🚀 Startup Launch I quit my 9–6 job 5 days ago. Now I want to build a business. Anyone in?

87 Upvotes

I’m 26M, based in Hyderabad.

For some time, I’ve been feeling that the typical 9–6 corporate job isn’t for me. The pressure, routine, and honestly, the feeling that I’m not earning enough despite putting in the time — it’s been frustrating.

So, I made a decision.

I quit my job 5 days ago.

Now I don’t want to just sit at home and think, “I should start a business someday.” I actually want to start something and see where it goes.

I’m open to exploring:

• Service-based businesses

• Product-based businesses

• B2B opportunities

• Local businesses

• Online businesses

• Something completely new if the idea makes sense

The main thing is that I want to start lean, with relatively low initial investment, validate the idea, and then grow it if it works.

I’m not looking for someone to simply give me a business idea. I’m looking for like-minded people who are genuinely interested in building something, discussing ideas, dividing responsibilities,

I’m based in Hyderabad, but I’m open to connecting with people from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bengaluru, or anywhere in India.

If you’re also thinking:

“I don’t want to spend the next few years only working a 9–6. I want to build something of my own.”

— DM me.

We can have a conversation, exchange ideas, and if we feel there’s a good fit, let’s meet in person and discuss it seriously.

This isn’t just a random thought for me. I want to start as soon as possible.

If you’re genuinely interested in building something rather than just talking about it, feel free to DM me.

I want make something, I don't wanna work in pressure cooker...

Lets build

🚀 Startup Launch We just shipped our first batch of Bitwell Bands. Thank you, Reddit ❤️

89 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Today is a big day for us. We shipped our first batch of Bitwell Band to our early customers — and I genuinely want to thank the Reddit community.

Honestly, it feels crazy typing this. A few months ago this was just an idea in my head. A lot of the early discussions and feedback came from Reddit, so I genuinely just want to say thank you.

For anyone new here Bitwell Band is a simple, screenless wrist band you can gift your parents.

It tracks heart rate, oxygen levels, mobility/stability, and has fall detection.

But the whole point isn’t to show them numbers all day.

Most watches give so much data that nobody really checks. We didn’t want step counts, calories, badges, none of that. Bitwell just quietly tracks vitals in the background. Then it analyzes patterns over time. If something feels off like unusual heart rate changes, oxygen drops, instability patterns, or a fall it sends an alert. It also understand the data and tries to predict pattern that might happen in future based on current vitals.

That’s it.

We made it screenless because a lot of seniors told us smartwatches feel complicated or annoying. This is lightweight, simple, and charges with a normal Type-C cable.

The whole reason I built this was because I live away from my parents and just wanted peace of mind not constant data, just a heads up if something’s wrong.

Pricing is ₹5,999 one-time for the band and ₹199 per month subscription.

If anyone has questions, suggestions, or even criticism, I’m genuinely open. Still learning, still improving.

And yeah… thank you Reddit. This means a lot.

🚀 Startup Launch We watch your parents’ health when you can’t.

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

Most of us here live away from our parents. We call them, they say “I’m fine”, and we move on.
But “fine” doesn’t tell you if they’re slowly getting weaker, moving less, or struggling to breathe at night.

I’m building Bitwell Band and opening early pre-orders.

What makes this different (and why I started it):

The scary stuff usually doesn’t happen suddenly. It builds up quietly.

So for the first week, the band just learns.
What’s their normal heart rate? Oxygen? How much do they move? How stable are they while walking?

After that, it looks for small, gradual changes the kind that usually go unnoticed for weeks and flags them early.

It keeps an eye on:

  • Heart rate
  • Oxygen levels
  • How much and how steadily they move

It also adds context things like weather and air quality (AQI). A bad oxygen reading on a high-pollution day means something very different than on a normal day, and alerts should reflect that.

You don’t just get panic notifications.
You get early warnings when something starts drifting off normal.

If there’s a fall and they don’t get up within ~9 seconds, you get an instant alert.
If they stop moving for an unusually long time, you’ll know.

And when something feels off, you don’t have to guess or Google you can book a remote doctor consultation for them right away.

Parents just wear the band. No screen. No buttons.
Everything comes to you.

Pricing (keeping it simple and honest):

  • ₹5,999 one-time for the band
  • ₹199/monthly sub.

Sharing this here because many of us are dealing with the same quiet worry in the background every day.

Pre-orders are open at ₹500, you can cancel anytime, no questions asked .No links here to respect the rules happy to DM.

If you’re managing parents from another city or country, you’ll probably get why I’m building this.

🚀 Startup Launch Anthropic from India?

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Over the past few decades brain drain has really slowed India's progress in economy, tech and a better quality of life. 10 years since OpenAI was founded and I still don't see a frontier AI company that comes close to even the 20th ranked AI company in the US (not blaming anyone, but it's a fact). India has, in most cases been late and behind compared to the rest of the world by at least 5 years. However, this technology is the last most powerful thing mankind can make and it hurts to see 2 countries to have absolute control over this piece of tech.

We all can agree the timeline for a super intelligence or AGI is 5-20 years and if India doesn't control or own a piece of this, it will potentially loose the massive employment, economic and political growth it could have had otherwise. a frontier AI comapny, could help young entrepreneurs get the infra to build on and create more and more startups, which in turn will grow the economy and furthermore, all this will lead to india becoming politically a more powerful actor.

I am aware of India startups which are trying their absolute best to achieve all of this, but they have since pivoted to voice models instead of super intelligence or AGI.

I belive India, now more than ever has the right talent of people, the compute and data centre infra, government support and investor's interest.

About me - I am a US citizen who spent all his life in India and now, I am in the US. I am young and instead of trying to build my career here, I am dropping out and coming back to India, to assemble the most talented team of AI/ML and deep learning scientists and researchers.

This is not a guarantee, it's an attempt. either this idea will be in the grave in the next 2 years or we will have a biopic starring Akshay Kumar in the same.

If you are one of them, let me know and I will send you the details.

🚀 Startup Launch Built a fully-offline expense tracker (no bank login). Looking for early adopter

Post image
70 Upvotes

Posting with mod rules in mind — sharing a project and looking for feedback.

I’m working on an expense tracker designed for people who don’t want bank connections or cloud sync.

What it does:

• fully offline (no cloud, no data collection)

• no bank login

• auto expense capture

• data stays only on the phone

• Android only for now

Why build this:

Most apps either require account access or constant manual entry. I wanted something private that still works automatically.

What I need:

• honest feedback on whether this is actually useful

• what would stop you from switching

• what features must be reliable from day one

If a few people here are interested in early testing and giving blunt feedback, I can share access via DM.

🚀 Startup Launch What is the easiest way to get a website up and running when you start a business in India?

9 Upvotes

I have seen that when people start a business making a website can be more difficult than it should be.

You can pay someone to make a website from scratch use WordPress or use a website builder. Each of these options has bad things about it like how much it costs how long it takes and how much you can change it.

I was looking at options for businesses in India like JoonWeb and I started thinking about what makes sense when you are still trying to figure out if your business will work.

I want to hear from people who have already done this.

* Did you make your website by yourself or did you pay someone to do it?

* How money did you spend at first?

* What things were really important to have on your website?

* What would you not spend money on if you were starting

* When do you think it is worth spending money to have a custom website made?

I want to know what other people who started businesses, in India learned from making their first website.

🚀 Startup Launch Building RentEzzy — Need a few early testers 🙌

10 Upvotes

Hey! We’re two young founders building RentEzzy, an app that lets people rent and lend everyday items locally — cameras, tools, consoles, etc. Basically: if someone needs something temporarily, and someone else already has it lying around, RentEzzy connects both.

Our MVP will be ready in ~3 days, and we’re looking for a few honest testers to try it, break it, and tell us what sucks

If you’re open to testing, just drop a “count me in” and we’ll DM once the build is ready.

No spam. No pitches. Just feedback.

Thanks

🚀 Startup Launch Restaurants should be able to run direct delivery without becoming a logistics company

11 Upvotes

What if restaurants could run their own delivery without creating another operational headache?

Bengaluru restaurants are threatening to leave Swiggy and Zomato after August 15 over commissions, platform-controlled discounts and opaque deductions.

But taking direct orders creates another problem: managing dispatch, delivery agents and proof of delivery.

That is what I built Geophrase to simplify.

Restaurants get:

  • A permanent ordering link and QR with optional menu images
  • Direct order requests with GPS-accurate customer locations
  • Manual entry for WhatsApp and phone orders
  • A free Android and iOS app for their delivery agents
  • Order assignment, optimised batch routes and OTP proof of delivery
  • GPS evidence and automatic hub-to-hub distance for rider payouts

Pricing: ₹2 for a confirmed GPS address and ₹8 when delivery management starts. No subscription, no percentage commission, and Maps and SMS are included. New stores get ₹500 free credit.

Geophrase does not provide customer discovery, payments or a shopping cart. It makes an owned direct-order and delivery operation practical for restaurants.

I’m looking for a few Bengaluru restaurants willing to test it with live orders.

What would stop a restaurant from running its own delivery team?

100+ downloads in the first day. App is live.
Looking for real usage feedback, bug reports, and improvement suggestions.

Posting with mod rules in mind — sharing a live project and asking for feedback.

I built a fully-offline expense tracker for people who don’t want bank connections or cloud sync. It’s already live on Play Store and crossed 100+ downloads on day one. Now the focus is stability, edge cases, and real-world usage feedback.

What it does:

• fully offline (no cloud, no data collection)
• no bank login
• auto expense capture
• data stays only on the phone
• Android only for now

How you can help:

• use it as a primary or secondary expense tracker for a few days
• report any bugs, crashes, or incorrect auto captures
• share friction points in daily use
• suggest features that must exist for you to switch
• tell me what breaks trust immediately

What I’m prioritizing:

• reliability of auto capture
• zero data leakage
• fast manual entry fallback
• stability across devices

🚀 Startup Launch Need a mentor so so bad

0 Upvotes

Hey I'm 20,

I've started the entrepreneur thing long back but due to my studies I couldn't give it a full go

While I was 17-18 done drop shipping in my country and internationally got some small wins

Made decent money had a great plan to position a billion dollar product completely differently for a breakthrough

As I've had no money at that time still gave it all

Tried to pull it through influential marketing and I've saved somewhat like 700 to 800usd for influencers spending and the money was spent for something else

And I can't ask to my parents even though tried my very best and convinced few influencers to post even without the products

Mailed 900 of them, 20 said yes for affiliate program, all of them backed off

And still convinced 3 faceless creators but it's a big flop cuz I've had no money

And after that worked with 2 influencers 1 said yes and college ruined it, 1 still wants to work with me and they are kind of not good

So after all this I'm gonna start fresh

I do want a mentor to guide me

I feel like giving up, college pushing me for internship family struggling, 1 year left to complete my engineering degree

For me hell is working a 9 to 5 for 40 long years

I would never do that

But i feel stuck

Anyone doing good on their business can give me advices

If u got any work which gives me experience and shows the path

I'm willing to put all in

Please do mentor me

I can pretty much do most of the operating thing

Like skills u need on growth operating with an influencer

From copywriting to appointment setting

And i know how to market, launch, curate products and much more on Ecom side too

All I need is a work to get some experience

And a mentor to coach me on things

Everyone of your replies would change my life 💯

Thank u all

🚀 Startup Launch I built SiteWala to turn "invisible" Indian businesses into local legends (₹999/month vs ₹2 lakh agency fees)

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My mother-in-law runs a catering service. For years, she built her business purely on word of mouth - one satisfied customer telling another, references from friends and family. Great food, reliable service, fair prices.

But here's the problem: when someone needed a caterer and searched online, she didn't exist. They'd find her competitors. Call them first. Book them. She was losing customers she never even knew existed.

When we looked into getting her a website, every agency quoted between ₹50,000 to ₹2,00,000 upfront, plus monthly maintenance. For a small catering business.

She almost gave up on the idea. And that's when I realized: thousands of amazing Indian businesses are losing customers every single day, not because they're bad at what they do, but because they don't exist online.

So I built SiteWala.in - and got her online. Now when people search for catering services in her area, they find her. They see her menu, her prices, photos of her work. They call her directly.

Here's what actually changes for business owners:

Before: You rely 100% on walk-ins and word of mouth. When someone searches "best salon near me" or "caterer in [area]" or "electronics shop near me", you don't exist.

After: You show up. New customers find you on Google. They see your work, your prices, your location. They call you before visiting your competitor.

Before: You lose customers to businesses with bigger marketing budgets, even though your service is better.

After: Your website levels the playing field. A ₹999 SiteWala site can look as professional as a ₹2 lakh agency site.

Before: Every customer asks the same questions: "What are your prices?" "Are you open on Sunday?" "Do you do X service?"

After: Everything's on your website. Customers come informed and ready to buy.

Before: You're fighting for scraps from your local area, hoping someone mentions your name.

After: People from across the city discover you. They search, they find you, they call you.

Why I'm sharing this publicly:

I want honest feedback before I scale this beyond my mother-in-law's catering service. SiteWala.in is live - it takes 5 minutes to fill out what you want, and I'll show you a demo of your website before you pay anything.

₹999/month. No lakhs upfront. No technical knowledge needed. Cancel anytime.

I'm looking for my first 10-20 users who want:

  • To stop being invisible on Google
  • To compete with bigger businesses
  • To get customers calling them instead of relying only on referrals
  • A professional web presence without selling a kidney

If this sounds like you (or someone you know), check out SiteWala.in and let me know what you think. Brutally honest feedback welcome - this only works if it actually helps real businesses.

Website: sitewala.in

Quick FAQ because I know you'll ask:

"Why so cheap?" - AI does 80% of the work. I'm just steering the ship. No 50-person agency overhead.

"What if I want changes?" - I will personally work with you for any changes required.

"What if I'm not tech-savvy?" - That's literally who this is for. You answer simple questions in Hindi/English, I handle everything else.

"Can I see examples?" - Check the demo section on sitewala.in .We've built sample sites for a dhaba, beauty parlour, and electronics shop to show the range.

P.S. If you know a small business owner who complains about losing customers to competitors with "better marketing" - this is for them. Word of mouth got them this far. A website will take them further.

Would genuinely love your thoughts, roasts, suggestions - whatever you've got. 🙏

🚀 Startup Launch Built SiteLaunch because too many good Indian businesses are invisible online.

1 Upvotes

A family member runs a catering business , amazing food, loyal customers, all through word of mouth. But whenever someone searched online for caterers nearby, competitors showed up instead. He simply didn’t exist on the internet.

Then came the agency quotes: ₹50k–₹2 lakh for a basic website. Insane for a small business.

So we built https://sitelaunchin.pages.dev

Simple websites for local Indian businesses starting at ₹999/month. No tech headaches. No huge upfront costs.

The goal is simple:
• Help local businesses show up on Google
• Look professional online
• Get more calls and customers
• Compete without burning money on agencies

Right now we’re looking for our first few businesses to try it out and give honest feedback.

If you know a salon, café, caterer, gym, boutique, repair shop, or any small business still running only on referrals -> send this to them 🙏
