r/Indian_Business

I am a Mba finance student (23 M) in India and I also have interest in gardening and I tried applying 100-200 jobs and internships and I am not getting interview or any mails, and I tried applying for AI training jobs but no response 😔, also I once had a little hope of sucess on selling plants on Meesho, I got 20 orders but I got losses too because the delivery was late and Customer were returning product and meesho charged me 172 rs return charge for a 200 rs plant because it's weight. And I tried posting my gig on freelance app and I got no orders, Tried those mini task and earning apps but they needed me to earn 5 dollars to withdraw and obv it was hard to earn that much because the task surveys were always non relevant to me or my location and the game apps levels were insanely hard, Please 😭 give me ideas/ business ideas/ any tricks or tips..Any ideas will help me..

I never imagined I’d be writing a post asking strangers for help. For the past 1.5–2 years, I’ve been trying to build something of my own. I lack funding, a wealthy family background, and a large network. All I have is my laptop, AI, and a lot of late nights.

I built DealSetu, an escrow-based platform designed to make online buyer–seller deals safer by introducing a trusted middle layer. I’ve invested around ₹10–15K of my own money into it, spent months fixing bugs, improving features, and getting the MVP production-ready.

The crazy part? I’m currently spending ₹0 on marketing, yet people are finding DealSetu through AI/search, visiting the website, and even creating accounts. However, nobody is creating real deals yet, and I understand why. I haven’t had the money to properly establish the company, build trust, create content, and market it.

Right now, I need around ₹50,000 to take the next step:

• ₹25–30K → Company registration
• Bank/current account setup
• Remaining amount → Initial marketing, content & operating expenses

I’m not looking for a huge investment. I’m looking for one person who is willing to bet ₹50,000 on a young founder who refuses to quit. If someone is genuinely interested, I’m open to discussing 5% equity in DealSetu in exchange for ₹50,000, subject to proper legal documentation.

I’m also open to discussing a structured repayment arrangement instead of equity, but I don’t want to make unrealistic promises about returns. The business has to succeed first.

I’ve tried looking for funding for a long time, but I haven’t been able to get it anywhere. I don’t want to keep asking friends or family either. So, I’m taking a chance on Reddit.

If you’re interested, sceptical, or even just want to understand what I’ve built, I’m happy to show you everything — the product, numbers, roadmap, and what I’m trying to build.

₹50,000 might sound small to some, but I’m completely broke and hopeless. I couldn’t arrange this money on my own. If anyone wants to discuss or ask anything, I’m open to answering. I’m not going to scam anyone; my startup’s main motto is trusted buy-sell deals and helping people avoid online scams. I’ve almost been scammed four times and lost 30,000–40,000 INR online. Firstly, When I try to sold my Facebook groups and secondly, buying an online course on Telegram and other platforms. This is the short story behind making this startup. I searched many times but couldn’t find any services that could handle small amounts of escrow. Then I thought I had to build it myself, and I did. However, a lack of funds can cause problems before lunch.

I'm considering building a dating platform where membership is limited to verified professionals, entrepreneurs and high-income individuals.

Instead of thousands of random profiles, the idea is to create a smaller network of people who are:

✓ Identity verified

✓ Professionally verified

✓ Potentially financially verified

✓ Serious about meeting compatible people

Think of it as a private professional dating network, rather than another Tinder/Bumble.

I'd love honest feedback:

- Would you actually use it?

- Would verification make you trust the platform more?

- Would you pay ₹1,000–₹3,000/month?

- What would make the app worth paying for?

- Would you prefer dating + networking + private events in the same community?

Please be brutally honest. I'm validating the idea before building anything.

We’re looking for people in India who are interested in joining Rashtralink, an early-stage AI-based social networking platform.

The Business team will work on user growth, business development, partnerships, outreach and exploring new opportunities for the platform.

Looking for people who are genuinely interested in startups and can commit around 22+ hours per week.

India-based candidates only.

I'm a software engineer, and I help my sister run her home bakery — accounting, strategy, the operational stuff. Watching her business up close showed me exactly what the problem is: almost every home baker we know runs on Instagram DMs, WhatsApp chats, and a notebook, guessing at what they actually made on each order instead of knowing.

So I built Kamai: order tracking, expense tracking, a menu builder, and real margin calculation for home bakers. The kind of tool that turns "I think this month was decent" into "I know exactly what I made, and on what."

It's live and working. Two bakers are using it daily, with zero rupees spent on marketing so far.

Here's exactly what ₹30,000 goes to:

• ₹4,000 — Play Store listing, app signing, release setup
• ₹15,000 — Pilot collaborations with 2 baking teachers who have real reach with working bakers (small fee + bonus only for bakers who actually sign up and use it — not a blind ad spend)
• ₹6,000 — Infra buffer as usage grows past free tiers (OTP credits, hosting overage)
• ₹5,000 — Contingency for anything unplanned

I'm not asking for a handout — I'm asking for early backers who want a working product to reach the people it's actually built for. If that's you: [UPI ID / link / DM me] — I'll share real numbers with anyone who backs this, including whether the teacher collabs actually convert.

Happy to answer anything about the product in the comments.
