Building a neighbourhood task app in Chennai — looking for a co-founder who's allergic to sitting still

Hey,

I'll keep it real.

I built an app called Taskr Connect— a hyperlocal marketplace where people post tasks they need done (cooking, tutoring, repairs, dog walking, event help, anything) and skilled people nearby take those tasks and earn from them.

Think of it as the gap between a full-time job and a random gig platform — local, human, trust-based.

The app is built. The concept is validated. The content strategy is mapped. What I genuinely lack is a person who executes in the real world — someone who walks into buildings, talks to auto drivers, builds communities, runs on ground energy, and doesn't stop until things move.

What I'm looking for in a co-founder:

— Extroverted. Genuinely comfortable with people.

— Executor first, strategist second. Done > perfect.

— Has built or grown something before, even small.

— Has a visible presence — posts content, does videos, has spoken publicly, anchored events, anything that shows you're not afraid of people seeing you.

— Available to commit real time. Not someone with a full-time job and 30 free minutes a week.

— Between student life and first job is the sweet spot.

What I'm NOT looking for:

— Someone whose first question is "how much equity?"

— Someone who wants to "help when they can"

— Anyone looking for a side thing to do between scrolling

What you get:

— Real equity in a real product (15–20%, milestone-based)

— Founding co-creator credit — you build this from the ground up

— Direct access to strategy, product decisions, everything

— An introvert-extrovert founding pair that actually works

The validation I need from you:

Before we talk seriously — show me something. A video you made. A page you ran. An event you anchored. A community you built. I'm not asking for a portfolio. I just need proof that you're not afraid of being seen.

If this sounds like you — or like someone you know — DM me here or reply below. I'll share the full app details and we can have a real conversation.

Asked a classmate ₹400 to write assignments for me. He said yes. Now I'm wondering why this isn't a normal thing

So this started as a random thought — I was swamped with assignments, my room needed cleaning, and I had a parcel to pick up.

Three different problems, zero time.

And I kept thinking: there are people around me with free time who would happily take ₹100–300 to do exactly this.

Why is there no easy way to connect?

Like... what if someone could post "I need someone to walk my dog for an hour" or "stand in this TNEB queue for me" or "help me set up my laptop's OS" — and someone nearby who actually has time just picks it up and gets paid?

Not Swiggy. Not Urban Company. Just... people helping people, for tasks those apps would never touch.

Think about it — how many times have you thought "I'd literally pay someone to do this right now"?

- Submitting a record on your behalf to college office

- Dropping a surprise gift to someone

- Drawing a quick sketch for a presentation

- Helping tow a bike after a breakdown

- Picking up second-hand books

- Even just guiding a relative visiting Chennai for the first time

I've been building something around this idea — a simple app where anyone can post any task (legal, obviously 😅) and people nearby can pick it up and earn on their own time.

No fixed shifts. No category restrictions. No interview. If you have 2 free hours, you could be earning.

Not launching a startup pitch here — genuinely curious: would you use something like this? Either to post tasks or take them?

Also open to feedback on what tasks people here actually struggle with — might help shape what this looks like for students specifically.
