Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

A friend and I have identified a niche requirement for finance functions of listed Indian entities. We would need to build a tech platform which allows our clients to create some kind of a public web page, the contents of which would be managed and controlled by our back end. A SaaS / CRM solution.

Since we come from core finance backgrounds with primitive tech knowledge, please can you guide on:

- Would it be feasible to outsource the development of this software to an outside agency 
- What kind of employees would be need to hire once the platform is ready - they would need to troubleshoot, build on new features etc.
- What would the cost of development be? We are looking to self fund this venture and achieve some scale before seeking funding if required. 
- Any resources to read up to get better idea of tech? I have zero idea of languages, codes, platforms etc. 

Thank you :)

What's the scene with Indian FinTech companies, like Jupiter, Razorpay, Navi, Fi, Cashfree etc...

I see some of them have started hiring again, are they a good option to join?

Sharing frustrations with starting up a business. In my career I have raised over $30m over multiple rounds.

Co-founders in non-business roles get pushed out by politics. Sharing control with co-founders is messy, inconvenient, time consuming. Money lets you hire people who have to answer to you.

If you are not the main ‘Business person’ in a startup high chance you are disposable, no matter what skills you have. And it sucks to spend so much effort only to get bullied out and left with nothing.

Some investors will follow you on social media, if your business is not growing QoQ don’t post anything on social media that implies you are not working every weekend. They will ask why you are not working.

 If you are CEO, be ready for every random person to tell you how to run your business. Not in a ‘friendly advice’ kind of way, if you are the CEO you have a target on your back.

 Investors don’t know about your industry or have very dated knowledge. Some will just say random tips like ‘try web3’ or ‘try SaaS’ and blame you for following their advice when it fails.

 Your progress is measured against fraud companies who fake numbers, or the 1 in thousands who succeed. Get made to feel like you are failing to live up to super high expectations constantly.

 Employees work half your hours, off sick usuall one day a week, deliver next to nothing and expect 20% hikes every year because that’s what their friends make, or they read some dumb startup hires freshers at 20LPA. 

Smooth talking people with the same idea as you, no traction, never shipped a product in life, will raise a huge seed round due to 'pedigree' and spend it all on self promotion. You will always be compared to these clowns who find ways to lecture others while building nothing of value.

Dark side of starting up.

So much truth in everything you’ve written 
 “your progress is measured against fraud companies who fake numbers”  
  
 This has become just more prevalent over time. Confidently advice learnings from startups that are faking GMV or PMF metrics :)

I want to read in depth business case studies/stories from India. I also want to consume relevant startup news and updates. What is the best place to find such content? Seems like all good content is hidden behind a paywall. If I have to buy a subscription which one should I buy?
