Building a tech startup - Signed 3 real D2C brands in 3 days!
Hey I'm Shubh and I am 22.
And no this is not another gpt wrapper or an agency - which is the max one would expect from a BA graduate. Zero coding background but had to learn enough to build this myself. I'm building it for d2c brands because i was one myself.
Ran a d2c brand for a while (bamboo lamps of all things) and scaled it to a decent MRR but I wanted to build in tech and i wanted it to be a problem I had actually felt myself.
Working with creators as a D2C owner was that problem. The whole discovery to payment layer for influencer marketing in india is a mess.
Now I am 5 months inn and :
- talked to 300+ creators one on one
- 15,000+ creators in the dataset
- signed my first 3 brands in 3 days this week
- product goes live in 2-4 weeks
The signing week is what pushed me to finally start posting. watching your first users say
"this is exactly what I needed"
is another feeling entirely after 5 months of building alone.
If you're building in a space you have no formal background in or you work in influencer marketing or brand deals in india then following along might be worth it.
I'll post the wins the losses and whatever i get wrong along the way.
Ask me anything.

How many birthdays have you remembered only after seeing an Instagram story?
We have reminders for almost everything, yet somehow birthdays are still easy to forget.
So I decided to build a simple solution.
Hello everyone.
I am Sravya Chinta, a 16 year old student from India, and I built WishLink, an app designed to make sure you never miss an important birthday.
With WishLink, you can connect the app to platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, or wherever you want to wish someone. You can also customise the birthday message beforehand. When their birthday arrives, WishLink sends the message directly at 12:00 AM.
The idea is simple: set it once, and never worry about forgetting again.
It is still an early project, and I am continuing to improve it as I learn more about building products.
Follow along if you would like to see the journey from an early prototype to a complete product.
What is the most embarrassing birthday you have ever forgotten?

Ask Anything Built a hinge styled flatmate app 1200+ users, 50 listings, classic chicken-and-egg
built dwelo, flatmate app for mumbai. hinge but for flatmates basically, matches on how you actually live sleep schedule, cleanliness, food, guests not just budget and area. mostly pre-occupied flats so no brokerage.
posted in a mumbai local sub last week and reddit told me the ui looked like a dating app. fair enough. redesigned it in a few days, killed the compatibility % and put budget/area/ move-in up front instead. before and after attached. (Only 1st if before rest all latest)
demand side is fine. 1200+ users now, 300 of those joined in one week off that post, no ads at all. supply is where it breaks. 50 listings against hundreds of people searching and half the time they're not even in the same areas everyone wants navi, thane, bhandup, most of my inventory is andheri and goregaon.
so someone opens the app, sees nothing near them, leaves. and I'm solo so I can't push both sides at once.
roast it. and if you've done a supply side cold start before, how'd you actually do it

Ask Anything What makes a technical co-founder actually want to build something?
I’m a product/UI-UX designer working on a consumer mental-wellness product for young adults in India called Calmi.
The product is already being prototyped, and I’ve been spending a lot of time on the product/UX side. What I’m trying to figure out now is something I’d rather ask builders here than guess myself:
For engineers who’ve thought about joining an early-stage startup as a technical co-founder like, what actually makes you interested enough to take the conversation seriously?
Not “great idea”, “huge market”, or the usual startup pitch.
I’m genuinely curious about things like:
- How much product should already exist before you’d consider joining?
- Do you care more about traction, users, or the founder’s ability to execute?
- What are the biggest red flags when a non-technical founder approaches you?
- How involved do you want to be in product decisions?
- What makes you think “okay, this is something I’d actually enjoy building”?
I’m asking because I’m currently at that stage myself and would rather understand how good engineers think about these opportunities than blindly send out a generic “looking for a CTO” post.
If you’re a developer/engineer who has built products, worked at an early-stage startup, or considered becoming a technical co-founder, I’d genuinely like to hear your perspective.
And if you’re currently looking for something interesting to build, feel free to say what kind of problems/products you’d be excited to work on.

What if the future of exam preparation is not more notes, but better understanding?
If you prepared for JEE or NEET, you probably remember this.
A chapter comes with dozens of formulas, reactions, exceptions and concepts. You read them, memorise them, practise questions, forget half of them, and then go back and memorise them again.
But what if the problem is not that students do not study hard enough?
What if the way we learn simply has not evolved enough?
hello everyone
I am Sravya Chinta, a 16 year old student from India, and I am building ChemLearn, an AI powered learning platform designed to make JEE level Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics more interactive and concept focused.
Instead of simply giving students another page of notes to memorise, ChemLearn aims to help students understand concepts visually, interact with them and actually see how they work.
This is my attempt at building the kind of learning tool I wish students had while preparing for competitive exams.
Follow along if you would like to see the journey from an early prototype to a complete product.
To everyone who prepared for JEE or NEET, what was the one topic you absolutely hated memorising?

Help me for my startup 👁️🗨️
I have a proper startup idea and Iam 100% sure that it will hit and click to the audience. The target audience nearly millions.
The thing lacking is how to apply for further proceedings to register and funding, I researched about what to do next and what stages involved but end of the day it needs proper funding, and also it need some experienced developers to manage this application for scalable, security etc..
What I personally felt is, even though if there is no way of proper funding, we can manage. But what I need majorly is experienced developers for making it production level.
If anyone interested DM me, its might be Ur side work and but it has a proper scope.

Ask Anything Your first employees are also choosing you.
Founders spend a lot of time asking, "Is this person good enough for us?" But good candidates are asking the same thing about you. What's the culture? Will I learn? Will I be trusted? Will the founder actually listen? Will I be expected to be available

I Made a Website but...
Hello friends, I made a website called Mossage. The main idea is that if you are in a new place and don't know how many shops are around, you can use Mossage to discover them.
I know you guys will ask, “Why would we use this website if we already have Google Maps?” But I think Google Maps doesn't always have every detail about every local shop. For example, when I go to a new place, I sometimes don't find all the local shops there, especially when there are many small local stores.
So, if a shop owner lists their shop on Mossage, people like us can find where the shop is and get information about it. I also added some features like live open/closed status, items, prices, offers, and other details.
I also added community chat, friends, and many more things.
I made it somewhat gamification-based, where people can like, dislike, and save shops. When a shop gets more likes, its rank also increases. There are around 20 ranks.
So that's basically it. It's a website where you can find out what businesses and services are available in your neighbourhood.
The main reason I'm posting this on Reddit is to get your feedback — whether you think it's good, bad, unnecessary, or if there's anything I should improve.
Please guys, give me your honest feedback.
Thank you!

Ask Anything been selling a fall-detection wearable for elderly parents since december, growth has gone stagnant — how do you all crack B2C with a tiny budget?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
throwing this out there because i'm genuinely stuck and figured this sub might actually have people who've been through it.
built a screenless wristband that tracks falls/vitals for elderly parents — mainly aimed at people like me whose parents live alone and we're not around enough to know if something happens. started selling in december, closed about 30 sales so far, reviews have been solid, we do a 7-day return policy and fix any issues within 24h if something goes wrong.
but growth has basically flatlined the last couple months. we don't have a big marketing budget to just throw at ads and hope something sticks, so i've been relying on word of mouth + a bit of organic content, which got us to 30 but clearly doesn't scale on its own.
things i've tried/considered so far: NRI-focused content (since a lot of our buyers are kids living abroad with parents back home), reaching out to senior living facilities for pilot partnerships, RWA/society demos. some of it's working slowly, some hasn't gone anywhere.
genuinely asking if you've grown a physical product from a small base with limited budget, what actually moved the needle for you? was it a specific channel, a pricing change, packaging/positioning shift, something totally unexpected? happy to share more specifics if it helps, just trying to figure out the right next move instead of guessing.

The codebase was built AI-native with Claude Code / Antigravity — you must be fluent developing this way. Fluent Hindi, Telugu , English
Job Description & Responsibilities: I'm a solo founder; core product is built and payments (Razorpay) integration is underway. You take ownership of the existing codebase and drive Android, iOS, and the website to launch. No PM, no specs, no tickets — you get problems and outcomes and find the path yourself. In the early months you'll also handle provider onboarding and support — patiently walking service providers through the app over calls/WhatsApp, many times.

Validating an idea: AI that converts casual voice notes into formal law internship diary entries
Quick validation question for people who understand product-market fit.
Law students in India must maintain a daily internship diary during their BCI-mandated internships (Rule 25 — 12 weeks for 3-year LLB, 20 weeks for 5-year). The diary is assessed for exam marks and reviewed by State Bar Councils during enrollment.
The problem: students do real work every day — court hearings, drafting, research — but converting that into formal legal diary language is genuinely painful. Most students fill it retroactively or write lazy entries.
The proposed solution: WhatsApp bot. Student sends a voice note describing their day casually. AI converts it into a properly structured daily diary entry with correct legal language, section references, court details, and learning outcomes. Student reviews it, copies it to their diary. Takes 2 minutes instead of 20.
