Founder

I want to develop a physical electronic product. Are there any good startups in India who help with prototyping and scaling innovative physical products?

Software Test- QA

I have an idea that I want to work on, it’s not unique but solves a real world problem. 

While I can sort out the end to end implementation from engineer side of things, currently struggling with “designers block” (not sure if that’s a thing, but you get my point).

I have very basic design, but i feel a good design can bring the app to life. Here are my thoughts- 


- Tried looking on dribble but mostly people leave one or two screenshots and that too without the figma/prototype. 

- where do you guys take inspiration from while working on any new idea?

- Considering I want to hire someone, what would be an approximate cost of an app of 8-10 screens. (apologies in advance, this might sound stupid but not sure how designer charge)

- Considering I want to learn/improve stuff, where do i start? have worked with figma and xd in past, can draft an average UI.

Design folks of grapevine, where do i find some good prototypes?

I am very serious about this one idea and I think it would be very useful for me and my family.

So, I want to ask the founder and the pms here "How can I validate this idea".

I don't want to jump right into creating this product without some validation.

There is a global competitor for this idea, but they have very small download number around 15k downloads across both platform (apple+android).

I have a budget of 5k ruppee to validate this idea.

How do I validate my idea?

Hey - am starting up in stealth. Have limited to no tech understanding. The product I am building requires some basic tech. Any suggestions on how do I go about hiring / getting external help for the tech piece?

Investor

I have an idea for an app, which I would like to develop on the sides and do some beta testing and figure out if its scalable. However, I am not a tech guy and do not have idea about app development. Looking for suggestions on how to go about it. Learn app development from scratch or reach out for help? 
How long would it take to learn from scratch vs how much would it cost to get a beta version made?

Program Manager

I am working on a product(more or less thinking about it). I need to build a team of designer(s), tech folk(s) and a lot more.
The issue being ₹₹₹. How do you build teams that work on having an equity share and have an understanding of shared ownership? 
Where/How do I identify such people?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Have a Kid and I'm 34 years old.

Should I continue struggling at my Solopreneur startup, or outsource operations, put in auto-pilot mode and go back Job hunting? 

Ideally should have had at least 40-50 LPA worth of assets or savings, but have barely 80K.

What should I do?

Startup in into IoT Product Manufacturing...

Went from 5.5 LPA to 5K/month 8 years back to focus on startup. Now barely making 30-70K/month when Job would have ideally offered 30-40LPA.

I have a product idea that I want to build. It is not something super unique or innovative. A few products are already in the market to solve the use case but it's fairly simple to build and has a decent potential to reach 1 mil ARR. The market is not cluttered and the need is solid. My problem is that I am a career marketer and I don't want to boil the ocean by trying to build the product myself. As a remote employee for the past 3 years I have lost any chance to make a techie friend and whatever old contacts I had are either in better position or have started up already.

I have enquired with a few remaining people but it was unsuccessful. My idea is continue with our day job unless we crack at least 3 customers and then go in full time. Is anyone interested? Can someone guide me a better place to find a cofounder?

Was asked this question in a PM Interview at a unicorn Fintech based in Bangalore. I tried my best to answer but just trying to understand what PMs here would try to solve this?

Hi 👋 

Engineer’s who are doing side projects, what can be a good approach for a person who has the idea but don’t have much time to implement it. 

Should the person be hiring a freelancer or do you have any other idea here?

I last did a full fledged PM Role 5 years ago at an early stage startup (B2B SaaS). Post that moved on to building my own startup, spent the early years exclusively hands on the product (0-1) but last 28 months or so since my cofounder joined, I let him manage the product strategy and lifecycle since I had to take the lead on Sales and other aspects 

My current work with regards to product is more or less product vision and feedback. I feel I need to up my game in building my product skills to a higher level now as the product is getting mature and we are aiming to go global soon. I unfortunately don’t have anyone to mentor at the moment. 

How should I go about doing this ? Do you think going back to something like a product school for a 15 week Program could help ?  The outcome I hope is set myself on the path to become a good Product Strategy leader with reasonable acumen on processes and systems and at the same time translate the learning to help scale the product better.  

Would be happy to take some ideas or places to look at for one. TIA

I’m a 3rd year integrated msc chemistry(5 year) student from NIT Warangal and I have an exit option after 3rd year also, i.e with the bachelors of Science degree and as of now I have decided to go with this. But the major concern for me is that my college won’t be allowing me for the campus placement.
I have done internships and projects in product domain.
I am looking for opportunities, so that I have a offer to join from May. Any idea How should I go about this?

I am from a non-tech background (finance guy to be specific). I am aiming big and want to start a fintech startup but I don't have any CS engineer friends to rely on. 

I invite you all to guide me how to find a tech co-founder or even a partial-CTO who can program my vision into an app and also maintain it until I can afford a full time one.

I know that I can get it done with any software company but I have trust issues in sharing my idea with a stranger (knowing that how easily can an idea be stolen).

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.

Shutting it down

I have a self funded startup and am looking for product studios that can help with MVP launch under 5 lac ( strictly under that figure ) I have tried contacting some of them.individually but could only find those charging 7 figures.
PLEASE HELP

Product studios that make MVP under 5 lac

I'm so eager to join a company that operates within a Microservice architecture, leveraging technologies like Kubernetes, Docker instances, Kafka, and NoSQL databases. I value a focus on design-oriented development, adherence to strong OOP principles, clean code practices, and the utilization of engineering diagrams.
If you're aware of any product-based companies that align with these engineering practices, I would greatly appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!
Preferred locations are Chennai, Bangalore and Coimbatore
