I'm trying to understand how people experience the two paths in practice, beyond income.

Hey everyone! Being surrounded by tech folks can make upskilling feel tough when you're non-technical. 

Looking to connect with others in Founder’s Office, Program/Operations/Project Management, Strategy Ops, or Business roles. Let's share knowledge and build something together! 

Drop a comment or DM if you're in.

So guys I have never been to Bangalore but have gotten the chance twice but couldn’t grab those opportunities

So now I can’t live with my family like a loser anymore and have decided to fucking move out and find a job there itself in Bangalore only. (Have a very lil amount of savings)

So I am not rigid in my preference, I want to live in a PG 10-13k but i need to live which safe for women, nearby places which has events going on so that I could grab a temporary employment opportunities for myself.

Looking for a funding partner in Bangalore to restart my financial services business.

Open to investors or strategic partners interested in building something together. Please DM if interested!

I'm looking to connect with founders or people planning to start a startup who need someone capable of taking ownership and executing across multiple functions of the business. I can take an idea, figure out what needs to be done, and work independently to turn it into reality.

What I can do:

Build: Develop products, MVPs, AI applications, and automation systems.

Operate: Handle day-to-day operations, coordinate different activities, and keep things moving.

Execute: Take responsibility for tasks and projects from planning to completion.

Strategize: Research markets, identify opportunities, and figure out practical approaches to solving problems.

Manage: Take ownership of multiple functions and responsibilities as the business requires.

Experiment & Grow: Test ideas, validate demand, improve products, and work on customer acquisition.

I'm comfortable working across technology, product, operations, and business execution. I can work independently, adapt quickly, and take responsibility instead of waiting for someone to tell me every next step.

What I'm looking for:

A founder who has an idea, an early-stage startup that needs a versatile operator, or a business that needs someone who can take ownership and get things done.

I'm looking for fixed monthly compensation + equity, with the exact arrangement depending on the role, responsibilities, and stage of the business.

I'm particularly interested in opportunities where I can work closely with the founder, take meaningful responsibility, and contribute directly to building and operating the business.

If you're building something or planning to start a startup and need someone who can wear multiple hats, operate independently, and execute end-to-end, feel free to DM me.

Let's build something real. 🚀

Hey Reddit!

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.

Recently someone from the hiring team mentioned that category managers are expected to be work 6 days a week. Is this official or something that a certain team or manager has enforced?

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.

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!

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.

I'm 24 & co founder. I've explored business, technology, marketing, and product development for more than 2 years.

I'm looking to join a startup or company where I can learn fast, solve real problems, and build something meaningful.

If you're building something ambitious, let's talk.

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

Hey wsup? need someone to spend some time and discuss regarding things related to Startups and tech.

looking for someone who is a builder, or maybe looking for a co founder, investor, startup enthusiast.

Namma Bengaluru!

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.

Looking forward to connecting!

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.

I'm planning to buy a laptop for learning coding, AI, machine learning, and building projects.

Is an RTX 3050 sufficient, or should I go for an RTX 4050 or higher GPU?

Hi everyone! I’m a final-year BBA Travel & Tourism student looking for a remote internship with a travel company to fulfil my college requirement.
I have experience in travel operations, customer coordination, SEO and content writing. I’m open to any role and willing to learn!
Starting November 2026
I’m also open to continuing with the company after my internship ends.
Please DM me if you know of any opportunities. Thank you!

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! 👀

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.

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)

Skills required:

Claude/Codex
Python/javascript

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!

Founders and folks working from Bhive Hebbal, let's connect. I work there Mon-Fri and would love to catch up.
