I have seen this as a startup that is getting funded on YouTube channel backstage with millionaires recently

Discord. It was more lively than this app. Wondering how’s the server doing now?

Why are so many people from Stealth (is it discord thing )

Nah. It’s because the company people are working at is not listed on Grapevine. Usually early stage cos.

Insight- Grapevine

Just curious if people are using this app regularly or is it some form of gimmick.

I am from Bangalore India, BTW.

How did you first find this app?

Operations Manager

There are various tech events organised in banglore for sure. I see many times, people share on LinkedIn, " went to this event and all". And then suddenly I think, why I didn't knew about this event😂😂. I would also had attended it.
Any tips, anyone??

How you get to know about events in Bangalore?

Research Engineer

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey guys, 

With a heavy heart and after 10-11 months of constant work I am shutting my startup down. Thanks for all the love and support.

What happened was I was able to build the product but couldn't raise enough funds to get the required gov. licenses to go live. I did build a demo mode to let people test out what the app was supposed to be and got more than 250+ sign ups.

For everyone who signed up and where asking me for the invite code sorry but please do test out what it was supposed to be. Use invite code- QWERTYUIOP to access the demo mode. All data will be deleted with in the end of this month so no worries.

Thanks again for all the love and support and let's see what I can build tomorrow.

Anyone used Salt app?

Hello everyone we’re hopefully going to be launching our MVP by the middle of January. Before that we wanted to market our app on Twitter and create some buzz. 

We are going with Twitter because that’s where we think we will have the best ROI. Indian Twitter is essentially a cesspool of folks from top Metro cities, who have high disposable income and are super opinionated— which is our TAM. Plus, I am assuming that it should be way cheaper than Instagram Ads. 

Wondering if anyone on grapevine has any advice on how to go about growing a brand’s Twitter page. 

Would really appreciate it if anybody here could help me out. 

Can discuss what we are building on email where I am reachable.

I got an update from this app I use for investing in startups. They have launched a mutual fund comparison feature which lets you compare your mutual fund performance with key insights with your friends in a very easy consumable format. 

Shows you XIRR, funds invested, portfolio diversity
Doesn’t show actual amount invested by both! 

Very cool feature! I’m very surprised because I haven’t see this in any mainstream fintech apps.

Really cool mutual fund comparison feature!

Hola folks, guide me on how to use this app

What’s a startup idea you had but you never built it

I’ll go first. Mine was a high quality alcohol delivery service. But I later realised how difficult it is to pull it off due to regulation.

Today, designers often get inspired by apps designed for audiences outside of India, even though they are designing them for Indian consumers.

While working with MPL, I got the same issue in one of the discussions, and that fueled me to think about this idea to work on.

Back in 2023, I decided to get this ignited and have curated screenshots of 5–6 apps as well. I was ready to launch, but unfortunately faced some issues while deploying it. I didn’t get help from an expert, got busy with other work, and ultimately had to stop working on it.

However, a few weeks ago, someone asked me which was the best domain I owned, and I suddenly remembered Screenrepo. I had two options at that point: sell it or build it, and I decided to build it.

And today, the platform is ready. Here’s the link: http://screenrepo.com.
