Found this video from yesterday night. Still working at 2:44 am and ngl this has become very normal now.
Sleep schedule, weekdays, weekends - everything feels the same.
Just build > talk to users > fix > repeat
What’s the latest thing you’ve build or currently building?
Found this interesting take on Orangeinvest today
Heads down building, shipping, and talking with users that’s how today’s going.
A user told us: “When I feel bored, I open your app.”
Not sure if that’s a good thing, bad thing, or somewhere in between :))
Photo reveal of the whole team once we hit 100 members in this community 👀
PS - This is the current photo while I was writing this post
Yes, this is basically what we’re working. When you’re building something of your own or working in early stage startup all days are same.
Today was mostly spent speaking with users after our last update and now fixing things based on their feedback.
What did you all do this Sunday?
Android app new update is finally live :))
Spending time understanding what’s breaking and what’s making the product sticky. The data set is still small, but pattern recognition itself is a valuable exercise right now.
This is what a Saturday night looks like for founders.
Android update didn’t go live. Still fixing a few things before pushing it.
Spent a good part of a day replying to iPhone users individually and explaining the delay while we continue fixing and stabilizing Android first.
Orange aka Padiigang is very supportive.
Past few days have mostly been about fixing things based on early user feedback.
Currently working on the next Android release and trying to push it live by today.
Snippets of our app screens :)
One thing we keep hearing again and again from people:
It’s not that they don’t want to invest.
They just don’t have the time or mental energy to keep up with everything.
Most people already know they should manage money better.
But between work, life, and information overload -finance starts feeling like homework.
These conversations are shaping a lot of how we’re building Orange.
One thing we’re trying to do while things are still small:
Personalize everything as much as possible.
Welcoming every early user manually, talking to them directly, making them feel part of something instead of just another signup.
Pretty sure this becomes impossible once you scale.
But maybe that’s the advantage of being early - you can care in ways bigger companies can’t.
Thought everything was working fine until early users started using it properly.
Got this feedback today. Funny how people instantly find things you completely miss while building.
We’re still working on our backend and improving it based on early users feedback.

Is it just to strength Jio’s balance sheet and market perceive no exit as growth oriented - what u think 🤔
Spent almost the entire day in offline meetings yesterday. Started at 10 in the morning, ended around 10 at night.
Only 3 meetings, but somehow the whole day disappeared.
Probably one of the most tiring but useful days so far.

Tl;dr: Orange is your finance friend you can call anytime. Early access is now open.
Hey everyone,
After leaving our jobs, we started building Orange app - 21 days ago and our beta app is finally live.
If you’re someone who wants to start investing but doesn’t know where to begin, or you’re already investing and want more clarity while making decisions, we’d love to onboard you.
Comment below and I’ll share the link. Or pls share this with someone who might need it.
Got these messages from early users today after trying Orange.
Honestly crazy seeing people spend hours talking to something we built.
Still a lot to improve. Bugs, UI issues, things breaking randomly sometimes.But moments like this make the chaos feel worth it.
Got hit with a 3-day Reddit ban right after Day 7 - don’t know the reason. Anyway, ban’s gone now.
Since the last update, we’ve been heads down fixing things, talking to users, and getting the product ready for real people outside our circle.
Early access is now open for the first 100 users.
If you’re someone who wants to start or already investing but want clarity - talk to padii and see the magic.
