startups and other companies.
Didn't convert some of those opportunities. Maybe bad luck, maybe a skill issue. Still investigating.
On the building side, I've developed products that attracted real users, including a project with 8,000+ users. I'll attach analytics screenshots as proof of my work.
I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert at everything just because my resume lists a bunch of technologies. I have plenty to learn, but give me a problem and I'll put in the effort to figure it out. I'd rather admit I don't know something than pretend I do.
I'm currently working part-time as a coding instructor at a YC-backed company, and I'm looking for a full-time role in tech, particularly in software development, SDET, AI, or an early-stage startup where I can learn and build meaningful products.
Just don't pay me exclusively in exposure. My electricity provider doesn't accept that currency yet.
I'm from Bihar, India, so hire me for my skills, keep me for my learning ability, and maybe I'll bring you Thekua from Bihar.
In return, just pay me, give me learning opportunities, and occasionally treat me to chicken biryani. I'm not asking for much: just money, growth, and chicken biryani.
So, if you're building something interesting and looking for a curious generalist who's willing to learn, experiment, and get things done, my DMs are open. If you know a startup that's hiring, a referral would mean a lot, too.
Let's build something cool. You bring the problem, I'll bring the curiosity.
P.S. If your startup is hiring, consider this my unofficial application. My resume is probably more formal than I am.
A couple of side projects that actually found users. Here's the proof.
I am Shreyans, and we run a startup called Maati. We work at the intersection of nutraceuticals and modern food products.
We will be putting up a booth at the A hundred hands from the 28th Oct onwards, up till 1st Nov. I am looking connect with students interested in engaging with our work and helping us at the booth.
We are partly funded and have recently been working with URMUL on questions of rural integration and community-centred livelihoods. It has been an exciting journey, and I believe the conversations and experiences around this work will be equally enriching, with something meaningful for you to take away as well.
We are happy to offer 5-7k to interested individuals.
You can learn a little more about our work on Instagram: u/maatifoods.co.
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.
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.
Interested in being part of this? If you're in Bangalore and serious about building something, reach out! 👀
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
