Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello guys; I have been actively applying to job/internship openings on LinkedIn (It might have reached 50+ by now) but what I get is either they ghost me, or reject me.

There's only 1 or 2 companies where I actually received a response but even they ghosted me after submitting practice assignment. Also; the rejection mail of each company is the same so I am starting to think that most of the jobs are automated by bots or something.


Can anyone suggest an active job search platform where employers post the role with the intention to hire employees, even look through the candidate's resume and respond instead of ghosting?

If you haven’t seen Lex Friedman pod with Zuck then here is the link- https://youtu.be/MVYrJJNdrEg?si=ejRSC_qGFrSYMs0F

I’m not a big fan of Zuck. But what Meta pulled off is truly incredible. I’ve been making fun of metaverse since ‘21. 

More power to builders in the arena who keep on building, defying all odds. 

What a time to be alive to see such inventions.

Lately, I have been thinking very deeply about my college days when the Flipkart story had inspired the entire lot of my batch at IIT-D. We were starry eyed college kids who wanted to do something innovative in India and break away from the "three" most popular moves after IIT:

1. UPSC
2. MBA
3. MS/PhD abroad

I proceeded to then work in various Indian startups and noticed an alarming thing. I began to realise a pattern across all my stints:

The initial founding team does exceptional work innovating, they excel at what Thiel calls "Zero to One", the act of creation. I will concede that although most founders fail to innovate by often copying what worked in the west but the initial founding team usually excels in execution. It allows for initial traction as it breathes a fresh breath in the\ space that they are operating in.

Almost always, when Product Market Fit is "achieved"(whatever that means), the founders begin to deploy insane amounts of funds into growth. 

By definition, Growth is not a bad thing. But, I have been noticing that across all startups I have worked at( all raised funds from the largest global funds) that it comes at the expense of product building. And during this era of hypergrowth, the product starts to stagnate while focus becomes marketing and sales. 

I often felt that this was temporary. That once we reach enough scale, we would start to innovate again. 
But time and time again, the ability to innovate atrophies over time.
Rather than building something that has enduring value by executing faster than anyone, the focus becomes achieving growth at all costs. 

This ultimately leads to two outcomes:
1. The startup cannot sustain this growth and retention begins to look dire. The churn becomes unbearable and the startup goes out of business.

2. The startup gets acquired by someone bigger, allowing founders and investors to believe that they created value where none existed in the first place.

I am completely dejected at this.

share your silly/interesting/futuristic ideas, which are rotting away in your notes

PS: don't worry about someone stealing your idea, ideas don't matter, execution does. If market is big enough multiple players make money, anyway competition is for losers.

1.Dehydration of the vegetables and fruits which are considered as poor quality (shape/size) and making Nutritional Powders out of it for livestock consumption. 
 2.E-Market Place to buy Bio-degradable waste (Husk,Paddy Straw) For bio-fuel products based companies. 
 3. Agri-Tourism and an Incubation centre (Makers Place) for Rural Entrepreneurs (Pottery, Bags, Food Products, Clothes etc)

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi everyone,

I’m currently pursuing my MCA and in my last semester. As part of my academic career, I need a job or internship to submit the report for my final semester, so I grabbed this opportunity. I’m working at RBL Bank as an Associate Application Support Engineer, where my tech stack includes Oracle, RPA, Python, and Postman API.

However, my real interest lies in development, specifically as a Java Developer or Fullstack Developer. If I get an opportunity to work as a developer, will my internship experience and current salary make an impact, or will I have to start as a fresher?

I’d appreciate any advice or insights from those who have made a similar transition.

Thanks in advance!

I am running a bootstrapped B2C startup, and our Product(app) is in the market, the domain is pure tech, like productivity tools for end users, One thing we are facing problem is acquiring users, as our product is not based on dopamine release we are unable to get good organic growth, I have tried google and Facebook ads but conversion is very slow and not good, as we have also marketing budget concerns due to bootstrap.
Here is more detail of our product: https://grapevine.in/post/2cd2f9d5-b706-4fc2-b13a-33395eca3b6b
I need some actionable advice from fellow tech-enthusiastic people, on how to get users.

We are building Data-Oauth, the next version of Oauth/Public SSO. We are first creating a Data Repository from the existing online footprint, then storing this data in Data Pods, and then creating a lot of User-generated Data packets, where users can transfer their data/interests with their consent to other platforms.
As this is uncharted territory, I want some feedback and suggestions on this.
PS: Thanks in Advance.

Hello guys need some feedback on stealth Product(Data-Oauth) - Grapevine

Need Advice to Get Users for my B2C startup.

I'm definitely not engaging with any answers that don't have a "Why".
Regardless, my answer would be...

Napoleon, The French Emperor and Military Commander

"The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemy's."

I've been watching a few documentaries on his military tactics. His innovative tactics and organisational reforms revolutionised warfare, setting the standard for modern military operations. His military campaigns, known as the Napoleonic Wars, reshaped the map of Europe and influenced military thought for generations.

Personally, the battle at Austerlitz remains to be the best showcasing Napoleon's tactical brilliance and audacious maneuvering. In the midst of a freezing December day, his Army faced the combined forces of the Russian and Austrian empires atop the icy Lake Satschan. With the enemy mistakenly believing his right flank was weak, Napoleon executed a deception, withdrawing his troops to lure the Allies onto the fragile ice. As the ice cracked and creaked beneath their weight, the French unleashed their firepower, shattering the frozen surface and sending thousands of enemy soldiers plunging into the icy waters, resulting in multiple casualties and ultimately victory.

Napoleon's rise from humble beginnings to becoming Emperor and his eventual downfall at the Battle of Waterloo is a legendary story of ambition and power.
