Hello everyone,

I’m an IIT graduate with a strong foundation in backend development and blockchain and I can develop the application for the same , with scalable backend.

I’m currently exploring a simple but scalable idea: building a digital Darshan platform that deeply engages users while promoting discipline and charitable giving. The core experience would include high-quality (4K) live darshan streams, combined with features that encourage regular participation and structured donations.

A key pillar of the product will be transparency. By leveraging technology (potentially blockchain), we can ensure donations are clearly tracked and visible, helping build trust between devotees and temples. People should feel confident that their contributions are being used meaningfully.

Why this matters (market size):

•	India’s temple economy is massive, estimated at ₹3–4 lakh crore annually (\~$40–50B).

•	Online religious services and donations are still under-penetrated but growing fast with digital adoption.

•	With over 600M+ smartphone users in India, even capturing 0.1%–0.5% of this audience gives a base of 6–30 lakh users.

•	If just 5–10% of users contribute ₹100–₹300/month, that translates to ₹3–90 crore annual revenue potential in early stages, with significant upside as trust and engagement scale.

I’m fully aware that this isn’t a first-of-its-kind idea. However, the market is large, fragmented, and still evolving,leaving room for better execution.

Our approach will focus on:

•	Strong product discipline and user engagement loops

•	Understanding what users actually want from a digital spiritual experience

•	Positioning the app not just as a utility, but as a daily habit and ecosystem

We’re not trying to directly compete with existing apps initially. The goal is to build something users genuinely connect with, then refine positioning based on deeper market insights.

Potential USP:

•	Clean, intuitive UI/UX

•	High-quality live darshan experience

•	Transparent donation tracking

•	Behavioral design that encourages consistency and discipline

Happy to connect with like-minded people interested in this space.

Have a good day :)

Hi,

I am from IIT and I have 4 years of tech experience (including BFSI), currently building a SaaS-led growth venture in the fitness space.

I need someone to dedicate their full time for this business, so will I do

I’m looking for a co-founder based in Pune or Mumbai who is extroverted and can lead on-ground marketing and partnerships.

The model will be profit-sharing . I’ll take full ownership of product, strategy, and tech.

The core idea is simple: help gyms consistently acquire high-quality leads, automate follow-ups to improve conversions, and proactively drive member retention. The focus is on directly increasing revenue for gym owners, making it an easy, ROI-driven sell in the ₹1K–₹5K/month range.

With the right execution, this has the potential to scale into a ₹30–40L + /month business.

Hi,

I’m from IIT and have 4 years of experience in the tech industry.

I’m planning to start a laptop rental business similar to Rentomojo, but exclusively focused on MacBooks.

I had posted ads on OLX and received a good response—around 4+ users within 2 days. However, most users are only willing to pay around ₹1K per week or ₹3K per month, which made me question how Rentomojo is able to rent out a MacBook Air M1 for ~₹8K deposit and ₹3–4K monthly rent.

Later, I understood that their model works by extending tenure and partnering with banks, so the payments are effectively converted into EMIs, with most of the risk transferred to lending partners.

What do you think about this as market demand is clearly there and we can scale it up to 20-30L a month business.

It seems the main challenge is building a system where risk is offloaded to banks or EMI lenders, rather than being borne by us, while also minimizing tenant default and device damage risk.
