What if I have close to 10 lakhs + in cash. Can I start something in these cities which can at least generate a monthly income of 40/50k for a sustainable long term. If not what’s the capital needed? Please note I don’t have any business prior expertise Uncertainty in tech sector has left me stressed. I need a minimum of 45-50k to sustain. I need some ideas. Lets discuss.

Hey folks! GV is such an amazing community of super smart people. I hope this will be of help in my professional career. In selling generally you highlight the most important things first. This is not an attempt to sell but to build a long term relationship. Hence more of a story telling approach. Please excuse if you find this uncomfortable. Let's start. A little about me: sharp guy, with intellect and amazing pedigree, 6yrs exp. Great in strategy, business operations, finance. Trying to learn tech since last 4 yrs. Personally, hard to work with in a team, not a people pleaser but committed and loyal. Girls please excuse (find it more comfortable working with guys, not trying to discriminate just my preference) Okay so what i have done. Actions speak larger than words. Over the last 4 yrs I have developed deep understanding of tech world. I believe tech can be a great enabler in transformation of every business process today. So much that i am in an IT department today. i have built understanding of the high level systems, architecture, models, algos etc. But I can code properly. I am very bad at it. So what i want to do now. There are bunch of ideas that i want to try and build. But just stuck because i don't have the full stack development skills. I have made peace with coding inability because i can be good at every skill. Sharing these ideas openly for folks to copy and build. Ideas are just 10% of the work done and probably none novel but i still want to build for various reasons. In most cases, I am not looking to make money or business to build but more to transform current processes. Eg. Real estate - why is there no portal where tenants/buyers can rate landlords/sellers and provide feedback about them. Bom and blr is such a hot market. Brokerage is an unorganised market which nobroker is trying to solve. Energy - 24hrs electricity cost is 5-6rs as per government tenders but industries buy it at 10-12/unit. Rest in comments.

Or might build in the future

The general advice that I have heard is to just keep learning and enter the workforce when it is normal again. But I thought for some people, this is the push that they needed to build their own startup or business. Sitting without any job that screw anybody's mind so this seems to be an option too. Funding is dried up but people with a good enough runaway can start a business together in a bootstrapped manner. Even if you return to the workforce right now, there isn't a guarantee you'll be getting your previous CTC, the previous WLB. Companies are trying to cost cut by overloading on a per employee basis and raising competitive nature between teammates themselves. If you getting this much toll, 70 hours per week in worst cases, might as well put that effort on your own venture. Building a startup is risky. But when your current job is itself risky, doesn't seem wrong to build one. But popping up of such small scale business doesn't happen much. Why?

Looking for sectors to focus in the near future - want to get into entrepreneurship’ What do the people of India - any solid sectors that can have a great impact or be looked into Love to hear from anyone on this - looking for problem to work on And hopefully build a start up in few year or two Anyone ?

This might be a lame post altogether but here I go. I have had an idea of a product / platform since about an year it targets primarily a category of small scale localised businesses(no not grocery stores but similar nontech domain where the tech is the enabler), what I have achieved (my background is 2year exp backend engineer) in the last year is a minimum viable backend of the same and a market fit survey with about 10 local businesses (who were interested) Now coming to block am facing right now is with business/legal formalities to actually make it official, don’t really know where to start looking for even guidance on “how to start” with those legal “stuff”. Another thing thats equally annoying is whoever I want to make this idea happen with always seems to interested and invested at start few days and eventually they fade out with no actual output of excuse of being busy, am not really what am doing wrong here. In my mind why I need a cofounder is to handle the frontend(this is what feel I need cofounder for). Any advise from anyone who are willing share some of their thoughts?

Guys, I am living in a remote part of Rajasthan and working remotely from there as a software engineer. For almost 12 years (for education purposes), I was away from home, but this recent switch gave me the opportunity to spend some time with my parents. While staying here in the village, I am thinking of contributing back to the village. I am thinking of starting weekly workshops where I would visit schools, interact with student, and help them be aware of technology, the internet, etc. Need your help in getting some more ideas about what can I cover in these workshops. Also, I would like to know ways you guys think of contributing back to society. May be not now, but I'm sure many people do think of doing something for others someday. I will be here for almost 1.5 years, so I want to make it count. (That is my plan, but things can change)
