Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Has anyone here worked on two wheeler sales and loans?

Have hit a deadend. Help appreciated.

What are the best ways to underwrite and acquire micro and small businesses today on digital platform?

Seeing and hearing a lot of: 
"oh MSMEs are not digital in India", 
"Need a big field sales team", and 
"Have to go and physically collect documents to make it work" ideas

Any best practices that you have seen work apart from the orthodox?

Founder

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Forgive me my Sins

In 2017, after graduating, I joined a big IT corporate as an Associate Consultant (Engineer). My start date was delayed by six months, and four months in, I was benched with half my already very low pay.

Money was tight with rent and other expenses. My family expected me to start investing in jewellery and buying land.

I was new to Bangalore and wanted more money to visit bars and expensive restaurants every weekend. Wanted to buy a bike with good gear. Along the dream to have a girl riding behind me. Sab Aukat ke bahar.

As one does, I started looking out into startups. The problem - 0 relevant work ex.

So here it goes,
I had interned at a startup in college and knew what their documents looked like. Filled the 6 empty months in my CV with a job as a “SDE-I Android” working with the founder directly.
I spiced up my CV with claims of 2x load time, reducing costs, international team collaboration, and an award.
Some college awards to boot too!

I made a detailed fake job story, read interview books, solved questions and watched salary negotiation videos. Eventually, I got into a Series A startup with only having to make 1 fake certificate.
They never checked with my previous employers, and now I earn eight times what I would have.

The guilt and imposter syndrome haunted me until I started performing well. I still feel guilty, like last Holi when my family praised my achievements.

Just excused myself and went for a smoke and a ride out. The bike is here and it is a custom painted beauty.

Guilty thoughts still go by occasionally but I am becoming more and more comfortably numb to it every passing year.

I have since stopped outright lying and just partake in the standard resume inflation.

Had to let this out.

I am a resume liar

Product Manager

From last 15 days I am having a startup idea with no big players, emerging market in India, anyone interested to discuss or give suggestions for it. Field is cab services.

Looking for suggestions for startup idea

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. 

Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. 

So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. 

Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. 

I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. 

How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? 

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

How bad is the job market?

Just a advice: 
  
 Never do the assignment for any company.This company will ghost you every time after the assignment or will offer lower pay / lower position. 
  
 Companies just try to get ideas via the assignment

Where can I buy a 2nd hand 2 wheeler in HSR or nearby areas. I have heard that a lot of these dealers don't give proper RC and documentation. Any leads would be helpful. I have a budget of around 25-30k.

Please mention the name of your company and if possible the kind of role(s) it is hiring for.

If the company isn't well know, some context might help.

Which companies are hiring? (January 2023)

Last month I interviewed with NoBroker for a Demand Servicing Head position. The process went like this:

2 rounds of screening with HR/TA - was okay, good conversations. After which they scheduled an interview with the Business Head for the particular team. This interview went well too. 

After this they sent me an assignment - the longest assignment I've ever worked on as a part of the recruitment process. It asked me to write multiple detailed SOPs for the sales team, build a demand forecast model, and a complete demand generation plan for an oddly specific scenario. They gave me 5 days for it. 

I worked my a** off, desperate to get the job as I've been unemployed for some time. I did the assignment close to perfection - spoke to so many industry folks in real estate and made realistic assumptions, covering all possibilities. 

All in all I've not been so confident about my work ever like I was in this case. I submit and they acknowledge. 

Few days go by, I follow up, only to be given generic delay reasons by HR. Eventually, after more than a week they rejected me. When I requested for feedback on the assignment they completely ghosted me. 

I don't know why I'm sharing this here, but it's been hard. I've been jobless for > 5 months and every such experience completely shatters my already low self esteem further.

Disappointing Interview @ Nobroker

Hang in there, the efforts you made for assignment will help you somewhere in future. Good luck!

Hi All,

I am on the lookout for a Sales role (startups). Have 15+ YOE working for Hotel chains in the past and then transitioned into Startups ( 3 large unicorns) and have been on both B2B and B2C as well. Now working in a bootstrapped startup (profitable). Reason for leaving, company is great and is into Media (advertising). I look after their Business for one of the verticals, but since 12 years they havent set processes here in this place and now they have though of pivoting, but the people who have been here since inception are only used to one way of working and changing certain peoples mindset is becoming a challenge. 

I am trying other platforms, thought of putting it here and seeking help.

Software Developer

Hello,

I have been running my Recruitment and HR consulting firm as a proprietor for the last 2 years and doing pretty fine. I now have a good number of clients which suffice to expand our services. Hence, I am planning to set up an office in Pune and hire a team of recruiters. However, I need some funding of around 8 Lakh to run the operations. I heard about various MSME Loans but not sure how to go about it.

I am urgently seeking a help to understand the process.

Looking for mentor to guide me in obtaining MSME Loan for my small startup in HR and Recruitment Consulting firm.

Looking for Sales Guy for my Startup

Hi All,

I am on the lookout for a Sales role (startups). Have 15+ YOE working for Hotel chains in the past and then transitioned into Startups ( 3 large unicorns) and have been on both B2B and B2C as well. Now working in a bootstrapped startup (profitable). Reason for leaving, company is great and is into Media (advertising). I look after their Business for one of the verticals, but since 12 years they havent set processes here in this place and now they have though of pivoting, but the people who have been here since inception are only used to one way of working and changing certain peoples mindset is becoming a challenge.

I am trying other platforms, thought of putting it here as well.

I have total 6 years of experience working in product strategy roles in a couple of known unicorns and from tier 1 engg and MBA colleges. 

My team was dissolved back in nov 2022. I have been on a break since then as i had to oversee construction of our rental property back in my hometown. It was long pending. It is a vital income stream for my family. 

I have been trying for a job for last 2 weeks. I haven't been able to get interviews aligned in product / strategy domain.

Now I am getting restless. I don't know why hiring POCs are not reverting to my interests. Need help here folks. Am I in a soup due to career gap? What can I do to overcome this situation? Good ideas are highly welcome :)

Need urgent help..not getting calls :/

Are there any startups / e-commerce companies hiring for 0 to 1 type of roles ?

I work in Swiggy for one of their 0 to 1 investments. Have a pretty wholesome P&L role. But the situation is precarious cause of the recent layoffs.

Was wondering if any there are any good early stage / 0 to 1 type roles in the market !
