Startup Idea- Grapevine

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am a Software Engineer living in a rented house in Bangalore. I don't have any property. I  want to start a side gig of selling printed T-Shirts in the USA. I think I have some good ideas on design and I think it can act as a good side income. I tried some online websites that offer such services, but soon I realised I need more. I need a TIN number, a business bank account, company registration and trade mark, filing taxes- not sure about us india tax compliance rules. 

I believe there will be a hell lot of other paper works that would be required. Now I just have some creative ideas that I want to give a try as a side hustle but thinking about setup I feel demotivated. I can bear the idea of what if the hustle fails, but I don't know what to do with trademark and business registration after the hustle fails, can I reuse it for some other kind of businesses? 

Has someone tried or thought of trying such side ventures? I don't want to leave my job and  do this.

Is there some subscription service available in India that helps setting up business where an individual like me can try his hand at various entrepreneurship and fail and fail fast and continue until succeeded ? Like, I would love it if all these heavy lifting of setting up business, auditing and taxes are taken care of by someone else and I just focus on the creative part.

Hey grapes I have an idea for a startup that could generate millions in profits but I was wondering how and ways to approach angel investors, vc's etc for funding? Will they steal my idea and build their own startup?Do I need them to sign an NDA before pitching? Where and How can I contact them for the same?

P.S: I do not know anything about raising funds and a newbie. Looking for help.

Stealing the startup idea

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi, 
I resigned from my job to do startup. I have no good Idea now.

Anyone have any idea that you really believe will work but you don't have time , energy or motivation to work on.

Can you share it if I also believe in that idea i will work on that. 

If the idea do well or I get funding. You can join me as Co-founder and we will make it big.

A Startup Idea that You believe will work.

How do I start 
1. To check if it's viable
2. It's in B2C space and can be extended to B2B also ( but lots of competition in B2B but not B2C due to independent small firms)
3. I am from tech background so I can handle that but the idea need operations and few domain experts
4. I will have to leave my current job since I am working in a startup, all 6 days 10+ hours. How much run away should I be sure of, before jumping full time into it.

Tell me best ideas to start own company

System Engineer

Me and my friend are desperate to start a business. We’ve got no experience, no previous background though. We have a ton of ideas, constant thought ( to the level that it sometimes causes anxiety) about quitting our jobs and starting on our own.

We don’t even have a company registered yet.

Both of us earn handsomely as of now and work in MNCs. 

The liabilities are very minimal for either right now.

We plan to start a consulting business and then branch out from there towards a product, because profitability is important for us.

Should we take the leap of faith?

Should I quit my job to start a company ?

I am 27, and I have a well paying job in Bangalore. 

I want to quit this job and try my hands on entrepreneurship. I feel like I can do much more than what I am currently doing and have a more fulfilling life this way. 

Unable to see a lot of risks I have a 2 yr runway with savings. Parents don't have financial dependency. If everything fails I can restart my life in the next 1-2 years. 

Looking for perspectives and things I should consider before taking this step.

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Planning to leave the job and start a business. Want to work on a good tech startup idea which can scale.

What is the good startup idea in India to start?

Engineering Manager

1. I am having a strong problem statement, which is thoroughly validated, along with a business plan, but I am not working or starting it as I lack confidence because I don't have a team in place.

( I am an IIM graduate and currently a product manager - giving these details just to get a sense of my background, which might help in the type of suggestions from your side).


2. How can I find a co-founder/partner/core team member? Please advise me on where to look for co-founders or people that share a similar mindset.

Need Advice - How to begin working on a Idea/Startup ?

I have a business idea, similar to takeaway food cafe stuff, planning to start from my own town (Tier2). Have done enough market research in the last few months and am sure enough to generate 1-2lakhs in profit with one store(will expand more to different cities asap).
But is it really worth it? I am a recent CSE graduate, and I fear that if I invest all my future time in this I might miss opportunities to start bigger scalable companies in the future as I would also miss the corporate ladder bus.

Should I start up?

1. Novel/new business idea 
2. Degrees/MBAs
3. Experience/reputation
4. Money (hardly 20-30k to register company)
5. CTO
6. Employees/Co-founders
7. External investment
8. Website/app
9. Social media accounts
10. Office location (register home as office)

Far too many people focus on needing xyz before starting up. Most of them are excuses and self-imposed roadblocks from what I've seen in my conversations with people.

I'm currently working on 2 ventures that still have many items missing from this list. Doesn't really stop me from making revenue and profit.

Sure, there may be some things required from this list for specific businesses and at diff stages. But they are mostly an extra, good to have but not required.

What is required in copious amounts is courage and will power, willingness to face rejections and ability to withstand multiple failures only to get back up and try again. Also, a healthy enough risk appetite.

I hope to see more young and talented folks (especially MBA grads) start their own thing some day. Best time is in your twenties and early thirties, when you have little to lose. 

If you have any business ideas you want help with, I'd be happy to discuss and share contacts and resources if required.

Good luck soldiers, see you in the arena 🪖

What you DON'T NEED to run a business/startup/side hustle

Product Owner

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.

Do you think people would be interested in a website that is purely a catalogue of new & upcoming startups?

I have ideas about quality control and revenue models.

What is the best way to start your own company with no money?

What is the best way to start?

I am addressing folks who have progressed in their careers enough to earn at least 30 LPA.

If you are earning this much in India, you are already in the creamy layer of lifestyle. You can afford a decent house, a decent car and probably save up some assets for children's education (A lot of people bring up the expensive school fees). 

If you get a salary hike from 30LPA to 40LPA, there is a high chance that your lifestyle will not change that much. Your savings will go up, but still it will take years to retire early in either case. It's quite apparent that if you want to improve your lifestyle at this stage (highest-end middle class), you will require an income source capable of providing leverage and exponential growth.

Barring a few folks I know, everyone else is busy grinding leetcode, mugging up system design for their next job switch or even worse, kissing ass for the next promotion. 

Why don't enough people start learning about business on the side and slowly start investing their free time in learning everything they can about it ? I am sure it will be a much better time investment if you play your cards correctly for a long enough time (I am pretty sure this is still a quicker path to riches as compared to 30 years of SIP investments).

Note: I completely understand that many people have monthly payment obligations like EMIs. And that's why my question is about 'aspirations'. I am not asking 'Why are people not leaving their jobs to pursue entrepreneurship?'. I am rather asking 'Why are people not even thinking about anything else apart from the next (disappointing) hike?'

Why are there not enough folks having entrepreneurial aspirations?

Being an entrepreneur isn't about skills, its about temperament. 
  
 The former is coachable, the latter isn't.  
  
 That's why you don't have everyone jump head first into being an entrepreneur.
