okay so not that old. Try installing bumble, there’s a mode called “Bumble BFF”. Will definitely help you connect with locals and make new friends :)

I guess you can start from here itself, hehe.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi folks! Am new to the city, working for an MNC and recently got the role of Project coordinator (similar to PM) but along with this, I want start exploring the startup ecosystem here in Bengaluru. Am still figuring out my niche. Could you guys please suggest what kind of events I should attend to meet people, what are some of the X (Twitter), Reddit, Instagram or any other such SM pages to follow so that I am relevant with the things happening here? I am up for part time jobs and apprenticeships if available to start immediately or after skilling up myself with the requirements.

PS. As I am still finding my niche, any sector is good enough to begin with, but since I am a Biomedical Engineering Graduate, I would prefer something in the Medtech arena.

Exploring start-up ecosystem in 'luru

Hey Folks. Here for some advice…

Context: I’m 37. MBA+Engg Grad working. Big Blr Startup. Good Role in Biz. Married (Started dating 12 years back & then got married). 

I’m an extrovert/fairly social (Mostly hang out/around other people/friends around a similar life stage - age/work). Most of my friends from School, Engg & B-School are all over the place (we meet once in a year types), no one in Bangalore. Hanging around with people at work is not something I like to do more than once in a month. My wife, on the other hand, has a good set of friends, with whom I hang out quite regularly (guys & girls). 

For a while now, I’ve been thinking of investing some time into making friends/building relationships outside of my social circle (Not that I’m looking to cheat on my wife, but then sometimes it’s good to hang out with people who aren’t your partner’s friends or are already part of your existing work/social circle). 

In short - I’d like to meet unconnected new people. And I’m realizing that at my age, it’s not so easy to do so without seeming creepy.

About a year back, I met an ex-colleague (28F) over drinks (She was in town and asked if we could meet) - Super attractive and smart. It has 12+ years since I’ve randomly met anyone from the opposite sex alone for a meal/conversation (outside of a work meeting). At first, it was super awkward - uncomfortable pauses, loss of words, asking dumb questions, etc. Luckily, in a bit, alcohol kicked in and then it got much better… We still text & meet if we’re in each other’s cities with some time to spare. That’s when it hit me that I was good at making small talk, but have no idea what to talk about when it’s someone who’s some 10+ years younger. Seems like another generation (which it probably is)… While I felt so, I must also admit, I had a great time to be honest - the conversations were energizing/different and to be honest, a tad exciting too.

Analyst

I have left my full-time job, and now working on three ideas with different teams:

1. An Astrotalk equivalent with a working prototype: https://wa.me/message/XQ6DYPPUJYZCC1.
2. A digital 1st DSA for home loan distribution (still in the ideation phase).
3. A unique approach to solve for cyber security and infosec, in talks with a big tech client (inspired by Sprinto).

I am planning a trip for SFO in Aug. to knock on different doors for any synergies. I have no agenda for my trip, just meeting folks to see if any opportunities arise.  

I wanted to know from the community how to get intros and meet with folks there. It would be very helpful if anyone who has done this kind of trip and could share takeaways. 

TIA

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey folks, I'm a newbie in corporate town, currently in a bit slow paced work environment at an international bank, in their analytics team. I'm right out of IIT Bombay, and this was my college placement, the work culture and work life balance is really good, BUT I'm just 22 and I want a big learning curve. And ofcourse the pay is average (below avg but median as per IITB placements go).
I need advice from who've been in town on how do I not overthink and plan out stuff for a better learning experience and $$ ofcourse.
