Or might build in the future
I’ll go first. Mine was a high quality alcohol delivery service. But I later realised how difficult it is to pull it off due to regulation.
BevMo is a huge company in the US doing the same
Yes, regulation will kill this It's legal now in West Bengal and a few places
Other states might open up, but very tough to crack. Some alcobev tycoon may crack it one day
Wait, quick alcohol delivery isn't legal in other states?
I want to build a SaaS platform for knowledge management. With all the developments in LLM space, it is very much required. As an estimate, in many big corporates 20-30% information just goes missing in documents.
I was thinking of a Pet Insurance startup. Like how Acko is focusing on Insurance for cars, Jobsurance for layoffs.
A marketplace similar to PolicyBazaar. I feel there’s a huge potential here because in my own friend circle 5 people have adopted dogs in last one year.
Vet bills are costly as fuck. My dog had parvo and it costed me ₹25,000 for three days of treatment.
Huge potential if done right. Content marketing karenge Ditto jaisa toh set hai.
Also, a lot of people would say that everyone does it. Yes, they do, but there’s little to no focus on it. Exclusive company for Pet Insurance would be massive.
Ahh! Pets are definitely going to be huge in India. Their health insurance could be interesting - but I think all the models get messed up as they live a much shorter life than humans
ED, Hairloss, Diabetes an end to end platform which is not a scam. I still believe there is a big business one can make out of it, while doing some good.
all the https://www.forhims.com/ copycats of India are doing a bad job at it.
A website or app where unemployed Indians can earn a little money by doing image annotation and other labelling work to train AI. Tech companies that need training data for ML would be the customer.
Not labelling work but, check intents mobi, you can upload photos of your location and make money
There are startups that provide these services. It would be good to crowdsource these.
However, speaking as someone who has firsthand experience dealing with folks who did this- this would be very difficult to solve since there needs to be thorough SOPs or training to ensure quality. Otherwise, one would be left cleaning up low quality crowdsourced data
Last minute (tatkal) flight bookings for off seasons or utilisation of unbooked seats at a discounted price
Sports management firm where we recruit and train talent in exchange for representation rights in the future
Huge need - but prolly really hard to pull off without existing credibility/contacts in the sports world
Going to do it once I have built something meaningful capital to deploy on my own. Really hard to pull off but wouldn't be fun if it was a trivial problem to solve.
Few years back in college I was a little disturbed and worried by hearing frequent news of Eve teasing, chain snatching, people getting beaten up in dark alleys, etc. Wanted to make a Google map kinda application where priority is safest route instead of shortest route.
Wow epic idea. There’s a crime map for every city in the US - this could be something very similar for India
Yeahh. The hard part is curating the right kind of data. I think for this app to work we’d need street wise crime records which could tell us which locations are the most dangerous based on the time of the day and things nearby(market, police station, temple, etc). Now governments also don’t want to record to show less crime under their jurisdiction. I went through the open source government datasets but didn’t find anything useful. One can raise a request for a particular type of dataset, didn’t get around trying that.
Not startup but ai feet pictures in only fans.
Bunch of small digital billboards for outdoor advertising.
Problems : Insane regulations and billboards in general are controlled by goons and politicians who have influence over local nagar palika.
Bribery to the government. Officials are a must for your show to continue and it's not small numbers they ask for insane bribery that exceeds the cost of my digital billboards itself.
Well regardless of all that if AR or XR became a thing widely adopted by masses then it's already a dead industry.
