Building products that people actually use.

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

POV: You walk in for a quick trim, and somehow it turns into a 45‑minute wait plus a full life update from the barber.

Grumming keeps it simple: find a nearby salon, book a slot in one tap, and show up on time

no calls, no chaos.

We believed the whole “build in public, vibe code your startup, anyone can build now” movement

So we did exactly that

We are student founders building Grumming
No rich background.
No big investors.
No elite network.

Just sleepless nights, coding, designing, pitching, posting and trying to survive while building a real startup.

We mailed platforms.
Posted on X daily.
Applied everywhere.
Made demos.
Shared progress publicly.
Tried to genuinely support and promote these platforms because we believed they support builders too

Today we already have:

• Microsoft for Startups backing
• $100,000 Azure credits
• Deel partnership/support
• Legal company documents
• Product vision
• Public presence
• Consistency

But still, most platforms only care when:

you already have traction
you already raised money
or you are already famous

Otherwise?
You’re just another user expected to keep paying subscriptions.

The startup ecosystem keeps saying:
AI makes building easier
Anyone can build now
We support founders

But when actual young founders ask for support to build faster, most platforms disappear.

No replies
No credits
No founder support
No ecosystem help

Just automated emails and marketing tweets
And honestly, this is the harsh reality most founders face

Everyone loves the idea of supporting builders.
Very few actually do it

We are still building Grumming regardless
With or without support

But the industry should stop pretending every platform is “founder-first” when most are just optimized for subscriptions and revenue

@shahnawazgg @Replit @raymmar @sarahli @MichaelMEmling @zhenthebuilder @amapel Thought platforms backing builders would actually understand early stage struggles too.
Got forms. waitlists and automated replies instead.

@shahnawazgg @GrummingApp Proud to be part of Grumming as we work on solving a real gap in the salon experience.
Focused on building with clarity, consistency, and long term vision.
Just getting started.💪

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

While most people see salons as small local businesses.

we see an entire industry waiting to be organized.

That’s the opportunity we are building for. @GrummingApp

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

The future belongs to builders who ship quietly today
and surprise everyone tomorrow...

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

Most industries didn’t change because people lacked ideas.
They changed because someone finally decided to build.

We’re building💪

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

Most startups chase trends.
We chose a problem hiding in plain sight.

Millions of salons in India.
Yet the booking experience is still stuck in the past.

We are building @GrummingApp to bring the entire salon ecosystem online.

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

Every time I walk past a salon I see the same thing.

Walk-ins.
Waiting.
Manual bookings.

In 2026 this shouldn’t be normal. We're fixing it.

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

India has millions of salons.
But the booking experience is still mostly offline.

We are building @GrummingApp to digitize the grooming experience.

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

We didn’t just build another booking app.

We rethought the entire grooming experience.

Grumming launches soon🚀✨

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

Imagine booking your grooming appointment in seconds…

Getting exactly the stylist you want. And discovering salons like never before.

That’s what we are building at Grumming.

@GrummingApp
Coming soon.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

This remarkable triumph reflects exceptional skills, determination and teamwork. They have shown outstanding grit through the tournament.

This victory has filled every Indian heart with pride and joy.

Well done, Team India!

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

Great companies are built quietly.
While everyone else is talking someone somewhere is building the future.

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

Focus on building real value.
The right people the right timing and the right execution change everything....

[Tabrez @tabrez_gg]

We are not just booking salon appointments.

We are redesigning the entire grooming experience.

⚡ Faster
🎯 Smarter
✂️ Effortless

This is Grumming.
