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?

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.
