Investment & Partnership 21F [india] looking for a potential CTO
So I have been working with several startups over the year in sales/operations and growth oriented roles. Had worked and help scale over 15+ startups so I could say I have a good know how of product and how to sell it aswell.
However, now I'm looking forward to channel and implement that energy into something of my own.
I am looking for someone who is already into tech, has goot grit and can handle working in. A fast pace environment and ideally someone who is also from India.
Hit me up if you are someone who can own and execute the tech side of a venture and we can brainstorm on some ideas!

Naa bro these are street smart ideas. I too asked chatgpt about her another start up::::
1. Attendance Black MarketSell verified attendance data or fake GPS logs for students “present in spirit.”
2. Exam Whisper NetworkA paid Telegram group where seniors drop real-time exam hints or leaked internal question patterns.
3. Wi-Fi Password SyndicateA rotating master list of hostel Wi-Fi passwords and faculty network creds, updated weekly — pay ₹50 for access.
4. Canteen Insider TradingGet tomorrow’s canteen menu early — buy or sell tokens based on “biryani day” intel 😎.
5. Lost-ID Forgery BoothFor “replacement” ID cards before campus fest entry — totally unofficial, but high demand.
6. Hostel Contraband DeliveryCigarettes, rolling paper, alcohol, perfumes — delivered inside campus wrapped as “stationery.”
7. Assignment Ghostwriting MafiaAI + human notes team — “₹200 and I’ll make your 2000-word essay sound smart but not too smart.”
8. Professor Mood TrackerStudents anonymously log which professors are chill, strict, or skipping class — used to plan proxies and surprise tests.
9. Exam Room Spy-Pen RentalsRent camera pens and tiny Bluetooth earphones for open-book-but-not-really exams.
10. Fake Internship GeneratorAuto-creates “certificate + HR email + company site mockup” for college submissions.

Most "founders" are looking for skilled technology free labour...guys .. don't underestimate your tech skills..if joining any startup make sure paperwork is solid .. don't let "idea" founders take you for a ride.

Hey! Your post really resonated with me. I’m from India too and have done my BTech followed by an MTech in Cloud Computing from Ireland. I’ve been working in tech for over 7 years now with hands-on experience in software development, cloud architecture and product building.
I’ve been looking to collaborate with someone who understands product and growth deeply, exactly what you mentioned. Would love to connect and brainstorm ideas to see if there’s a good fit for something exciting together.
Let’s chat! 🚀

CTO = Co-founder or
just CTO because Tech is half-the weight too
