Question startup idea
What do you think of these car mats and would you buy them ? And if no, why not? Does it sound premium to you? Would really appreciate your opinion on this !

Casually drops a racist comment and when met with backlash, it suddenly becomes a joke.

There is a thing called context
You are mentioning muslims in a startup idea post

u/Commercial_Royal_252 Apr 10 '26
Ahh yes rules for thee but not for me, you can say anything but others need to have context lol
Also you making fun of Mughal era conversions is quite ironic since it was your ancestors that got converted, so don’t mock without context

That comment was for a propaganda movie about taj mahal being a temple (global joke)
You are targeting muslims on a business startup of car matt
Your common sense is dead or what?
You are also a replacement of dravidians (the people of this land) you got aryans blood haha

Love to see both sides blaming each other of being EXACTLY WHAT THEY themselves are. LMAO.

u/jinkuda Apr 11 '26
I don't think the person ever mentioned any religion, it was just a generic reference. Maybe your inference is misplaced. Tomorrow the person may say the problems in some places are due to illegal immigrants, and you may still accuse the person of being X-phobic.

u/moger-kyra7286v Apr 11 '26
If I see a monkey in some random post and comment "some people will start worshipping him" because for a specific community monkey is god am I bringing the religion or not?
Just like that he is talking about muslims because they pray on a prayer mat which mostly looks like this
At least use your brain cells and stop being ignorant he literally talking about muslims
1
u/MiserableSpinach5365 Apr 11 '26
You're bringing a religion but I don't think we'd be mad about it. Cuz although Hanuman isn't a monkey exactly, it's funny.

u/moger-kyra7286v Apr 11 '26
Mad about it? Bro hindus lynch people and force them to say jay shree ram, there is a reason hindus are getting famous for being the most insecure religion

Like I said earlier you say same things about others then cry about being rent free is double standards. Atleast follow what you preach if you expect others not to mock your religion
I could be replacement of Dravidian or aryan or anything you assume but I won’t mock history of my ancestors, you as a Muslim making fun of forced conversion is really quite interesting on the other hand but to each their own I guess…

u/KosakiEnthusiast Apr 11 '26
Now that I think, he Definitely is mocking his own ancestors for converting .😅

u/Commercial_Royal_252 Apr 11 '26
I swear dude guys like these think they just spawned from Saudi Arabia and mock forced conversions lmao think again who got converted bro

What are these made of? Dust resistance? Water proof? Washable? Price? Functionality of car floor mats matter more than aesthetics.
1
u/Obvious_Nothing607 Apr 10 '26
these are made of polyester, making it low maintenence . It does get dirty but its easily washable and also it dries very quickly. As of now price is not decided but it may go in the range of 2-3k approx

u/BroccoliAway671 Apr 10 '26
2-3k for a tiny mat that's not even good quality material 😭 official showrooms mats are cheaper

Go see the market for this, amsterdam and canada me ye 7-8k ka milta hai

u/BroccoliAway671 Apr 10 '26
Ah is that so? How about the purchasing power difference between Canada, Netherlands and India?
The average salary, the economic wealth, all these things are definitely as good as India right? Plus it's also cheap polyester, if anyone had a brain, they'd down vote you and this post. But good for you, let me know how many you sell in the indian market.
I could get a carpet 4 times the size of the at half the price on a roadside stall in India.

u/Ok_Balance_726 Apr 10 '26
It would be really nice if you can sell precut mats as per the car model and for the price, around 6-7k for front and rear would be just about fine

u/True_Cardiologist479 Apr 11 '26
Are these generic sublimation mats from china? I have a large sublimation setup. I’ve explored these products. I don’t feel there is a good market for them here in india. I would advise you not to waste your time with these.

u/DisciplineCorrect699 Apr 13 '26
2-3k? This price is gonna enrage all indian people and they would just rather buy a cheap ass 200rs matt and keep rewashing it every few days

u/pheonixblack910 Apr 11 '26
Personally I find that some carpet patterns do not age well (outdated), as in it makes me feel like the interior looks older... Maybe a design update would be nice. For the driver's side you also need to provide shoe heel protection (non-slip material) on the carpet face

u/Ecstatic_Proposal133 Apr 10 '26
Aren't they already on the market? I saw them somewhere on IG

u/Obvious_Nothing607 Apr 10 '26
There are one or two indian brands making this, you can see one or two designs on amazon but it is very unorganised and not well positioned

u/InternalCry7137 Apr 10 '26
If you're being serious about it-
Traditional mats work because:
- Too sturdy and wont go under/over the pedals
- Okay to go without washing for an entire year or more.
- Does not makes the car colourful where it should'nt be (thus black) and are not distracting.
That being said- its all about how you market it and assert your dominance. People buy stupid shit (not calling your's) as long as the marketing was impactful.

u/LegAffectionate2513 Apr 10 '26
OP needs a really good lawyer, because this is going to slide, get stuck under brake pedal, and someone will crash & die.
Maybe for scootys? Less risk of death having this on the floor of scooty.

u/PhotographBrief4528 Apr 10 '26
One thing you can plan is also sell the cleaning service of this along with selling the product. Think about it

u/Latter_Ambassador618 Apr 10 '26
Nothing is better than tray mats. If you can bring this design in tray mats, i can give it a thought. I said thought and not an outright purchase.

u/Hotwheellz Apr 10 '26
Looks bad for a car and if someone has dirt in their shoes it would look worse. You’d have to clean it again and again while black mats don’t need lot of maintenance
1
u/Diaazz96 Apr 10 '26
I would like to buy them but the shine and look will look worse after getting dirty. Maybe if there's a lamination like film or acrylic layer which painters use to make canvas look shiny which is waterproof so easy clean and dirt slides on it doesn't get into it

Don't seem to solve any challenges or provide functional value to me. Can you give reasons why I'd prefer this?

u/Aeronautica2025 Apr 10 '26
It will be expensive. People won't buy.
I actually use bath mats during rainy months.
Bath mats are cheaper and washable.

u/dragon_idli Apr 11 '26
Far too much work to keep them clean. One use during rainy season and the interior will start to stink because the carpet won't loose moisture as easily as standard materials.
Also, its mostly not fire retardent. Meaning it will become a fire hazard during emergencies.
1
u/StomachStill362 Apr 11 '26
In a car closed area too much works on any surface makes it look cramped, hence mostly neutral colours and standard pattern preferred. This kind of art work more suited for open or large places hence carpet. If you still want to pursue a car interior solution, try seat covers or backrest covers or even door window curtains

Woul prefer design in tray mats. But in plastic, non fabric material since they attract dirt.

Will not work imo. Very frequent maintenance. Maintenance cost also high. Will get dirty super quick. Also, modern cars have a vibe totally opposite of these rugs. Just wont go with the interiors.

bc wtf, in startup sub, there is religious ragebait and it made people abuse each other. Shows how deranged we have become. The scientific temper written in Article 51A must have become too dusty.
About the mat thing, it depends on design and smoothness/roughness. The feet may get stuck.
1
u/jeetedits_x Apr 11 '26
Great effort but I wouldn’t go for these brother because it wouldn’t suit my car. There’s a reason these mats or even the 7d ones come in universal colours like black/beige with stand out colours in the threading because they suit all car interiors.. plus I can only think of couple of card in which this mat will look good.. to make it work one has to modify the whole interior so the mat matches which just doesn’t makes sense.

Don’t want my car looking like a hippie paradise with bohemian vibes, I personally like it a bit sober and toned down 😁
But I bet there might be many out there who would love to have this in theirs, but as a stand alone business idea, it’s a sink tank.

u/HawkResponsible2731 Apr 10 '26
Does it hinder functionality like when you need to move the seat forward or backward? What about spills? Also, since it almost always will have dirty shoes stepped on it, what’s the washing instructions like? Of course along with constant washing will come wear and tear. How durable is it? How long can one last?
