Buiding shit from 4+yrs, 23, based in India. Been building since 16. Looking to join an early stage EU/US startup or MNC as a founding PM or PM.

Please Note: Using the power of this god-tier subreddit for something slightly unconventional today. hoping this subreddit council allows it. (Pls don't take my post down)

Experience

• Current: PM at an AI startup. Joined a month ago, the role turned out to be sales heavy with 0 product surface. Moving on.
• Prior: Frontend engineer at an enterprise AI company for \~1.5 years. Owned the agentic AI module end to end, built workflow configurators for business users, wrote an internal frontend framework that lifted team velocity.
• Before that: Consultant. Took ambiguous client requirements to delivered product. Scoping, timelines, demos, dev team management.
• Before that: Co-founded a hyperlocal commerce startup. Bootstrapped, ran for \~2 years, team of 20+ across product, eng, design, ops. Shipped two mobile apps (consumer + merchant), did 50+ customer interviews on the ground. Shut it down. Took the lessons.
• First gig: dev intern out of college.

Products I have built (happy to walk through any of these on a call, keeping names off public posts)

• A restaurant review tool was live at 2 restaurants within Bangalore. Catches unhappy diners before they leave public reviews.
• A people discovery platform for my city. mutual-interest unlock model, no ads. This now has live users
• A zero-commission marketplace for real estate brokers. Dual-sided, broker tools + consumer property app.
• An automation tool for a financial services client. Cut a manual workflow from 2-3 hours to 10 seconds.
• A newsletter SaaS with AI writing, email infra, subscriber management, tiered pricing.
• An aviation community I built on Instagram at the age of 17. 0 to 12K followers organically, partnered with flight schools in India and the US.

Btw i was feeling alone in my city then i ran club nights and offline events in my city, pulled most of the crowd from Reddit. I write my own copy so distribution is part of the build for me, not a separate function.

Looking for:

- Founding PM or early PM, even at MNC works.

- Real product to own.

- Equity/ESOPS

- Decent compensation

- Async-friendly, no daily target chasing.

- Founders who want to build to sell or scale, and the - product has depth.

Open to wearing other hats too. Project mgmt, Hiring, ops, whatever the stage needs. I cannot sit idle, that is the only real requirement on my end.

DM me. Happy to share resume, portfolio, references, and walk through any of the products in detail.

Through Reddit I've met a millionaire, multiple founders, indie devs, doctors, bikers, VCs and some genuinely good friends. Not by looking for them. Just because I made posts for completely different reasons and somehow conversations happened and things got real.

But that was all luck. The real problem is discoverability. There are fascinating people all around the world and there is no good way to just find them.

So I started building something. Think of it like Product Hunt but for people. You list yourself, not your resume, just who you are and what makes you interesting. Others can upvote your profile and also can wave at you. You wave back. That's when both of you get each other's contact details, whatever you chose to share, WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, nothing is mandatory. No posts, no feed. Just find someone interesting, wave, if they wave back you're connected.

Could be a coffee chat, a collab, a riding buddy, someone to just talk to, or just an online chat, completely up to you. Lifetime free.

there's a chat option too now, so you don't even need to share contacts unless you want to.

well, it's out. https://folkshunt.com/

3 months back i posted here about how reddit accidentally got me the best connections of my life. millionaire, founders, indie devs, doctors, bikers, VCs, actual friends. all by accident. i said i was building something to make that less accidental, and many wanted this to be out soon as well, love it :)

well, it's out. https://folkshunt.com/

quick recap of how it works in case you missed the first post. you list yourself, not your resume. just who you are and what makes you interesting. people can wave at you. you wave back. that's when contact details get shared, whatever you chose to put (whatsapp, instagram, linkedin, none of it mandatory). no feed, no posts, no algorithm trying to keep you scrolling. just find someone interesting, wave, see if they wave back.

there's a chat option too now, so you don't even need to share contacts unless you want to.

use it for whatever. coffee, collabs, riding buddies, jobs, startup co-founders, dating, meetups, just good conversations, completely up to you. no judgment on intent.

lifetime free.

only ask: if you sign up, please make your profile actually interesting. one line about your job is not going to get you waves. write like you'd write a good bio. the platform is only as good as the profiles on it.

would genuinely love feedback, including the brutal kind. if something's broken or confusing, tell me.

SHARE THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS :)

hey sub,

posting this because i'm in a weird spot and could use the right person.

i've been building Folkshunt for a while. it's a people discovery platform, think of it like Product Hunt but for humans. you list yourself, not your resume, just who you are and what you're actually into. others can wave at you, you wave back, and only then do contacts get shared. whatsapp, instagram, linkedin, whatever you chose to put. no feed, no posts, no algorithm trying to keep you scrolling. lifetime free, no ads, ever.

the problem i'm trying to solve is simple. there are interesting people everywhere and no good way to find them. linkedin is performative, twitter is shouting into the void, instagram is for people you already know. the actual signal of "i want to talk to this person" gets buried under noise. mutual waves are the filter. both sides opted in before anyone has the other's number.

where i'm stuck:

the application is 85 to 90 percent done. the dev who was building it had a family health emergency and is out indefinitely. i completely understand and wish him the best, but it means i'm sitting on a product that's basically usable with a handful of small bugs that i don't want to push to prod as-is. nothing structural, just polish stuff.

what i'm looking for:

a technical cofounder who can pick up the codebase, ship the fixes, own the web stack going forward. once we hit around 1000 active users, mobile becomes the next thing. so someone who can think about that eventually.

a business cofounder who genuinely wants to build a social network for the world. not someone chasing the next trend. someone who has opinions about community, retention, what makes people come back without dark patterns.

i'm based in bangalore. open to remote for the right people but a bias toward folks who can hop on a call without timezone gymnastics.

if you want to see the product before deciding, dm me and i'll send the link. it works, it's just not where i want it before a public push.

equity is on the table, obviously. happy to talk numbers once we know we want to work together.

cheers.

Used to think big hospitals were the safest and most trustworthy places in bangalore. for any issue, just go there, get treated, done.

but over the last few years, i genuinely feel like many of them have become more like corporate sales machines than healthcare institutions.

every visit somehow turns into:

unnecessary scans

endless diagnostics

expensive treatments

pushing packages and follow-ups

fear-based recommendations

and now hearing stories that some doctors in corporate hospitals are actually given revenue or sales targets? that’s genuinely insane if true. healthcare is probably the last field where people should feel like they’re being “upsold”.

and the sad part is, when you’re sick or worried, you trust the doctor blindly. most people don’t even question it because “it’s a reputed hospital”.

of course not every doctor is bad, and emergency care at big hospitals is still important. but the commercialization is getting out of hand. healthcare shouldn’t feel like walking into a sales funnel.

at the same time, people also struggle to trust random local clinics because there’s no easy way to know who’s actually good and ethical anymore.

honestly, govt needs to regulate this better. medical decisions should not be driven by business metrics.

instead of only naming bad hospitals, can people here suggest genuinely good, trustworthy doctors in bangalore in the comments?

mention:

doctor name

specialization

area/hospital/clinic

why you trust them

could genuinely help a lot of people avoid unnecessary stress, tests, and money being drained.

been building Folks Hunt for a while now and honestly… it’s getting very close.

the product is probably 90% there already. frontend, core flows, product direction, most of the hard work is done. remaining is bug fixes, polish, growth, iteration, distribution and just going all in.

i’m looking for someone who’s insanely interested in building consumer internet/social products.

could be tech, product, GTM, growth, community, content - honestly doesn’t matter if you deeply care about building something big.

Folks Hunt: https://folkshunt.com/

the vision is simple: build the next social network people genuinely love using.

if this excites you, DM me.

especially if you’re someone who likes building fast, thinking long term, and wants to create something meaningful.

23yo PM at an AI company in bangalore.

been building startups/products/communities for the last 4-5 years. founded startups before, shipped products, managed teams, handled GTM, talked to users, dealt with chaos. learned a lot.

now looking to join a small startup as a cofounder/PM

not looking for a typical job. not looking to join as a dev. not interested in coding rounds/assignments/interview theatre.

looking for:

small ambitious team

early traction/revenue/funding

real ownership + equity

founders who genuinely want a builder beside them

i’m strongest at product, execution, operations, GTM and turning messy ideas into actual things people use.

work exp:

- Currently a PM at an AI startup

- Ex dev at an enterprise software product

- Ex founder of hyperlocal grocery & food del startup with the team size of 25+

+ built a lot of saas products and businesses (including scaling my own aviation IG page to 12k followers when i was 17yrs old

for now i’ll stay lowkey since i’m still employed. but if something clicks, i’m ready to go deep long term.

if this resonates, DM me. would love to grab coffee somewhere in bangalore.

Hmu.

At any cafe, resto etc works.

The HR person or admin gets stuck with it. They spend a week shortlisting venues, half of them are unavailable.

They chase the restaurant for a custom menu, get ghosted. They run a poll in the team group, get 15 different opinions, please nobody.

And after all that effort - someone says "the food was just okay.

I got tired of seeing this happen so I started Trible House.

We book the whole thing for you. Private venue, food, vibe sorted. You just show up with your team.

Currently have spots in Indiranagar. Can work across Koramangala and CBD depending on your group.

If you're planning something, DM me with your team size and budget. will figure something out.
