India has a weird definition of “safe” and “risky.”
If you spend 20 years studying, get a job, and work for decades for a fixed salary, everyone calls it a stable career.
But start a business, go months without customers, and suddenly you’re “wasting your time.”
Nobody sees the years of learning, failed ideas, late nights and money you put into building something. They only see the result.
And if it doesn’t come quickly, they call you a failure.
We don’t really hate failure in India.
We just hate people failing outside the traditional path.
india has a very interesting definition of nepotism
if your dad owns a family business and you join it, people say you got everything handed to you
but if your dad is a senior executive at a multinational and gets you a referral, suddenly you’re a “high-potential young professional” with an “amazing network.”
same privilege. different packaging.
one gets called a family business kid. the other gets called a future leader.
and the funniest part? if the family business kid actually grows the company, creates jobs, and builds something meaningful, people still act like he should be embarrassed for not starting from zero.
apparently, inheriting a business is less respectable than inheriting an introduction.
we don’t hate nepotism in india. we just hate the version that doesn’t come with a corporate logo

I’m looking for a person who can help us bring in clients. We’re open to structuring this as a commission-based partnership or even sharing a % of mrr .
We handle the product, setup, deployment, and support and you’d primarily help us with distribution
your first 100 users won't come from your product.
they'll come from you. 👀👀
cold DMs.
cold emails.
awkward calls.
endless follow-ups.
distribution is painful.
