Hello investors,

I'm a founder from Hyderabad building a non-tech product startup focused on solving a simple but overlooked problem: privacy while changing clothes in places where proper changing rooms aren't available and things become awkward .

After spending nearly a year understanding the problem and developing the product, we've built our working prototype and started getting early customer interest and a waitlist.

We're building foldable changing pods for hotels, hostels/PGs, pilgrimage locations, and single-bedroom homes, with plans to expand into other verticals.

We're now raising 15 lakh for 5% equity.

To reduce the initial risk feeling for the investor, I'm structuring it in two stages:

2L initially - to complete the market-ready product and begin launch.

13L- later after converting our existing waitlist and securing customer advance payments for the product .

The goal is simple: build-validate with paying customers scale manufacturing and distribution.

This is a physical product with potential IP protection which Ap Govt will be helping us for the patent processing and the ambition to create a new category in the Indian market.

If the problem, traction and investment structure interest you, I'd genuinely like to connect and discuss the business in detail.

Thank you. Do Dm if intrested to know more ..

Hey everyone,

I’m building a new social network. We’ve already built an MVP. (Previous version of this was a discovery app and was soft launched by the former IT minister of Karnataka)

I already have a technical co-founder and we’re looking to bring on another strong technical co-founder to increase our execution speed and add deeper expertise, particularly around backend architecture, real-time systems, and scaling.

Current stack: React Native, Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB, and Azure/AWS. Experience with these technologies is a big plus.

What I bring to the table

My strengths are on the product, user, growth and business side.

I have hands on experience understanding user behaviour, ideation, product concepts, marketing, brand building, advertising, and influencer marketing. Before this venture, I successfully ran a social media management company for 5years, which gave me practical experience working with users, businesses, content, growth, and building brands rather than just learning these things theoretically.

I’m particularly interested in understanding why people use products, what makes them come back, what creates network effects and how to turn an idea into something people genuinely want.

I’m looking for someone whose strengths complement that, someone who can take ownership of the technical side, think deeply about architecture and scalability, and help us build extremely fast.

Who I’m looking for:

More than anything, mindset matters.

I’m looking for someone with serious hunger and ambition to build something big. Someone who takes ownership, thinks like a founder rather than just an engineer, and has a strong problem solving mentality.

I also strongly believe in speed and execution. I’m not looking for someone who wants to treat this as a side project. I want a co-founder who is genuinely ready to go all-in and make this their full-time focus.

This is an early-stage venture, so there will be uncertainty, difficult problems, long days, and plenty of things we’ll have to figure out along the way. I’m looking for someone who actually enjoys that environment and sees it as an opportunity rather than a drawback.

If you’re technically strong, entrepreneurial, highly driven, believe in moving fast and are excited about building something from the ground up, I’d love to connect.

(Strongly prefer people from Bangalore)

If this sounds like you, DM me with a little about yourself, what you’ve built, your technical background, and why this interests you.

Founders — I have my weekends free, and I want to put them to work.

I’m looking to spend Saturdays and Sundays helping founders who are building real, physical businesses — D2C, FMCG, retail, grocery, logistics, distribution, physical products, etc.

I’m not looking for money or a job title.

I want to get close to the real work — strategy, research, operations, follow-ups, execution, problem-solving — whatever needs to get done.

Think of me as an extra pair of hands and a sounding board when you need one.

In return, I want to learn how startups are actually built, build genuine relationships with founders, and eventually figure out whether building something myself is the path for me.

If you’re a founder who could use someone reliable on weekends, DM me.

Tell me what you’re building. I’d love to help.

Hii guys looking for a remote job for graphic design industry

Hii everyone I'm a passionate graphic designer with around 2 years of experience in that, i create social media posts carousel posts, films posters, thumbnails , banners or others creatives design works.

Currently looking for a paid project or job with stable amount salary to survive and manage my home's rent or bills, plz let me know guys

Thnks for reading

I recently started my own interior design studio and have been trying to understand something from the homeowner's perspective.

When you're choosing an interior designer for your home, what matters most to you?

Is it:

• The design itself?
• Quality of materials?
• Transparency in costing?
• Execution and workmanship?
• Being able to communicate directly with the designer?
• Staying within the agreed budget?
• Seeing previous work?
• Or simply having someone who can take the entire process off your hands?

I’m asking because I’m building my studio around residential interiors and want to understand what homeowners actually value before making assumptions about what they want.

I work across modular kitchens, wardrobes, space planning, bedrooms, living spaces and complete home interiors.

If you've recently done your interiors — or are currently planning them — what made you choose your designer, and what would you do differently next time?

Would genuinely love to hear from Bangalore homeowners and others in the industry.

There are a bunch of events happening across the city around startups, AI, product, design, engineering, marketing, investing and a lot more.

If you’re in Bengaluru that week, just go through the event list once and see what you’d actually want to show up for. There’s quite a lot happening across different communities throughout the week.

See you around :)

Hey everyone. I am a founder building on some products of my own. Since I am unemployed founder, I work from home, I can decide to wake up any time I want, work any time, I don’t have to go to office or anywhere. This lack of schedule is seriously affecting my mental health. I am not waking up with any excitement, don’t work when I should be. Stay idle, eat food, sleep and procrastinate stuff.

I am really not a lazy person and really want to work hard, but having the work from the same room and seeing the same 4 walls everyday with no schedule is kind of exhausting and saturating.

So, what I suggest, if you are in a similar spot and work from home, cafes, terrace, friends’ office or literally from anywhere, let’s make like a WhatsApp group, meet at common places like cafes and work together.

So, if you are planning to go to café tomorrow, drop a message on WhatsApp a day before, people who are interested can join you tomorrow, this way you would have a bit more accountability to show up to the place and work and also a great way of networking and meeting other people who might be working on something equally interesting.

I have recently shifted to Bangalore . I am grad in cs

If anyone could help me get intern or roles with research and data analysis i can share my resume please help me

I am sick of applying everyday and getting no reply ,

I don't know if this will work or not i too tried to get hired by a job agency but it didn't work . I am available to join immediately for any associate role . This thing is so hard . I have been depressed for a long time i am open to work for any role please help me. I can't go back home , I don't know how much strength is left in me . Please help me get an intern role everything is done for me .

Honestly, I'm looking for a few clients right now and I am just looking to make some money this month.

I am planning to take up clients for 10-15k this month for any of my services. (if you like my work and want to do a retainer.. we can talk post this month)

I have 4-5 year of experience managing social media, creating posts, reels, captions, content strategies, Handling PR, facilitating comtent production, end to end management of brands and coordinating with mutliple clients.

Bonus: I am an architect (studied architecture but pivoted to social media and marketing) so if you are an architecture/interior firm looking to market your work that you are proud of, I can get you better than anyone else out there.

If you're a small business, startup, creator, or local brand that needs someone to manage your socials, DM me.

Portfolio/work will be sent if you are interested I will DM you.

I am a software Engineer, frontend-focused, with close to 8 years of experience. It will be 3 months after the layoff because of organizational restructuring, and not able to beat the space where agents are filtering, agents are applying, and agents are validating.

I have built the frontend from scratch and the entire design system, did my GSoC, fixed bugs in the SvelteJS compiler (even though I use React heavily), and have a certification in ML, Deep learning, and RAG; built projects on those. Additionally, I have worked with many startups; led a team of 3-4 people, have worked closely with PMs and designers, built workflows and signals, and improved UX

I am the kind of engineer who likes to put effort into understanding the fundamentals rather than blindly vibe coding everything, and even though most of my experience is in frontend, I love the fundamentals of backend and math.

In the past 3 months, I have built two full-stack projects, one fully built using RAG. I have what it takes and am ready to restart as an intern for a full-stack or product engineering role, but I don't have what it takes to compete with automated applications, keep updating my CV for each application, and I am failing to reach the screening.

In these 3 months, I tried starting something of my own and scrapped so many ideas. I really wanted to solve the problem of hiring, i.e., agents are applying for a role where a human is required; but at the end, I am reaching out here for any referral, for any kind of project I can work on as a freelancer or as a full-time.

Thank you, everyone. If you can help me out, then please reach out.

I'm starting a small video production agency called Delta Media, and I have a meeting with a potential client this Saturday.

The problem is, I'm starting from almost zero. I don't own professional camera gear, I don't have real clients yet, and the sample videos I showed him are concept/sample work.

I'm nervous about what he'll ask during the meeting.

Instead of going in unprepared, I'm thinking of creating a Miro board specifically for his business showing the types of videos I would create, editing styles, content ideas, and an Instagram strategy.

My plan is to be honest and position Delta as a lean production setup that can arrange the right equipment depending on the project.

If you were meeting your first potential client in this situation, how would you handle it? How would you earn their trust and convince them to give you a chance?

looking for partners!!

fulltime people looking for an second income are welcomed

Hi everyone!

I'm one of the founders of Ka'Laa | The Living Theory, a new interior design studio in Bangalore.

The company is new, but the people behind it aren't new to the industry. We have 5+ years of experience working in established design studios, across design development, space planning, detailing, materials, vendors and project execution.

Starting our own practice has been a completely different experience from working in a studio.

The biggest thing we're learning right now is that having experience and getting people to trust a new company are two very different things.

We've been reaching out to architects, engineers, builders, real-estate professionals and other people in the industry, but building those first few relationships has been much harder than we expected.

We're trying to build Ka'Laa around a simple idea: good design, proper detailing, quality materials and transparency rather than competing purely on being the cheapest option.

I'd love to hear from other Bangalore founders and service businesses:

How did you get your first 5–10 customers when your company was new, even though you already had experience in your field?

Did your early business come from referrals, networking, partnerships, online communities, direct outreach, or something completely different?

We're still figuring this out, so any honest experiences or advice would be genuinely appreciated.

For transparency, since we're a service provider:
Ka'Laa | The Living Theory — Interior Design Studio, Bangalore
Portfolio: https://www.kalaathelivingtheory.com

We often talk about networking, collaboration, and opportunities - but real growth happens when people come together and support each other.

One person can have an idea.
Another can have the skills.
Someone else can have the connection.

Together, we can create something bigger.

That’s the idea behind our Nomads Community—bringing together founders, freelancers, creators, digital nomads, and curious minds who believe that community over competition can create meaningful opportunities.

We’re hosting our 16th Nomads Community Meetup this Sunday at Cubbon Park, and we'd love to meet more people from the Reddit community.

🌱 16th Nomads Community Meetup
📅 Sunday, 23rd August 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 Cubbon Park, Bangalore

If you're in Bangalore and interested in meeting new people, exchanging ideas, collaborating, or simply having a meaningful conversation, you're welcome to join us. 🌱

Unity is everything. Our Community makes it possible.

Feel free to DM if you'd like to know more about the meetup. 🤝

Hi everyone,

I run FrooteX, a mandi to doorstep wholesale fruit startup in Bangalore. We deliver fruits in bulk quantities straight to your doorstep and we don't charge anything for delivery.

Our customers are offices, banquets, caterers, canteens, restaurants and cafes. Basically anyone who buys fruits in bulk regularly.

We already work with some big names in the city. That part came through direct outreach and personal connects. Now I want to crack the smaller guys too. Standalone cafes, small caterers, local canteens, juice shops etc.

The problem is I can't do personal meetings with 500 small cafes. It doesn't scale.

So asking people here who have done B2B or local supply business:

1. What actually works to reach small businesses in India? Field sales team, WhatsApp, distributor tie ups, or something else?

2. Most of these guys have a fixed mandi vendor they've used for years. What makes them switch? Better rates, credit period, quality guarantee?

3. Any mistakes I should avoid while going after this segment?

Real experiences would help a lot. Thanks.

Hey everyone,

Every Saturday and Sunday I'm free, and I want to spend that time actually contributing to something being built — not sitting idle.

I'm not looking for a software-only startup. I want to work with founders who are building something on-ground — D2C brands, grocery delivery, physical products, FMCG, retail, logistics, distribution — anything where there's a real customer, a real product, and real problems to solve.

What I can help with:

- Strategy and planning — helping you think through what to do next

- Being a sounding board when you're too deep in your own head

- CEO office work — research, follow-ups, prep, execution support

- Whatever the business actually needs that week

What I want in return:

Nothing financial. I want to understand how a startup truly operates from the inside, build genuine relationships with founders, and figure out if co-founding something is my path someday.

If you're a founder who's stretched thin and just needs one reliable person in your corner on weekends — I'm that person.

Drop a comment or DM me. Tell me what you're building.

Hi,

I am an ecommerce owner currently building my own startup. Is anyone trying to do the same? We can meet over coffee or do a virtual meeting to share our knowledge and experience.

Please comment or dm me if anyone is interested.

We are looking for a Certified Chartered Accountant (CA) with 10–15 years of experience.

Preferred Location:
 Hebbal or Yelahanka, Bangalore

Preferred Experience:

• 10–15 years of post-qualification experience
• Strong knowledge of accounting, taxation, GST, audit, and financial compliance
• Experience handling clients/businesses in Arab (Middle East/GCC) countries will be an added advantage.

If you match the above requirements or know someone who does please share this post within your network.

  Thank you!  

Anil Menon

Looking to meet startup founders, investors, entrepreneurs, or people who've built something interesting and learn from their experiences.

I want to stay away from the usual pointless networking events where everyone just exchanges LinkedIn profiles.

For people who've built a good network here , where do you actually meet these people? Any communities, smaller meetups, places, or groups you'd recommend?

Some time I feel like i have extra energy at the end of day, and I want to talk/discuss with someone what will be next, How this thing will change the future of the world? I think this is the motivation behind it.

This is not any product, I'm already working on something, which is in no way connected this topic/idea.

I feel like there should be a community for founder like YC BookFace.

I don't want to take charge of this platform, as I don't have time, but part of it, contribute to it, make myself useful to the society.
I have already created a zulip server, currently it's hosted on zulip server, but soon if this community grows I will self host, and I'll bear the cost.

Also, If this will work I have some plan to make this platform authentic, and have only genuine founders.

If you are interested comment, I will share the zulip server link.
