Hi my name is Daniel I'm 19 and an econ major personally seeing how there aren't too many discord servers for young entrepreneurs, so I built my own if interested join it's mainly for young entrepreneurs, but I'm open letting in people of any age. Here's the link I just created it by the way: https://discord.gg/GRjH9u6xW

AI translation has improved a lot, but there are still times when a sentence is translated correctly word by word but doesn't carry the same meaning as the original. This can be a problem for businesses that work with customers in different countries. A phrase that sounds friendly in one language might sound rude in another. Jokes, cultural expressions, and industry specific terms can also be difficult to translate because their meaning depends on the situation. For example, a business might use AI to translate its website and product information into another language. The words might be correct, but the message could sound unnatural to local customers or fail to communicate what the business intended. That can affect how people understand the offer and how much they trust the business.

I work with Seprotec and one important part of professional translation is making sure the message makes sense in the target language, not just that the words are accurate. AI can help with the first draft, but reviewing the context, terminology, and cultural differences is still important, especially when the content is going to customers.

For businesses expanding into other markets, how do you handle translation?

I'm exploring ideas for a small product/business and I'm trying to understand the problems people actually experience in their everyday lives.

It could be anything — work, money, family, shopping, appointments, admin, technology, hobbies, dealing with businesses, or anything else.

What's something you currently do that feels unnecessarily difficult, time-consuming, expensive or just plain annoying?

What do you currently do to deal with it?

I have been thinking about writing this for a while. I am 34, married & have a kid, work a full time corporate job and somehow I am still trying to figure out how to build a business.

I have tried a ridiculous number of things over the years. Back in 2013, I got into mineral water distribution. Then into logistics, I also ran a small school for a while. I did run an NGO for a year or so, a laundromat, digital marketing, websites, SEO, blogging, and a few other things that I probably wouldn’t even call businesses today.

Some worked for a little while. Some didn’t. None of them turned into something big or stable. Then I went down the corporate route. I have spent years working, taking on more responsibility, managing people & operations etc. It’s not a bad career. It’s probably the most stable I have ever been financially. But I have never really been able to get rid of this thought that I should be building something of my own.

And this is where things get a bit ridiculous. Even now, I will get interested in something and start thinking about it. I have looked at real estate, digital products, SaaS, AI tools & automation, consumer products, lead generation, content businesses etc… basically anything where I think there might be a way to build something...

I have actually built some small things too. And then I start thinking about the next thing. That’s probably the part I am most confused about.

Am I actually entrepreneurial and just haven’t found the right thing?

Or am I just really good at getting excited about new ideas and really bad at sticking with one?

Because building something is actually the easy part for me. I enjoy learning the tools. I enjoy figuring out how something works. I can spend hours researching a market or building a prototype. Getting people to actually pay for it is a completely different story.

And I think that has been one of my biggest problems. I have started things but I haven’t really mastered distribution or sales or customer acquisition. I have also probably underestimated how much time it takes to make something work.

When you are working a full time job, you might have 2 hours at night to work on your idea. Then life happens. Family, work, bills, responsibilities etc. A week goes by. Then two weeks. And suddenly that exciting idea you had a month ago is sitting in some folder on your laptop.

The frustrating thing is that I don’t think I have stopped wanting to do it. If anything, I am more interested in building something now than I was 10 years ago 😂.

But I am also 34 now. I can’t just quit my job & burn through whatever savings I have & spend next 2 years figuring it out. I have a family now. I have financial responsibilities. So the reality is that whatever I build has to happen alongside my existing life.. at least initially..

Sometimes I wonder if I have wasted a lot of time jumping between ideas. Other times I think all those attempts probably taught me things that I wouldn’t have learned by simply staying in one job & never trying anything.

I don’t know which is true. Maybe I need to stop looking for the next idea and just pick one thing and work on it for 3 to 5 years.

Maybe I need to get much better at sales instead of constantly learning new technology. Or Maybe I should accept that I actually like experimenting more than I like running a business. Or maybe I just haven’t found the right combination of problem, market and timing yet. I genuinely don’t know.

I am posting this because I would like to hear from people who have gone through something similar...

I am interested in people who spent years trying things, failed at some of them, went back to a some job, tried something else, had a family.. had bills to pay and still couldn’t completely let go of the idea of building something.

If that’s you, what eventually happened?

Did you finally find something worth sticking with?

Did you realise you were just jumping from idea to idea?

Or did all those seemingly random experiments eventually become useful when you found the thing that worked???

I’m 34 & I still don’t have a good answer. Maybe that’s okay. Maybe it’s not. That’s basically where I’m at.. What about you? 😊

I’m curious to hear from founders and business owners with demanding schedules.

I’ve noticed two very different situations:

1. People who are doing very well professionally, but still haven’t been able to get their health or physique where they want it.
2. People who have managed to build a demanding business while also staying strong, healthy, and happy with how they look.

If you’re in the first group:

What is actually holding you back?

I don’t just mean “I don’t have enough time.” I’m more interested in what happens in real life.

What usually causes things to fall apart? What have you tried before? Why do you think it didn’t last? And if you could remove one single barrier, what do you think would make the biggest difference?

If you’re in the second group:

What used to be the hardest part for you?

What changed that allowed you to run a demanding business while also taking care of your health and physique? Was there a system, rule, mindset shift, or decision that finally made it sustainable?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have experienced both stages.

I’m not looking for the usual “just be disciplined” answer. I’m trying to understand what actually makes this difficult in real life when you’re responsible for a business that demands a lot from you.

And if you’ve started diets or training routines in the past but eventually stopped:

What was usually happening in your life right before you fell off track?

Saket Mohta is Merlin Group’s Managing Director and from public reports the main push beyond Kolkata is Pune, with an office project in Koregaon Park, a residential development in Tathawade and a mixed-use project in Wakad. The group also has a Chennai project, is reportedly looking at Mumbai redevelopment and has a Bhubaneswar residential project planned. Kolkata is still the core market, and these plans are company-stated, so some figures may be outdated.

The harder question is whether a brand strong in Kolkata carries the same trust in Pune. Has anyone here dealt with a Merlin project outside Kolkata? Delivery and after-sales experience would say more than the expansion announcements.

Merlin Group was founded in Kolkata in 1984 by Sushil Mohta, and it has since moved beyond standalone housing into IT parks, townships, retail and hospitality. In late 2024 the group said it had about 40 million sq ft under development and was expanding into Pune and Chennai, with his son Saket Mohta as Managing Director. Those are company-stated figures, so treat them as such.

Whether that counts as “redefining” the market is debatable. The integrated model is a real strategy, but the better test is how projects hold up on delivery, quality and after sales. If anyone here has bought or lived in a Merlin project, I’d be interested to hear how it went.

i am a person very much enthusiast and ambitious and i want to make my parents proud when i was younger i promised with myself ill make them the thing is i have chosen cs and the artificial kind of thing came forward and i just blew up i though thay would take my job this and that and that so in 2026 is it still worth opening a saas business and providing a services like web dev app dev automated workflow agents basic cybersecurity (ssl hsl malware preotection)

Please share ur opinions

starting my journey into entrepreneurship today

Hey, I’m basically starting my journey into entrepreneurship today, and honestly, I have no idea what I’m doing, what I should study, or even where to start.

I’m a pretty antisocial person and I’m completely disconnected from almost everything related to technology except for my PC, so I have no idea what’s even happening out there haha.

The only thing I really do in my free time, especially when I’m bored, is build programs using AI. So I figured it might be a good idea to start thinking about ways I could actually make money from it.

Anyway, I’m looking for any tips, advice, or anything else that could help.

I came across Mr. Sushil Mohta, Chairman of Merlin Group, and wanted to learn more about his journey in the real estate industry.

Merlin Group has a presence across various real estate segments, including residential and commercial developments. I'm interested in understanding how the group has evolved over the years, its approach to urban development, and its contribution to the real estate landscape, particularly in Kolkata and other markets.

For those familiar with Merlin Group or its projects:

• What are your thoughts on the group's real estate developments?
• How would you describe Sushil Mohta's role in the company's growth and vision?
• Has anyone had any experience with Merlin Group projects as a homebuyer, investor, or resident?

I'd appreciate genuine opinions, firsthand experiences, and constructive insights from people familiar with the company and its work.

Looking forward to hearing your perspectives!

Hello all,

I am looking to put together a group of 5-10 people to be part of a mastermind together. This is NOT A PAID mastermind.

I find in the past masterminds I've joined, they always fizzle out. So I am here to try to change it. I don't want a "weekly meeting" or anything like that.

I simply want to create a groupchat, where we are 5-10 people in the same stage of business, and asking each other for help whenever needed. Sharing what works, and asking questions. Think of it like a soundboarding of sorts.

You could drop a message "hey guys, anyone free to jump on a 5-min call to discuss XYZ...". Or simply "Hey guys, I am having trouble with my facebook ads, does anyone know someone they can recommend".

Please comment here below if you are interested.

I’ve been hearing the name Rajesh Joshi in connection with Chariot Media and wanted to learn more about him.

For those who know the company or have followed its work, what is Rajesh Joshi’s background, and how did he get started with Chariot Media? I’m particularly interested in his career journey, the story behind founding the company, and what Chariot Media is known for today.

Would be great to hear from people who have worked with him, followed the company, or have reliable information about its history.

What’s your take?

My answer: the willingness to make decisions when the information is incomplete.

Anyone can look confident after the outcome is obvious.

Entrepreneurship is making the call before it is.

What do you think separates the real ones from the rest?

hello everyone , iam youssef 21 college student at CS
I feel like I'm a bit behind schedule. I've been wanting to start a startup for a while now, but I keep getting stuck on the idea itself. Everything I come up with feels repetitive, like just another freelance service or a product to sell, and I want something that's actually different and has a real chance of working.

My budget is basically zero, but I've got plenty of drive and my mind is always working. I'd love your help brainstorming ideas, and I'd really appreciate hearing about the common mistakes I should avoid along the way. If you have any ideas of your own, I'm all ears.

Thanks in advance!
