I work in tech and have been thinking of building a small SaaS product focused on Indian businesses.

Most startup discussions online are around huge ideas or AI wrappers, but I feel there are probably many smaller day-to-day problems that people would actually pay to solve.

So wanted to ask business owners/operators here:

What’s one recurring problem in your business that still feels unnecessarily manual, frustrating, or time-consuming?

Could be anything like:

• managing leads/customers
• coordinating on WhatsApp
• inventory issues
• vendor follow-ups
• approvals
• staff attendance/tracking
• reporting
• billing/accounting workflows
• paperwork/compliance
• logistics
• repetitive Excel work
• etc.

Would be really helpful if you can share:

• what industry/business you’re in
• how you currently solve it
• what existing software/tools are lacking

Not trying to sell anything, just genuinely researching problems worth solving instead of building random products nobody needs.

I was manually using searches like:

site.com "username"

to find public Instagram posts/reels indexed by Google, and eventually decided to turn it into a small side project:

https://insta-sparkle-search.lovable.app

The idea is simple:
enter an Instagram username and the app surfaces publicly indexed Instagram URLs from search engines in a cleaner way.

Current experiments:

• reel/post discovery
• cached search results
• indexed URL filtering
• archived/deleted public URLs
• improving search quality

Tech stack:

• Lovable for rapid MVP
• serverless backend
• search-engine-based indexing approach
