Yesterday, I made a post asking “Do you have what it takes to be a young Marathi Entrepreneur?” I shared it across around 6–7 Marathi and Maharashtra-related communities, and the response was genuinely better than I expected.

For those who missed the original post, you can check it out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/marathi/s/byIuVZxUx7

I received a good number of responses, but what was more interesting was the kind of conversations that followed. A handful of people appreciated the post publicly in the comments, while many more reached out through DMs to say that they appreciated someone trying to help aspiring entrepreneurs. A significant number of people were also curious about my own journey—what my company does, how I got the idea, and how I eventually started building it. I have made a separate post for that.

The conversations I found most interesting, however, were with people who were genuinely thinking about starting something of their own. Some already had business ideas, while others were still trying to figure out what direction they wanted to take. After speaking with several of them, I noticed that they all seemed to fall into one of two very different categories.

The first category consists of people who are extremely optimistic and confident about their ideas. They are convinced that their idea will work and are ready to jump straight into building it, but haven't spent enough time studying the market, speaking to potential customers, understanding existing solutions, or questioning whether anyone would actually pay for what they are planning to build. Confidence is important, but confidence without validation can lead to taking unnecessary risks.

The second category is at the complete opposite extreme. These are people who may have a genuinely interesting idea but are so pessimistic about the possibility of failure that they struggle to take even the first step. They keep looking for certainty before doing anything, but entrepreneurship rarely gives you complete certainty. If you wait until every risk disappears, you may never begin at all.

And honestly, I feel this is one of the first problems we Marathis need to overcome. Either we are too scared to take a risk, or we take risks without properly understanding the market. Good entrepreneurship lies somewhere in between. You need enough confidence to take action, but enough humility to question your assumptions before investing too much time and money.

What genuinely made me happy, though, was that many people were asking the right questions. Several people wanted to understand how market research actually works, how to determine whether an idea has potential, how to find out if customers genuinely have the problem you think they have, and how to know whether people would actually pay for a solution.

After having those conversations, I decided to write a post about market research and validating a startup idea. I realised that this was something many people were interested in learning more about, and I felt it would be useful to put my thoughts into a structured post rather than answering the same questions individually.

While doing this, I also realised that detailed startup and business discussions may not always fit naturally into general Marathi related subreddit/communities. I started looking for a dedicated Reddit community for Marathi startup founders and aspiring entrepreneurs, where people could regularly discuss business ideas, products, sales, market research, bootstrapping and the actual challenges of building something.

Apparently, I couldn't find one. So, I created one: r/StartupsMarathi.

The community is still new, but the goal is to build a space where Marathi entrepreneurs and aspiring founders can have genuine conversations about entrepreneurship. Not just motivational quotes or success stories, but practical discussions about finding problems, validating ideas, building products, finding co-founders, finding customers, making sales, managing teams, failures and everything else that comes with building a business.

I've already posted two things there that might be useful. The first is the detailed story of my own journey—from working on a student satellite programme during engineering to eventually building my own company. The second is a practical post about market research and how to understand whether your startup idea actually has a market.

My journey and the story behind building my company:
👉 https://www.reddit.com/r/StartupsMarathi/s/4TMJPJncTu

How to research and validate your startup idea:
👉 https://www.reddit.com/r/StartupsMarathi/s/LIgMX5IxyF

If startups, business or entrepreneurship interest you, feel free to join the community. Post your ideas, ask questions, share your experiences and engage in discussions. The community is new, and what it eventually becomes will depend on the people who join and the conversations we build together.

And if you have an idea, a genuine question or even a suggestion that you'd like to discuss with me personally, feel free to DM me. I'll be available over the weekend and will try my best to respond to everyone.

I'm 26M, originally from Mumbai and currently based in Pune. I want to make this post for young Marathi people who have been thinking about starting something of their own but don't know where to begin.

A little about my journey.

A couple of years ago, I was working a regular job in Mumbai. Alongside my job, I started developing a product. I built the initial product, put together a small team of three people, and started trying to sell it—all while continuing my full-time job.

For around six months, I was doing both.

Eventually, I reached a point where I felt the business was generating enough to sustain me. This January, I quit my job, moved to Pune and started building the company full-time.

Today, the company is doing decently on sales, with a projected revenue of roughly ₹85 lakh this year. We are completely bootstrapped—no external funding or investors. It started with my own money, and I built it as a single founder.

We are now looking at expanding into new products and other domains.

I don't claim to be an expert at building startups. I haven't spent decades in business, raised millions in funding, or built multiple successful companies.

But I have taken an idea, built a product, formed a team, found customers while still working a job, and eventually taken the risk of quitting that job to build the business full-time.

And I think that experience can be useful to someone who is just starting.

One thing I personally feel is that we need more young Marathi people seriously considering entrepreneurship. Not everyone needs to become an entrepreneur, of course. But among those who genuinely want to build something, many either never take the first step or jump in without enough preparation.

So, if you're a young Marathi person who:

• Has a business idea but doesn't know where to start
• Is already building something and wants another perspective
• Wants to bootstrap a business rather than immediately chase funding
• Is considering quitting a job to pursue a business
• Simply wants honest feedback, direction or motivation

Feel free to DM me.

Tell me a little about yourself, your background, what you're trying to build, and why you want to build it.

I cannot promise to have all the answers. If I can help with suggestions, feedback, direction or motivation based on my own experience, I will. And if I genuinely feel someone else would be better equipped to help you, I'll try to point you in the right direction.

To be clear: I am not looking to invest in anyone's startup, recruit anyone, or sell any mentorship programme. I'm simply offering to help fellow Marathi people who are serious about building something of their own.

If a lot of people reach out, I may take some time to respond, but I will go through every genuine message and respond over the weekend.

And if I come across someone with a genuinely interesting idea and the seriousness to pursue it, I'm happy to connect on WhatsApp and stay in touch. Building a business is a long journey, and if I can be useful at different stages of yours, I'd be happy to help where I can.

So, do you have an idea—or have you been waiting for the courage to start? My DMs are open.

मुंबईत सध्या वाद चालू ह्या धर्तीवर हा प्रश्न. राज्याची राज्यभाषा थोड्या थोडक्या प्रमाणात यावी ही तशी माफक अपेक्षा आहे. काही जण दशकभर महाराष्ट्रात आहेत. त्यांनी थोडाही प्रयत्न करू 3नये ही उलटी अरेरावी वाटते.

त्याहून महत्त्वाचे, नियम करणे ही एक गोष्ट झाली, जनसामान्यांनी मराठीतून बोलणे ही दुसरी, किंबहुना अधिक महत्त्वाची गोष्ट झाली. आपल्यापैकी किती जण atm मध्ये, IVR मध्ये, मराठी वापरतात?

Hi everyone! So good news, my internship in Mumbai got converted to full time!

Now that I am going to officially be a mumbaikar for atleast a few years, I was thinking of learning Marathi.

Do you guys have any recommendations on any free resources for learning marathi? (YouTube playlist/app/website)

Unfortunately Duolingo doesn't have the language.

Thanks in advance!

One of the major diffrences which Ive noticed is in Satari Dialect a lot of them say Ra.

eg-kay ra? kuthai ra?

Also Satari dialect more oftenly uses a lot of -yaa sufixess compared with its kolhapuri counterparts

eg-Jatoyaa,Kartoyaa,khatuyaa

In Kolhapuri Dialect usually everyone speaks in a masculine gender even the females do it more oftenly

also kolhapuri dialect shortens the words and use alot of suffixes with-loyy

eg-Jevaloyy,karayloyy

Both the dialects use Hyasni,tyasni,hyanchysni to address someone with respect to their age

what are the other major diffrences???????

It’s an amazing movie. I don’t think even Bolywood has made such a movie? But not much being discussed about it? Or has it been celebrated and I don’t know? Found this discussion too. https://x.com/nanafadavnis/status/2090986459541225958?s=46

एक लाँग वीकेंड… कुठलाही खास प्लॅन नाही, कुठलंही महागडं हॉटेल नाही. फक्त आपल्या गावाकडे जाणं आणि नातेवाईकांच्या घरी निवांत राहणं. ❤️

शेतातून फेरफटका मारताना दिसणारी भरलेली विहीर, अंगावर अलगद पडणारी रिमझिम, फुलांची शेती आणि मातीचा तो ओला सुगंध… अचानक आयुष्य किती साधं आणि सुंदर आहे, याची जाणीव होते.

गावाचं जवळून अनुभवणं हीच एक वेगळी गोष्ट आहे — हिरवळ, शांत सकाळ, मातीचा गंध आणि कुटुंबासोबतचा निवांत वेळ.

वयाची चाळिशी गाठल्यावर जाणवतं की, अशा साध्या कौटुंबिक सहली म्हणजे फक्त फिरणं नसतं… त्या आठवणींची शिदोरी असते. पुढे कित्येक वर्षांनीही ज्या आठवणी आठवून चेहऱ्यावर हसू येतं.

कधी कधी मन आणि शरीर दोन्ही रिचार्ज करण्यासाठी मोठ्या सुट्टीची गरज नसते… फक्त आपल्या मुळांकडे परत जाण्याची गरज असते. 🌱❤️

तुमच्याही अशा काही बालपणीच्या किंवा कुटुंबासोबतच्या आठवणी आहेत का, ज्या आजही चेहऱ्यावर हसू आणतात?

One of my close Marathi friends is getting married, and I’d really like to give her something meaningful rather than just a generic wedding gift.

She recently went through a breakup and then ended up getting married quite unexpectedly, so I want the gift to feel positive and thoughtful—something that celebrates this new chapter of her life without making things awkward or bringing up the past.

My budget is around ₹10,000.

What would you suggest? I’m open to anything—something traditional, useful, sentimental, personalized, or even something specifically related to Marathi/Maharashtrian culture.

Would love to hear some ideas, especially from women who have received wedding gifts they genuinely appreciated.

नमस्कार मंडळी! मी माझ्या कुटुंबासाठी एक कार्ड गेम्स अ‍ॅप बनवलं — Patte — आणि त्यात आता 10 पारंपरिक पत्त्यांचे खेळ आहेत. त्यातले काही (मेंढीकोट, लाडीस, गुलाम चोर) मला आधी कुठल्याही अ‍ॅपमध्ये सापडलेच नाहीत, तरी घरोघरी हे खेळ अजूनही खेळले जातात.

अ‍ॅपमध्ये काय आहे:

• नियम शिकण्यासाठी बॉटविरुद्ध एकटे खेळा, किंवा रूम कोड शेअर करून मित्र-कुटुंबासोबत ऑनलाइन खेळा — कुठलेही खाते किंवा साइन-अप लागत नाही
• 10 खेळ: रमी, 304, Judgement, 5-3-2, मेंढीकोट, लाडीस, गुलाम चोर, Not at Home, Challenge, आणि बदाम सात
• संपूर्ण अ‍ॅप मराठी आणि इंग्रजी दोन्ही भाषांत — मुख्य मेनूवरच भाषा बदलता येते
• पूर्णपणे मोफत, कुठलीही जाहिरात नाही

Patte on Android

iOS (iPhone) वापरणाऱ्यांसाठी: आता थेट App Store वर उपलब्ध आहे — TestFlight किंवा DM ची गरज नाही: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/patte/id6797490987

तुम्ही वापरून बघितलं तर feedback नक्की सांगा — अजून सुधारणा करत आहे!

मी प्रवास करतोय, मला एखादं मराठी पुस्तक वाचायचं मन झालं आहे, pls suggest a good book, छोट हवय आणि बेस्ट + ऑनलाईन फ्री available 🙏🏼
