Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Other than the popular ones like Zoho and Wingyfy are there lesser known bootstrapped startups  whose stories have not been widely spoken? Indie devs and small team stories also work.

Are there any bootstrapped lesser known tech company stories you can share?

Since yesterday night I have been unable to reply to anyone in one go in pops. Last night, I had to resort to closing and reopening the app 4-5 times, only then I was able to send replies. Today morning it seems that luck has also 'expired' :) I was trying to reply to someone as they had asked me a question, but after 20 minutes, I had to resign to DM them. 

I can understand that bugs happen, but if the app is going to cause this much of frustration to send a single reply (that too I only went through because I wanted to help out), you can be assured that your users are just going to call quits on GV.

P.S. The system 'back' button also doesn't work with pops. I can only close them from GV app's back arrow. This has been the case from the starting of pops.

GV team, the pop section is really buggy

@unpaidIntern could you please look into it. 
In unpaid Intern we trust :)

GV immediately shuts down as I open a chat!

Can you please check

It is triggering the f out of me

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Overview: 
Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. 

What is happening:
Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. 

Why am I concerned:
I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. 

I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later.

I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. 

People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? 


Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

Will an MBA destroy your life or make it better?

It hasn't been a long time since I joined, but up until a few days ago, when I used to refresh GV, I rarely used to find any new posts. Lately, I always find a new post?

Seems like GV is growing 💜

Are users of GV increasing?

I took some days to go through the News feature on GV and it's an intriguing twist to how we read news.

I've been using inshorts, Google News and was even the early adopter of Artifact (AI news aggregator made by Instagram founders). The USP built by GV is quite fitting to the user personas and kudos to the team for creating a seamless feature. Even changing content type is quick and seamless.

Goes to show that interesting products can be built just by understanding the user persona and TG well, by making something "boring" and turning it into something interesting while making sure the context is not lost.

GV News is 🚀

I don't know why everyone is making a big deal out of layoffs. Even the ones who laid off are not that concerned than the ones who comment.

Laid off employees literally get free money upwards of 10 lakhs in many cases of senior developers who are laid off from top tech startups. Companies pay severance equal to 3-6 months salary of laid off employees. Some even offer other benefits as well.

I personally know a couple of Devs who got around ~9-10L in severance pay. So, yeah if there are layoffs happening in funded tech startups or leading tech companies, considering their pay range, laid off employees get handsome severance pay including employee benefits

Layoffs a big deal? Positive side of layoffs

Hope you get laid-off & get a good severance package! Will see how your job search goes.

Except GV, none of them is shipped from India.

Social media has evolved like anything.

Now my 90% time goes to GV and distant 2nd is Twitter and LinkedIn etc.

GV can be really big if things go right 👍

LinkedIn has 100M+ users in India, so TG is huge.

Monetization should be done in such a way that it doesn't snatches the charm of product unlike other SMs ex quora.

Any suggestions to make GV a better product gvians?

Grapevine 🍇 is 1,00,000+ strong

As some of you might be already knowing there were unofficial GV meetups organised recently in Bangalore and Delhi/NCR.

So please use this post to share your experience so that it may inspire other cities' Grapeviners to do something similar.
