Spent the weekend on a thing because the Bangalore rental experience is genuinely broken. NoBroker quietly shows brokered listings even when you toggle "no broker." MagicBricks is mostly a call-center funnel. The only place I kept finding honest direct-owner listings was r/bangalorerentals and a couple of related subs. Problem is, those posts get buried fast and you basically have to scroll daily to catch them.

So I scraped every "flat for rent in Bangalore" post I could find, ran them through an extractor, and built a small chat agent on top that lets you search them. You can say "2BHK in Koramangala under 30k, no broker" or "I work at Manyata, anything nearby under 25k" and it works. Each result links back to the OP's Reddit post so you just DM them directly, no broker in the loop.

Numbers were rough though. Out of 1,412 posts I pulled, only 131 turned out to be actual rental offers. The rest were complaints, scam stories, "wanted" posts, random market talk. So about 2.8% of what looks like a rental post on this sub actually is one.

Putting the demo link in a comment so this doesn't read as drive-by promo.

Genuine question though, most of those 39 are older archived posts so the flats are probably already gone. If I set up a daily scrape of new posts on here, would something like this be useful to you, or does the gap between "post appears" and "flat already taken" make it pointless?

Hey everyone,

I am looking to join the right startup or product team as a cofounder.

I am not from a pure tech background, but I work at the intersection of marketing, design, content, product and AI.

I have around 6 years of overall experience in digital marketing, graphic design, web design, video editing and AI-based creative/product work.

I can help with things like:

Brand positioning
Landing pages
Ad creatives
Social media content
Website design
Product storytelling
Video editing
AI images, videos, music, ads and code workflows
SaaS, marketplace, Chrome extension and web app ideas

I feel many good products in India struggle not because the product is bad, but because the messaging, design, launch and marketing are weak.

That is the gap I want to help solve.

I am looking for a serious technical founder, solo founder or small team where I can contribute properly, not just take a cofounder title.

If you are building something useful and need someone who can help with design, marketing, launch, content and AI execution, DM me or comment what you are building.

Open to discuss and see if there is a good fit.

Hey guys, so this is a bali themed villa and plot project at Kanakapura road, harohalli, we have already sold 14 acres for farmland in Kanakpura, and have invested in this land where there's a good view and since upcoming airport is being built we are planning to build a demo villa and clubhouse, needed investment for same, as collateral we can provide cheque, legal, and open sale agreement, exit is 8 months, we will give 75L or you can keep the villa as weekend home. Let me know if interested, or you can join as equity partner if interested we are a pvt ltd company

Just a simple way to know if the feeling is mutual.

So I spent the last year building it.

One thing I cared a lot about was privacy and comfort, especially for women.

Here’s how it works:

• You’re only visible to people you’ve shown interest in
• If someone makes you uncomfortable, you can instantly block them
• There’s also a “Visitor Mode” setting that gives you more control over who can discover you

For guys:
If you don’t see someone on the app, it probably means they haven’t shown interest yet, and that’s okay.

I’m genuinely looking for feedback right now:

• Would you try something like this?
• Does the idea make sense?
• What would stop you from using it?

it's called timeline.net.in

A couple of months ago, FinBooks.ai was just an idea on a whiteboard.

Today, 38 organisations and 7 CA firms are actively using it.
The crazy part?

None of this started with “let’s build an AI startup.”

It started with frustration.
I come from a finance background, and I kept seeing the same problems everywhere:

•endless GST reconciliations
•manual bookkeeping
•spreadsheet chaos
•invoice mismatches
•hours wasted on repetitive accounting work

Everyone treated it as normal.
But honestly, it felt broken.

So we started building FinBooks.ai with one simple goal:
Make bookkeeping and compliance less painful for businesses.

The first few months weren’t about scaling.
They were about listening.

Every conversation with a CA firm or business owner changed something in the product.

One user asked for customizable MIS reports.
Instead of pushing it into a “future roadmap,” we built and shipped it.

That became our philosophy:
Listen closely. Ship fast. Simplify relentlessly.

Today, FinBooks.ai helps businesses with:
•Reconciles GSTR-1 and GSTR-2B against your books automatically
•Flags ITC mismatches and Rule 37A exposure
•Imports invoices directly from portal JSON into your books
•Real-time bank reconciliation
•MIS reports, payroll, and a virtual CFO assistant

Still early and improving. But seeing real businesses rely on something we built has been incredibly rewarding.

Would genuinely love feedback from founders, accountants, and finance folks here.

Hi I'm 20M working in a fitness startup as sales and support

I'm currently looking to change my domain into product manager roles in the next 6 months, and I'm also ongoing studying (distance learning) and looking out for these roles

I would like to know your thoughts on this as PM roles are in the boom now and i feel it's a good place for me to choose!

Hey everyone,

I’m building AroundU, a platform focused on helping people discover communities, events, hobbies, sports, workshops, flatmates, networking circles, and like-minded people nearby.

We’ve already built a solid product + backend infrastructure, and now I’m looking for someone who wants to work closely on the growth side at a founding level.

Looking for someone who can help with things like:

• Getting event organizers, communities, clubs, workshops onboard
• Partnerships & collaborations
• Sales / outreach
• Campus & city growth
• Growth experiments
• Building distribution loops
• B2B conversations with organizers/venues/brands

This is ideal for someone who:

• Wants real ownership instead of just a job
• Likes startups, growth, community building, consumer apps
• Can execute fast and talk to people confidently
• Understands hustle-stage startups

Currently based in India, starting city-by-city.

If interested, comment or DM with:

• What you’ve worked on
• Why this interests you
• What kind of role you’re looking for

Would rather work with someone hungry and execution-focused than someone with a fancy resume.

Hey, I am in my final semester of CSE. And got removed from my last internship due to backend issue allocation in a large service based company.

I need at least 3 months of internship in a tech role for my degree. I have skills in AI/ML, NLP, Data Science, Android App development, Python, SQL, Excel.

In the internships I figured out how to build things in internships.

I am open to learning and contributing.

If you have any roles in tech leave a comment or DM.

I’m a technical founder — I built the full stack (NestJS backend, React Native app, AWS infra). But I need someone who lives and breathes edtech growth in regional/Tier 2 India.
I’m looking for:
✅ Marketing advice — what channels actually work for selling SaaS to school principals in small towns?
✅ GTM feedback — is my pricing right? Should I go direct, through DSOs, or via WhatsApp agents?
✅ Connections — anyone who’s sold to schools in AP/Telangana?
And if we really click on vision and thinking — I’m open to bringing the right person on as a co-founder (equity, not a job).
I’m not looking for a typical marketer. I’m looking for someone who:
• Understands why a school principal in Nizamabad trusts WhatsApp over a website
• Has done field sales or channel sales in Tier 2/3 India
• Is excited about building a category in a language-first market
• Can think like an operator, not just a consultant

Happy to share more:
• Product market.myakshara.in
• Deck / financials with serious co-founder candidates
• Jump on a call if you want to nerd out on regional edtech
Drop a comment or DM me. Even one good referral or piece of feedback helps.

i am 25 yrs old Female, planning to start an agriexperience workshop business in bangalore but i want to validate everything properly before starting this.

My situation:

• Horticulture graduate
• Basic experience in SEO & social media
• i have budget: ₹5,000
• i don't have farm and i am alone

my idea is:
Conduct workshops on weekends where people (especially urban people who are fed up with work and seeing mobile and want to explore nature) can visit farms and learn things like planting, dairy,mud games,organic farming etc

Before I start, I want to understand from experienced founders:

1. What real problems should I focus on solving in this kind of business?
2. Who is most likely to actually pay for this? (students, working professionals, families?)
3. ii need to know that are people ready to pay for this experience,how much they are ready to pay without thinking
4. What’s the best way to find my first 10 customers with almost no budget?
5. Are there any major risks or blind spots I need to know?

I don’t want to start blindly, I want to validate step by step and build this the right way.

I would really appreciate practical advice or how to execuite it properly ,from the people who have allready built service based or experience-basedworkshops and buisness.
