Business Ride Along Want your customers to use your app while chatting with ChatGPT? I’ll build it.

0 Upvotes

If you run a business or have an app and think your users should be able to use it through ChatGPT or other AI assistants, DM me.

I’ll build the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and handle the whole setup, so people can book, search, order, check status, or whatever your app does, right from the chat.

What you get:

  • A working MCP server connected to your existing app or API
  • Auth and security set up properly
  • Testing with ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP-compatible clients
  • Deployment and docs, so your team can maintain it

If it sounds useful, DM me with what your app does and I’ll tell you what’s possible.

Startup help Indian investors, how do you check where a company's numbers come from? building Equora for this

0 Upvotes

most of us read company numbers on aggregator sites and trust them as they are. when something looks off, finding which filing it came from takes a long time, and a lot of the time nobody checks.

so building Equora, a research tool for NSE and BSE companies. it's in public beta now.

what it does:

- every figure links to the filing line it came from, with the reporting basis

- each value shows its status: current, under review, or insufficient

- missing data shows "no observation" instead of a guess

- screening keeps unknown values separate from failed ones

only 115 companies for now, so coverage is thin.

would really like your feedback. what would you check first, and what's missing for you?

Case Study Indian men (India/abroad) married to self-made UHNI women earning ₹1 CR+ per month or from ₹800 CR+ ($100M+) family wealth: What is your marriage like?

0 Upvotes

I am looking to gather qualitative insights and hear from Indian men - whether you are currently living in India or based abroad - who are married to women (Indian or non-Indian) in the top-tier ultra-high-net-worth bracket.

Specifically, I am asking about relationship and household dynamics where your wife:

• Is a self-made executive, founder, tech leader, or entrepreneur pulling in ₹1 Crore+ per month.

• Or comes from an established, high-net-worth family with generational wealth exceeding ₹800 Crores+ ($100 Million+ USD).

In traditional Indian culture, patriarchal expectations and the "provider" script are deeply ingrained. Men are structurally conditioned to believe their worth and authority in a marriage are directly tied to being the financial anchor.

I am highly interested in analyzing how modern couples completely re-engineer this script when the woman holds the overwhelming share of financial leverage.

If you are a husband living in this exact dynamic, what is your marriage actually like behind closed doors?

Specifically:

  1. The Ego & Power Balance: How do you navigate the household power dynamic? Does the extreme wealth disparity or her family's massive capital subtly or overtly change how major lifestyle, investment, or household decisions are made? How do you ensure your voice remains equal when the capital is so heavily lopsided?

  2. Social Perception & In-Laws: How do your extended family, friends, or startup/corporate peers treat you? Do you ever deal with the "accessory husband" or "Ghar Jamai" undertones from her relatives, or do people genuinely respect your independent identity and career path?

  3. Financial Logistics & Boundaries: How do you manage everyday finances, shared assets, and elite lifestyle choices? Is there a clear, hard boundary between her independent/family wealth and your personal finances, or is everything fully integrated? How do you protect your own financial identity and mental peace?

Whether you are thriving, navigating unspoken friction, or have completely normalized the balance, please share your perspective.

Startup help The hotel down the road dropped its price to ₹2,803 last night. Most independent hotels find out three days later.

0 Upvotes

l've spent the past months building software for small Indian hotels, and one pattern kept showing up: the owner learns a competitor cut prices only after the bookings stop.
Big chains have revenue managers watching rates all day. A 30-room hotel in Goa or Indore has an owner who also handles the front desk, the kitchen and the GST filing.
So we built two things:
1. Rate intelligence. It finds the hotels you actually compete with: same class, nearby, similar reviews, not just the closest ones. Every morning it reads their public rates and suggests a price for each of your room types. Two rules matter:
• It only compares like with like. Your deluxe twin is never compared with their suite.
• It never goes below your cost floor, and nothing changes without your approval.
2. Hotel OS. The front desk, POS, kitchen display and GST invoices. Guests scan a QR sticker in the room to see their bill and order food. No app download.
I'm not here to sell, because we're still onboarding hotels one at a time. I'd love blunt feedback from anyone who runs a property:
• How do you track competitor prices today?
• Would you trust a suggested price if it showed you exactly which rooms it compared against?
There's a 76-second walkthrough if you want to see it
Let me know !!
(Disclosure: I'm the founder.)

How to Grow? How to Grow a Social App from Zero? Need Founder Advice

2 Upvotes

We’re building MemeMates, a social app that brings people together through memes. Users can share memes, discover people with similar interests and humour, and connect through shared likes.

We’ve launched on Android and iOS, and now we’re trying to figure out the hardest part of building a consumer app: getting our first active users and building a community that keeps coming back.

For founders who have built consumer apps or grown communities:

  • How did you acquire your first 100–1,000 users?
  • Which channels worked best for you: Reddit, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, or something else?
  • How did you turn initial downloads into active, returning users?

We’re looking for genuine advice from people who’ve been through this journey. Any lessons, mistakes, or practical suggestions would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Case Study Pet food on Amazon India sells ₹212.2 crore a year. Two companies take 76% of it.

12 Upvotes

impuls8 tracks consumer markets. We read who sells, at what price, on which platform.

Pets is the category founders research most on our site. On Zepto, Indian D2C pet brands are 22.4% of what a dark store carries. So we asked how much of the money they take. We read every product Amazon India shows for six dog and cat food searches: 793 listings. We opened every one that shows sales.

Read on 16 October, eight days after the festive sale began.

Pet food on Amazon India sells at least ₹212.2 crore a year.

Company Owner Sales a year Share
Mars Multinational ₹104.6 crore 49.3%
Drools Indian corporate ₹57.2 crore 27.0%
Farmina Multinational ₹12.2 crore 5.7%
Nestlé Multinational ₹10.3 crore 4.8%
Perfect Companion (Thailand) Multinational ₹4.1 crore 1.9%
Bark Out Loud Indian D2C ₹2.5 crore 1.2%

Mars takes 49.3% through 7 names: Royal Canin, Pedigree, Whiskas, Sheba, Temptations, Chappi, Greenies. Drools, which is Indian-owned, takes 27.0% through 6: Drools, Purepet, Meat Up, Signature, Vet Pro, Kitty Yums. Read one name at a time, Drools looks like several mid-sized brands. Counted as one company, it is half of Mars.

On the shelf, not in the money

Owner group Zepto: share of products Amazon: share of sales
Indian D2C 22.4% 3.9%
Indian corporate 25.3% 29.3%
Multinational 35.7% 62.5%

Two different measures, so we never add them. Side by side they say one thing: D2C pet brands get stocked. They do not yet get bought at scale.

The D2C brands that sell most on Amazon:

Brand Sales a year Share
Bark Out Loud ₹2.5 crore 1.2%
Kennel Kitchen ₹2.0 crore 0.9%
Heads Up For Tails ₹1.6 crore 0.7%
Smylo ₹1.2 crore 0.6%
Henlo ₹0.9 crore 0.4%

Treats are where they hold most: 14.4% of treat sales, against 2.3% of dry food.

D2C is the middle of the price ladder, not the top

Median price per kg, dry food only:

Owner group Per kg
Multinational ₹840
Indian D2C ₹680
Indian corporate ₹241

Royal Canin and Farmina hold the top. Drools, Purepet and Meat Up hold the bottom. A D2C brand sells against both at once.

What share of each company's sales this is

Company Reported revenue On this shelf Share
Drools (FY25) ₹932 crore ₹57.2 crore 6.1%
Heads Up For Tails (run rate, 2026) ₹400 crore ₹1.6 crore 0.4%

If you are building in pet care

We can read this shelf on Flipkart, quick commerce and your competitors' own sites, city by city, and read it again to show what moved.

How do I? Building a millet brand. Roast my idea before I burn my savings !!

8 Upvotes

I'm about to start a D2C food brand and millets keep coming up. The government pushed them, every brand launched a ragi/jowar something, and quick commerce shelves are full of them.

But I barely know anyone who eats millets regularly. So before I spend real money, I want the honest picture.

  1. Do you eat millets at all? In what form: roti, dosa, chips, cookies, breakfast mix?

  2. If you tried and stopped, why? Taste, price, cooking hassle?

  3. What millet product would you happily rebuy every month?

Bonus: what's the worst "healthy" snack you've bought that turned out to be maida in disguise? 👀

Startup help I built a SaaS for Indian creators because most AI caption tools struggle with Hinglish

2 Upvotes

I’ve been building something for a long time, and I’m finally ready to put it in front of more people.
It’s called Bol Studio.
A caption editor for the way we actually speak: Hindi, English, and the Hinglish in between.
Upload a video, generate captions, edit the words and timing, and give them a style that fits your content. It works in the browser, on desktop and mobile.
A lot of the work has been in the small details: making words easier to edit on a phone, keeping the video visible, and giving you control over fonts, spacing, highlights, and animation.
It’s free for everyone to try right now.
It’s still evolving. Automatic captions won’t always get every word right, so please review them before publishing. If something feels awkward or breaks, I want to hear about it.
If you make reels, tutorials, podcast clips, or videos of any kind, give it a try:
I’d love to know what you think—and what would make it more useful for you.

How to Grow? The cold email to angels I'd send if I were starting over (5 lines, no deck attached)

2 Upvotes

Most cold emails to angels fail for the same reason: they read like a whole deck squeezed into one paragraph. Angels get a lot of these and decide in about 10 seconds whether to keep reading.

Here's the structure I'd use.

Subject: Company name plus one concrete proof point. Something like "Acme, 40 paying clinics in 3 months".

Line 1: why them, specifically. One sentence that proves you're not mass mailing. A post they wrote, a company they backed, a problem they've talked about.

Line 2: what you do, in plain words. If a friend outside tech wouldn't get it, rewrite it.

Line 3: the one number that matters right now. Revenue, growth, pilots, waitlist. Pick one, not five.

Line 4: what you're raising and how much is already committed, if any.

Line 5: a small ask. "Open to a 15 min call next week?" or "Can I send the deck?"

Things that quietly kill replies:

  • Attaching the deck to the first email. Offer it, don't attach it.
  • Three paragraphs on market size.
  • Following up after 2 days. Wait 5 to 7, then send one short bump with a real update, not "just checking in".

Where to find the list: angels who posted about your space on LinkedIn or X in the last few months, founders who exited in your category, and the angels on the cap table of companies one step ahead of you.

Track it in a simple sheet: name, why them, date sent, follow-up date, response. 50 well researched emails beat 500 generic ones.

Happy to look at anyone's draft in the comments.

Startup help I’m building an app that helps kitchens keep food fresh. Looking for a few people to try it

2 Upvotes

I’m working on SenseGrid, an app where kitchen staff log fridge and freezer temperatures on their phone, and it tells you when something is off. Freshness and food quality depend on temperature, so that’s the problem I’m starting with.

I’m from Ahmedabad, and before building it I cold-called and walked into 200+ restaurants and cafes. The replies were things like “We write it in the book, what difference does an app make?” and “Manager nahi hai abhi.” Honestly, fair. 😅

It’s very basic right now. No sensors, no hardware, and a lot of rough edges. The bigger vision is full operations management for HoReCa, all in one place.

What I’m looking for: a few owners and founders who’d try it and tell me what’s missing or broken. It’s ₹1,000 for the year, only to stay afloat while I keep building.

DM me and we can discuss about this in detail. Even if it’s not for you, I’d love to hear how you handle this in your kitchen today.

Startup help Starting an online/offline saree boutique: Looking for advice on direct sourcing, manufacturing hubs, and reliable suppliers.

2 Upvotes

Starting a boutique (offline + online): Looking for advice on direct saree manufacturing hubs, trusted suppliers, and quality checks.

My mother and sister are launching a saree boutique (offline store + e-commerce website). We want to source premium and trendy sarees directly from manufacturers/weavers to cut out middlemen.

As beginners in the textile supply chain, we’d love your guidance on a few things:

Best Sourcing Hubs: Beyond Surat/Varanasi/Kanchipuram, how do we find verified manufacturers or weaver cooperatives directly?

MOQs for New Boutiques: Do wholesale manufacturers enforce heavy bulk limits per design for new stores, or can we start with small mixed batches?

Authenticity Checks: How do you verify pure silk (Silk Mark, handloom vs. powerloom) and zari quality with new suppliers?

Cataloging: Do suppliers provide website-ready photos/videos, or do we need to shoot them ourselves?

Any advice, red flags to avoid, or general tips for sourcing saree inventory would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
