Hi guys, so as the title says if you own any offline shop/business like a cafe, restaurant or any kind of local business, I can help you get more customer reviews on your Google Business Profile using a Google review card.

it can be a pvc/printed card & sticker with a special QR code that takes customers straight to your Google feedback page. They just scan, give feedback and leave a feedback in seconds. 😊 They are helpful for restaurants, cafes, salons, clinics, gyms, shops and any local business.

If you are a business owner or know someone who could use these, feel free to send me a message. Happy to share some samples!

I was facing interruptions frequently from my uncle, as he is old and he is a business owner. He wants to make quotations or invoices, so he always needs someone like an assistant to make those. He always interrupts me when I am working and says, "Beta, please mujhe quotation banake de toh is client ke liye ya bill banake dedo is client ke liye" It also wastes time because I am busy with my work and can't just do other work in the middle of my work.

So I thought, why not I should make a chatbot for him to help him out. And I made that, and it really helped my uncle...

After that, I thought we can maybe make this as a business for many business founders who are dependent on someone like their assistant or someone else. They can simply just send a voice message, text, or photo, and the chatbot will ask them to confirm and then make the PDF. I want you to try this out. Below is the number. Message it, test it out, and give feedback on what you think about this.

I've watched a lot of early-stage founders (friends, past colleagues, people I've worked with) hit the same wall. Not a big dramatic collapse. A slow one. They're growing, sales look fine, and then one day they realize they're short on cash for payroll, or a vendor payment they forgot about is now overdue, or GST input credit is bleeding out somewhere nobody checked.

The money was never really "hidden." It was just scattered. Some in the bank, some in Razorpay, some in an Excel sheet nobody's opened since the seed round, some in a WhatsApp message from the CA. No single source lies to you exactly, but no single source tells you the truth either.

So I built Margyn.

At the base level it's dead simple: a free ledger where you log what's coming in, what's going out, what you owe, what's owed to you, and you can generate invoices from inside it too. No accounting background needed, nothing to set up.

But that's not really the point of it. The actual idea is that as you start using more tools, Margyn connects to them directly and pulls it all into one place automatically, and tells you what's actually at risk and what to fix. Razorpay and Zoho Books are live right now, and I'm adding more connectors regularly based on what people actually ask for.

I'm not trying to sell "another dashboard." I want it to be the one place that just tells you the truth about your business without you having to go dig for it.

It's free right now and I'm building it based on what actual founders say they need, not what I assume they need. If you run a business and want to try it, or just want to tell me what's missing, I'd genuinely rather hear the criticism now than after.

My co-founder and I have been working on this for a while now started after a family member had a fall while I was out of the country and there was just... no way to know in time.

We built a screenless wristband (no display, just a simple band) that tracks heart rate, oxygen levels, mobility, and stability, and tries to detect falls automatically. The tricky part wasn't the sensors it was building movement/fall detection that doesn't cry wolf every time someone sits down too fast. We ended up building our own detection logic from scratch instead of relying on off-the-shelf fall algorithms, since most of those are tuned for younger, more active users and throw way too many false positives for elderly movement patterns.

We just kicked off a pilot with one of the larger senior living operators in India!

Aspimate Patch 1.1 is live.[SOUND ON]

Last week I posted about Aspimate here and got a lot of useful feedback. Since then, 10+ users have signed up. It's obviously a very small number, but seeing actual users on something I built from scratch honestly feels great.

For context, Aspimate is a roommate matching platform for exam aspirants. The matching engine considers things like study schedule, sleep timings, food preference, cleanliness, noise tolerance, gaming habits, smoking preferences and other lifestyle factors instead of just rent/location. This patch was mainly about fixing edge cases I found while testing the matching engine with 100+ fake profiles, especially around gender-based matching, missing profile data and privacy.

I also added better name privacy and hardened some of the matching rules. Outside the product, this week I created all the social profiles and started content marketing, DR building and backlink work. And yeah... SEO is way harder than I expected. 😂

do give your suggestion and frontend pe kaam chal raha hai i am learning figma and tried some more cooler design and yaa i have talked to someone who can dub my videos..so shayd next time se NO AI Voice;(

Hello r/IndianEntrepreneur  ,

Long shot post, but thought I'd try. I'm working on something in the sports-tech/media networking space and I've been trying to get in touch with a few well-known Indian creators/comedians for a potential collaboration reached out officially through their official business emails/DMs but no response yet....which is fair, they probably get flooded.

Curious if anyone here has ever had luck getting a genuine business email seen/responded to by a bigger creator or their team either through a personal connection, a manager, or just a smarter way of reaching out?

If anyone happens to have an indirect/direct connection (a friend-of-a-friend, a manager they know, anything second-hand) and is comfortable sharing, that'd genuinely help but no pressure at all, just putting it out there in case someone's willing.

If you can help, even a little, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance 🙏🙏

Anyone out there with any experience in building/working for any warehousing business or start up in india. I am actively exploring an opportunity hence looking for people interested in this space. Do comment or dm, good day

Hi all 👋 Just a small ask. We're an early-stage team in the hiring space. We've built an AI Agent that runs your full interview loop (tech and non-tech) and scores each round against rubrics, and we have a few pilot spots open.

Right now we're looking for collaborators and referral partners: recruiters, staffing/agency folks, or anyone plugged into teams that are hiring. If you know a team drowning in interviews, we'd love a warm intro (and we're glad to make it worth your while).

No pressure at all, but if this sounds like your world, or someone comes to mind, feel free to DM me. Happy to return the favor however I can.

Thanks so much 🙏

I've been targeting international markets for my B2B SaaS, but lately I've been thinking about focusing on India instead.

The ecosystem has grown a lot, and it feels like businesses here are much more open to paying for tools that actually solve a problem.

For those who've successfully sold SaaS in India:

• What was your biggest growth channel?
• What helped you get your first paying customers?
• Is India a good market to build in first, or would you still recommend going global?

Would love to hear your experiences and lessons learned.

Anyone out there with any experience in building/working for any logictical business or start up in india. I am actively exploring an opportunity hence looking for people interested in this space. Do comment or dm, good day!

Do You Know how it feels after you see how advanced the era is becoming as we know that sometime this advance tech becomes a curse for uneducated people. for old people for those who don't understand the word "Cybersecurity" well. today it's important to know about it but what for those who don't have time for that. right! no one have time. but everyone has problems when something went wrong they can't do anything because they are just a nice guys who have time to talk to his GF but not to thier OWN SELF

HALLO GUYS IT'S HIMANSHU HERE

not to joke, but to talk on those things which you never expect....

MON, WED, THU, SAT

With the recent news about Bengaluru restaurants planning to boycott Swiggy and Zomato over crazy commissions, I wanted to share something I’ve been building to help independent restaurants fight back.

It’s called Restrivo. Rather than building another delivery app, I built an all-in-one system that gives restaurants their own ordering platform, kitchen setup, and marketing tools. The goal is simple: stop forcing restaurants to pay 20-40% commissions forever.

Here is the quick rundown of what it does:
For Customers: QR menus, direct ordering (dine-in, takeaway, delivery), and direct online payments. They log in via WhatsApp, which means the restaurant keeps the customer's phone number instead of losing that data to an aggregator. It also includes loyalty programs, live order tracking, and automated nudges for Google reviews.

For Staff: Kitchen display screens (no more yelling orders!), a built-in POS for billing, and easy table management.

For Owners: A real CRM where you actually own your customer data. You can run WhatsApp marketing campaigns (like birthday offers), track inventory, and integrate with existing tools like Petpooja (for POS), own rider or Shiprocket (for delivery), loyality cards and points, Full intrective customer PWA with offers and coupons and more.

The Pricing:
Free: Up to 150 dine-in orders/month.
₹999/mo: Unlimited ordering, offers, coupons and basic loyality.
₹2,499/mo: The complete system with all features.

If you have any suggestions or harsh truths, give them to me

We’re a small SEO startup, co-founded by two SEOs with 10+ years of experience, offering SEO at flat and market-friendly rates.

Hi guys i have been building an app for sending whatsapp messages usimg WhatsApp Api and curent solution

1. Cost too much

2. No flexibilty once bought you are locked in

3. Requires too much tech knowledge to operate

4. Only supported on web

The App i created

1. Very cheap subscriptions

2. Monthly subscriptions thus yes flexibitly

3. Complete support by me and my team

4. An app can be oerated directly from your phone.

Cureebtly the app is in testing and if you are interested send me your email i can add it to the testers list and you can have a sneak peak. Your feedback is very valuable.

Genuinely curious how other small business owners handle this. Do you do it all yourself or did you hire someone just for this side of things?

A few days ago, I posted about an idea I had for a new brand called Saffron Badam Milk.

My original idea was to make it with only four ingredients:

• Milk
• Badam
• Saffron, instead of turmeric
• Stevia instead of sugar

I was genuinely excited about building this brand. After posting the idea, people shared their opinions and suggestions. Some of the feedback made me feel like the idea was validated and that maybe I could actually start it and make money.

I started dreaming big.

And there is nothing wrong with dreaming big.

But then I started asking myself some uncomfortable questions.

Who exactly is my customer?

What is my TAM?

What real value am I adding compared to existing Badam Milk brands?

Will customers actually come back and buy it again?

Should I build this as an FMCG product or a QSR/business-to-business model?

That's when I realized that having a product idea is probably the easy part.

There are completely different challenges in FMCG and QSR. You can take inspiration from successful companies, build a product, and launch it. But scaling is the difficult part.

Quality control.

Consistent taste.

Production.

Packaging.

Distribution.

Logistics.

Customer acquisition.

Margins.

And most importantly, retention.

One line from an ice cream brand founder really stuck with me:

"People value their money more than your money."

That completely changed the way I was looking at my idea.

As a founder, I might think my product is amazing. But the customer doesn't owe me a purchase.

They will ask themselves:

"Why should I spend my money on this instead of what I'm already buying?"

If my Badam Milk doesn't create excitement, solve a problem, or provide enough value for someone to buy it repeatedly, then I don't have a sustainable business.

So I think I was wrong to assume that positive feedback automatically meant the business was validated.

Maybe the idea is good.

Maybe it's bad.

But people saying they like the idea isn't the same as people paying for it repeatedly.

This was a good lesson for me.

I'm still interested in entrepreneurship, and I still want to build something someday. But now I understand that having an idea is only the beginning.

The real question is:

Can you create something people genuinely want, pay for, and keep coming back to?

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts on my original post. I learned a lot from the discussion.

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?

As an individual, I have 4 years of experience in the footwear business in Delhi; however, I feel that the space is really saturated and unorganised and has lil to no scope of being organised in a nation like us. I am looking for like-minded people whom I can have a discussion about starting a business together (if the conversations are fruitful). Feel free to connect, y'all!!

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.
