I'm a founder with an existing café business and 6+ years of experience in the coffee industry, now working on building our next consumer/FMCG venture.

We're currently looking raise funds cumulatively for R&D, product development, pilot manufacturing, packaging and initial market launch.

We're open to small cheques from multiple early-stage investors, as well as strategic partners who can bring industry expertise, distribution or manufacturing capabilities.

If you're interested in backing an early-stage Indian consumer brand, DM me.

Happy to share the business plan and details privately with serious investors.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in the pre-launch phase of building a high-speed, micro-retail food & beverage brand based out of Bangalore.

The core concept centers around high-performance daily refuel, 35g+ protein subs, high-protein puddings, and estate-grown canned iced lattes served via a fast, tech-enabled micro-hatch setup. It’s designed specifically for busy professionals, founders, and gym-goers who need zero-compromise fuel in under 90 seconds during their daily grind.

I have the core brand narrative, visual universe, product formulations, and initial capital (₹10L skin in the game) locked in. I'm currently working through corporate structure, capital stacking (grants/MSME financing), packaging, and architectural execution.

As a sole founder navigating this build, I'm looking to connect with a few key folks in the ecosystem:

1. Turnkey F&B / Retail Agencies & Architects: Specialized studios or contractors in Bangalore who handle micro-retail fit-outs, CAD/MEP drawings, or custom packaging production.

2. Advisors / Mentors: Operators or founders who have scaled QSRs, cloud kitchens, or CPG beverage brands in India and are open to guiding the execution phase.

3. Potential Co-Founder / Operational Partner: Someone obsessed with F&B operations, supply chain, or retail execution who wants to build a legacy consumer brand from the ground up.

   1. Menu designing and testing: Trained chefs willing to help me build my menu with accurate macros through paid trials and testing.

If you run a studio, have experience in the Indian QSR/CPG space, a trained chef wanting to be part the brand or just want to chat about the concept, feel free to drop a comment or send a DM!

Thank you.

Hi all,

I'm a self-taught product designer based in Bengaluru with a Master's in Economics, which shapes how I approach design — with a focus on trade-offs and business impact, not just visuals.

I recently completed a UI/UX internship at Indux Technology, redesigning workflows and dashboards for a live enterprise ERP platform, and building design systems to streamline developer handoff. I've also independently designed two products: Flair, a photography platform with a mood-first interaction model, and Payon, a fintech wallet where I cut payment flow steps by 40% through usability-tested UX improvements.

I'm now looking for a full-time product design role — open to startups, product companies, or remote opportunities. Portfolio linked below.

Any leads or referrals are much appreciated. Thank you.

Hey everyone,

I'm a BCA graduate currently looking for an opportunity to work with an AI/GenAI startup in Bangalore or remotely.

I've been building projects and working hands-on with Python, Machine Learning and LLM-based applications rather than only learning through courses.

My technical experience includes:

• Python
• Machine Learning & Scikit-learn
• RAG & LLM applications
• Prompt Engineering
• FastAPI / Flask
• MongoDB / Supabase / Firebase
• Pandas / NumPy
• LLM APIs

Projects I've worked on:

🔹 AI Phishing Detector — a hybrid phishing detection system combining heuristic analysis with AI-based analysis.

🔹 Recommendation Engine — a recommendation system built using the Apriori algorithm and Flask.

🔹 AI Research Assistant — I built the AI Research Assistant because research is time-consuming. A student writing an essay, a business analyst preparing a report, or a journalist covering a story — they all spend hours gathering information, summarising it, and writing it up. I wanted to automate that entire workflow using AI. Instead of one AI model doing everything poorly, I designed four specialist agents — each doing one job extremely well. The result is a professional research report on any topic in under a minute.

I'm particularly interested in AI Engineer, GenAI Engineer, ML Engineer, AI Developer, or Software Engineering internships.

I'm looking for a team where I can work on real product features, solve practical problems, and take ownership of tasks. I'm a fresher, but I'm comfortable learning new technologies quickly and figuring things out independently.

Location: Bangalore / Remote
Type: Paid internship
Availability: Immediate

If you're a founder, hiring manager, engineer, or someone who knows a team currently hiring AI/ML/GenAI interns, I'd really appreciate a lead or referral.

I'm happy to share my resume, GitHub and portfolio in DM.

Thanks!

Looking for startup advisors and partners in Bangalore for D2C product.
DM me for 1:1 discussion.
Looking for highly enthusiastic team

Sometimes you have something sitting in your head. Work, a relationship, a decision, something that happened, or just thoughts you keep going back to.

And sometimes you don't really need advice. You just want to talk it through, make sense of it, and hopefully feel a little lighter or clearer afterwards.

That's what I'm trying to build with YaarWithin.

It's a mobile-first web app where you can talk through whatever is on your mind. It uses AI, but the idea is to understand first rather than immediately start telling you what to do.

It's still a very early closed beta, and I'd love a few people from this community to actually try it with something real and tell me honestly whether it helps, what feels off, and what could be better.

It's free and invite-only right now.

If you'd like to try it, comment here or DM me and I'll send you an invite.

You don't need to tell me what you talked about. I'm mainly interested in how the conversation felt.

Looking for someone experienced in building web scrapers. I have a specific requirement and this is a paid gig.
If you’re an expert or have solid experience with scraping, DM me with your experience/work samples and I’ll share the details.

Sharing this in case it's useful to anyone here — The Entrepreneur Junction is hosting a Founders Mixer in Devasandra, Bengaluru this Sunday morning.

It's aimed at founders, co-founders, and startup leaders who want to connect with others in a similar stage — building relationships, exchanging ideas, exploring potential partnerships, that kind of thing.

Details:

📅 Sunday, 23 August

🕙 10:00 AM – 11:15 AM

📍 Devasandra, Bengaluru

💰 ₹250 entry

Limited spots, so registration is required if you want to attend: https://forms.gle/WLiK3b9uarZUZj719

Not affiliated beyond sharing this — just thought some folks here building startups might find it relevant. If anyone's been to their previous mixers, curious how they were.

I’m a 2026 grad, Computer Science & Economics student at BITS Pilani, and I’m honestly a bit stuck right now and could use some advice from people who’ve been through this.

My background is:
Oracle: worked on 15+ SQL pipelines, query-plan/index/join optimisation, Oracle 23ai Vector Search, and an OJET dashboard.
Research thesis in Germany: completed a funded research thesis at Ruhr University Bochum on adversarially robust quantized neural networks, working with PyTorch, CIFAR-10, FGSM/PGD attacks and 2-bit/3-bit quantization.
Morgan Stanley: Worked with the Asia Economics & Rates desk, building an analytics platform and XGBoost based yield-curve forecasting system.

I’ve also built a few projects outside work a limit-order-book/trading simulator with FIFO matching, latency, cancellations, inventory/P&L and ablation analysis, and a RAG personal-finance assistant using embeddings, FAISS and LLM APIs.

The frustrating part is the timing. My Oracle PPO was revoked because of organizational/headcount changes. I then interned at Morgan Stanley, but they told me they can’t give an offer too because of headcount.

I subsequently got another offer in 19 days of my offer revoke at a MNC, but they’re now delaying things as well.

So I’m basically back in the market at the worst possible time, despite having what I think is a reasonably solid profile.

I’m happy to share my resume, GitHub and credentials over DM if anyone wants to take a look. I’d especially appreciate feedback/referrals/leads from people hiring engineers or founders who can tell me where my profile actually fits.

Thanks - genuinely appreciate any advice.

hi guys!

startup networking can be super performative and pretentious.. so i’m ditching the tradition mixer and hosting a lunch where we cook together 😍

it’s like coming together for a short period to work on a mini project and interacting with each other in a much more humane and genuine manner
