I recently commented on this post about going directly with local trekking operators:

I was already working on an idea around the adventure travel market in India, but something unexpected happened after this comment — I received 50+ DMs asking for help, recommendations, pricing and how things actually work.

That honestly gave me a much stronger signal that there is a real gap in the current market.

Right now, it feels like there are two extremes:

Expensive established players → limited inventory + high pricing

Small operators → large batches + inconsistent experience

I think there is room somewhere in the middle — smaller groups, better experiences, transparent pricing and reliable local operators.

I'm already working on this direction and now looking to connect with someone from a tech/product background who loves trekking and might be interested in joining as a potential co-founder.

Please DM , if this sounds interesting...

Hi Jaipur ,

My friend is looking to buy a good value for money flat ( 2 BHK mini ) within Jaipur territory.

The Budget line is around 50-60 Lakhs bottomline.

Only requirement should be that area should well connected with all the basic facilities like cab OLA & UBER , quick commerce and other similar.

I'm working on a new QSR/food venture in Udaipur and looking for a co-founder who can take ownership of the food production and product-development side.

**Looking for someone with experience in:**

Food production & recipe development

Menu development and food costing

Kitchen operations & SOPs

Ingredient sourcing and portion control

Food quality, consistency & hygiene

Scaling recipes for commercial production

Prior HORECA/QSR experience is an advantage, but practical hands-on experience matters more than qualifications.

My role

I'll handle the business branding, marketing, vendor/contractor coordination, compliance, finances, partnerships and overall execution.

I'm not looking for a chef/employee — I'm looking for someone who wants to genuinely build the venture as a co-founder and own the food/product side.

The idea

The goal is to build a niche, health-oriented food concept that balances nutrition, taste and commercial viability.

The initial plan is to start lean, validate the product and unit economics through a small setup, and eventually move into a QSR format once the model is proven.

If you're interested, DM me with a brief introduction, your food/HORECA experience and what you could bring as a co-founder.

Udaipur-based or willing to build in Udaipur preferred.

I'm exploring the packaged drinking water business and would really appreciate some advice from people who have actual experience in this industry.

Would love to understand things like:

Manufacturing vs. outsourcing

Initial investment & margins

Distribution challenges

Retailer/dealer margins

How difficult it is to compete with established brands

What actually makes a new water brand work

If you've worked in bottled water, FMCG distribution, or run a water plant, I'd really appreciate your honest experience.

What is one thing you wish you knew before entering this business?

I recently came back from Bangalore, and one thing that really stood out to me was the number of proper campsites around the city.

Places like Ramanagara, Kanakapura, Bannerghatta and Nandi Hills have camps where you can spend the evening around a bonfire, stay in soft-shell tents, meet new people, enjoy music, and just disconnect for a while.

I'm not talking about luxury Swiss tents or resort-style camps. I mean simple outdoor camping with a good vibe.

Bangalore Camping Experience

It got me thinking... I haven't come across anything similar around Udaipur.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Do we have any good camping spots within 30–40 km of the city that offer this kind of experience?

Or do you also feel this is something Udaipur lacks?

Would love to hear your recommendations or thoughts. 👇

Random thought I had today.

Nowadays, planning a trip has become super easy.

You can find places on Instagram,

make itineraries using Al,

book hotels online directly and handle payments yourself.

As someone in their 20s, I honestly don't remember the last time I felt the need to go to a travel company for a trip.

Do you think future travellers will still use travel companies, or will most people prefer planning everything on their own?

Curious to know what everyone thinks about the future of travel.

I'm evaluating a retail shop opportunity next to a large private hospital with decent daily footfall.

The idea is to sell:

• Snacks & beverages
• Daily essentials
• Toiletries & baby products
• Quick grab-and-go items

No pharmacy or medical products.

For people with retail experience:

• Are hospital-adjacent stores generally profitable?
• Who spends more: hospital staff or patient attendants?
• What products usually sell the most?
• Any mistakes or hidden challenges I should be aware of?

Would appreciate any real-world experiences or suggestions before making a decision.

Hey everyone ( BLR people ) !

I'm planning a 2 Days / 1 Night trekking trip to the Chikmagalur region and thought it'd be fun to have a few like-minded people join instead of going solo.

The rough plan is:

📍 Meet: Friday night around Indiranagar, Bangalore

🚗 I'll be taking my own vehicle, so others can either carpool (depending on available seats) or bring their own vehicle and we can travel together.

Over the weekend we'll be exploring some amazing trails, sunrise viewpoints, waterfalls, and hidden spots around Chikmagalur.

The trip will include:

• 🥾 Trekking & outdoor adventure
• 🍛 Meals
• 🏡 Stay for one night
• 🌄 Exploring lesser-known trails
• 🤝 A new adventure buddy who's already familiar with the route

We'll most likely be back by Sunday night, with Monday morning as a buffer if plans run a little late.

Looking for people who are:

• Open-minded and easy to get along with
• Comfortable with moderate trekking
• More interested in experiences than luxury
• Happy to split expenses fairly

This isn't a commercial tour or travel company event—just a few strangers coming together for an adventure.

If this sounds like your kind of weekend, leave a comment or send me a DM. Happy to share more details and see if we're a good fit before finalizing anything!

I've realised that after a few years of travelling, my memories are scattered across Google Photos, Instagram, WhatsApp, booking emails and random folders.

Sometimes I can't even remember:

• when I visited a place
• who I travelled with
• how much I spent
• places I'd actually recommend

I also think it would be fun to look back after 5–10 years and have a proper record of all my trips instead of digging through thousands of photos.

Curious how everyone here manages this.

And if there was a better way to preserve your travel history, what would you want it to include (if anything)?
