I’ve been working in corporate/customer support for almost 3 years now and honestly I feel mentally exhausted. Long hours, office politics, travelling, pressure, working under managers constantly… I feel done with this life.

I’m 25 and lately I’ve been seriously thinking about starting something of my own instead of spending the next 10-15 years working under someone else.

The business idea is not some big startup or fancy cafe. I’m thinking small and practical.

Plan is:

• Egg shop in Ulwe
• Retail + bulk egg supply
• Supply to small cafes/stalls/restaurants
• Home delivery nearby through WhatsApp
• Target gym customers too
• Keep some fast moving items like onion, potato, bread, milk, cheese, cold drinks etc
• Small stationery section also because my father already has experience in stationery items

At night after 9 PM I want to start selling:

• Anda bhurji
• Anda pav
• Omelette
• Basic egg food items

Financially:

• Around ₹2.5L savings
• ₹1L loan
• Emergency backup through credit card if things go bad

I’m not expecting huge profit quickly. My main goal honestly is:

• survive
• build something stable
• stop depending fully on jobs
• have control over my own future

I know business is difficult too and I’m not romanticizing it. I know I may have to work even harder than corporate initially.

But I genuinely want to know from people who have done food/grocery/small business:

• Is this business model practical?
• Are egg margins too low?
• Is cooked food where real profit comes from?
• What mistakes usually kill businesses like this?
• Would you leave corporate in my situation?

Would appreciate genuine advice, even harsh truth.

Hey guys,

Long story short I am 24M. Worked at Accenture customer service for 3 years, but now I am absolutely done. Frustrated AF working under people, mental health ki waat lag gayi hai. So, I am taking a leap of faith and starting my own raw chicken shop in Ulwe.

A lot of people around me think I’m making a mistake leaving a corporate brand name for a "chicken shop", but honestly, dhanda dhanda hota hai.

I have mapped out my finances tightly and wanted to get some reviews from folks who live in Navi Mumbai / Ulwe, or understand business. Here is the breakdown:

• Total Capital: 3.5 Lakhs (2.5L savings + 1L loan).
• Shop Setup: Fixed ₹80k deposit + 4 months rent buffer (₹25k/month = ₹1L). So shop security is sorted for 4 months.
• Equipment & Cash Flow: Spending around ₹1.2 Lakh on equipment (Deep freezer, SS cutting counters, cages, tiling, FSSAI license). Planning to put around ₹50k of this on my Axis Credit Card EMI to save hard cash.
• In Hand Cash: Will have around ₹90k-95k liquid cash left for daily sourcing from Vashi APMC.
• Monthly Survival Costs: Home ration (10k) + Scooter EMI (3.5k) + Self (3k) + Staff Cutter Salary (15k) + Electricity (5k) = Approx ₹41,500 fixed cost every month.

My Strategy to beat local standard shops: I don't want it to be a typical smelly, dirty shop. I'm installing a glass partition between the cutting area and customers, using lemongrass sprays, and keeping it premium hygienic so families/women feel comfortable visiting. Also planning a solid WhatsApp delivery network for high-rises in Sector 19/9/20, and keeping ready-to-cook marinated items (Tikka/Tandoori) for the working crowd.

I need your help with a few things:

1. Is Ulwe a good market for this? Which sectors should I target for maximum footfall?
2. How risky is supplying to local cafes/hotels? Someone told me restaurants block your money in a credit trap.
3. Am I missing any hidden costs (like local bodies, extra electricity, or high wastage)?

Please be as brutal as possible. I am putting my life savings into this. Thanks!

I have resigned from Accenture because the work environment no longer felt stable or secure for my future. I have family responsibilities, so I cannot afford to stay without a job or depend on uncertainty.

I am currently looking for a remote opportunity where I can work full-time and grow. I can handle customer service roles, basic AI automation tasks, ai agent, app development, support operations, and I am also open to learning new tools or software if training is provided for a few days.

I am comfortable working 8–10 hours a day and will always give my best to the role. My target is to earn around $500–$700 per month through a stable remote job.

If anyone can help, refer me, or connect me with opportunities, please DM me. I would truly appreciate it.

I built this app using Lovable as my first AI-powered project. It’s a fully functional messaging application with chat, voice calling, and video calling features, and everything is working smoothly. I also converted it into an APK using andriod studio for Android devices.

The app includes custom themes and offers a complete experience similar to modern messaging platforms like whatsapp. Since this is my very first creation using AI tools, I would genuinely love to get honest reviews and feedback from people.

I also want to understand whether apps like this have market demand and if it’s possible to market it or customize such apps for clients or businesses in the future. Any suggestions, improvements, or opinions would really help me grow and improve as a developer.
