I think DrinkPrime is the worst designed app that also does not work when I am trying to recharge it...

Good startup. Except I wish their purifiers could be smaller.

Anybody else using Drinkprime in Bangalore?

I am shifting Sarjapur to a 1bhk flat, don't have much furniture other than a mattress and cooking essentials. I want to know if it makes sense to purchase or rent as I'm not thinking of staying in the same flat for more than a year. I will be living alone with friends crashing over the weekends sometimes.

If you know some place nearby Sarjapur for renting stuff cheap or any help setting things up is appreciated. I have only checked on rentmojo (seems the best option as of now), furlenco (expensive).

Where do you rent your furniture/ appliances from?

Great pre-marketing, but is this a new auto insurance product? Something new altogether? Felt a little confused after the video

Hey, so I recently moved in a flat and it was semi furnished. I am missing a water purifier here. 

I am against the idea of setting up a water purifier of my own pocket since:
1. It's costly 
2. My company is not doing good so I might have to look for another job after 3 months or so

What can I do right now to have drinkable water.  Ordering water jar everyday is also costly.

Thanks for your inputs!!!!

Drizly down! What goes next?

Proud to know that my water purifier company has also gone the VC route. Kudos folks!

With this funding, the startup plans to develop its product portfolio and strengthen its IoT feature

What are some of the worst dark patterns you've seen?

Basically the title. What is a business idea you saw or heard of and thought "surely this can't be real" but the other person was totally serious?

I'll go first - a CEO I was talking to went in detail about meeting this student (emphasised on destiny and how bright the student was, etc etc) and said his idea was - Companies can't advertise on their carry bags by law so we should buy that advertising space and sell it to other companies.

For clarification - Courts have said a consumer can't be a buyer as well as advertiser, so if a carry bag has the brand's logo or something on it, you can't charge for it.

This CEO and the "bright student" thought that the law just prohibited the brand from advertising its own self on the bag. I asked him if he was trying to say we should buyout the space on all McDonald's carry bags and advertise Domino's or Reynolds on it, and he said "Yes."

What is the worst business/startup idea you've ever seen?

A bit off topic, but can anyone please share genuine tips to stop the fall of hair. Bangalore water is abysmal..

Hair Fall in Bangalore

This is an after thought from what happened at Mojocare and Gomechanic. 

I too have been at a startup that was upto similar stuff. Was really large at one point, until everyone figured something was off. 

For me, the first year or so I never got a hint of things. But over time, as I became closer and more trusted by the founders, things became quite clear. Creation of invoices for the sake of it, recording transactions that were anyway happening in the offline world, as transactions on the platform. Basically buying invoices by giving back businesses some of the VC capital as incentives. It was all messed up.

I always thought of doing something once I figured it out, but ended up not doing it. My only action was to find new roles, and leave as soon as I could. 
I remember discussing with friends - should I reach out to journalists? The answer we came to was that it's too risky, even if done anonymously. AND, that people we know would lose their jobs if the reality came out.

Eventually, it did come out. More people lost their jobs, because in that 1 year they ended up growing more and hiring more. Maybe if I'd been a whistleblower earlier, a lot of money could have been saved, so many jobs would not be lost.

A thank you to the people who have been braver than I was.

Like fuck me, the entire video about the real world car moving through the real world, entering an actual garage and all of that to in the end basically sell me a tracker for my e-Challans and Fastag.

🤦‍♂️

Anyone else also thought CRED Garage was about actual Parking?

I get that they are grabbing some eyeballs with their marketing but that should only count for so much?
