Would definitely check it out. But how did you get to connect with him and agree for a podcast, if you mind sharing?
They're providing funding, compute, and direct mentorship to researchers and engineers to work on real safety and security projects for four months.
For turning it into 10Cr, best bet would be index and real estate.
Starting a business is risky and should not expect a guaranteed return, but can start something on the side too.
But stripe's main pain point was make the onboarding of businesses easy to handle payments worldover, and they did a very good job of it.
This looks really cool, but why should I as a user use this tool instead of directly not going to Gemini's Veo or OpenAI's Sora?
MS won't go away anywhere anytime soon. Not at least for a decade. So many B2B are dependent and trained on MS products since decades.
MS is just tagging along the legacy mode. Once the new age people become majority employees, they will be more familiar with google's office solutions.
Where are the tutors usually from, and what are their qualifications? I guess you can add a little detail about tha in the website too for more credibility.
I guess tools like nano banana are going to embed hidden watermarks which cannot be removed. It also might come in a slightly ethical gray area.
What are your thoughts on that?
I would often browse through forums/communities and see what other people are facing a similar issue.
Next option is finding answers in blogs.
Yeah they actually started on sms too, and then moved along to apps later on.
Amazing journey they have had.
Lol a very interesting problem to solve. May fall in a grey area, but if there is demand then it's good.
Seems interesting, but are you aware that there is already an anonymous platform called grapevine?
This is very interesting and necessary tool. You should add a crowdsourced option too, similar to community notes maybe.

Slops and wrappers will go away. The main LLM's OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini will release the wrappers themselves with time for every winning wrappers.
They work well for MVP's and basic framework, more than that they're a big security nightmare.
Like a localized urban clap? It will work surely but places like these are a double edged sword. You need the vendor and customer both registered at the same time.
If enough exposure is done then surely would work, and would wanna try it out for emergencies.
"The money that was raised from Z47 (formerly Matrix Partner India) is long gone," said a senior executive familiar with the company's finances. "At its peak, Krutrim was burning through at least $4-5 million every month. None of it is backed by new investors anymore. It's Bhavish's own money that has been going out."
Wow that's really cool man. So this will be like companies looking for Indian employees or just normal jobs but curated to a desi crowd to check and apply on?
“… if you think about it, a good new idea has to seem bad to most people, or someone would have already explored it. So what you're looking for is ideas that seem crazy, but the right kind of crazy.”
Hello Samir, welcome to desifounder and thank you for joining us.
What have you been building these days? Would love to know the journey.
In the end currently it's not a profitable business model, and working on burning vc money to acquire users and make them accustomed to it.
Have to see how it will all fare 5yrs down the line, when gpu's will get cheaper.
3D printing is yet to take off in mainstream I assume. There is a lot of potential in this field, for customized items.
Are small 3d printers viable for homes? As a hobby I mean.
Have you reached out to these hunters? Do they respond or are willing to hunt your product? Share that experience please.
- Elon Musk sought Mark Zuckerberg's investment in OpenAI, the startup said in a filing.
- Musk's $97.6 billion bid for OpenAI was rejected earlier this year.
- Meta is competing hard with OpenAI, poaching top talent and enhancing its large language model.
Ours hands are quite full right now building desifounder.
Your idea seems niche, and can grow well if targeted towards bikers.
Reddit and X do help a lot in early traction. Haven't tried linkedin though, seems too clunky.
You need to bring something to the table too, to entice a tech cofounder. It can either be industry experience, marketing & sales skills, investment, or networking.
Then find the most compatible cofounder, and build something small with them at start. Then you can scale from there.
That's amazing man. Do feature your project on our spotlight, it will be up all week for voting.
See around you what minor problems or inconvenience you're facing everyday. Then see if people around you or online are also facing the same issue.
Check how frequently they face this issue, and validate it by checking if they would use the solution if it is available.
Then go build on that idea.
Many early founders jump into registering companies at ideation stage, without understanding the regulations or consequences.
Thank you for sharing these resource with us.
If the background image is a bit weird, ask to edit by changing the base color to white or black, whichever is better.
If you want a similar result for any logo, just upload an image in chatgpt and then paste the below code and press enter:
"style": "Jelly 3D Icon",
"object": "User-uploaded logo or emoji (e.g. Netflix N, Ghost, Spotify icon, etc.)",
"base": {
"shape": "Rounded square",
"material": "Soft translucent jelly-like material",
"color": "A strong contrasting color to icon (e.g. purple, green, blue)",
"lighting": "Inner glow and soft ambient shadows that gently fade outward"
},
"icon": {
"material": "Jelly/glassy translucent look, softly glowing from within",
"color": "Brighter tone or brand color, always with a jelly-glass texture",
"depth": "3D extruded with rounded edges and subtle bottom shadow",
"placement": "Centered with even padding inside base"
},
"render": {
"camera": "Front orthographic view with centered framing",
"lighting": "Studio-quality lighting with soft top-left highlight and directional drop shadow underneath icon",
"shadow": {
"style": "Soft diffused base shadow with slight blur",
"position": "Directly under icon, slightly offset down",
"opacity": 0.15,
"spread": "Medium, matching other icons in set"
},
"background": "Soft warm grey or pastel cream for consistency",
"dimensions": "1:1 square ratio, minimum 1024x1024",
"file_format": "PNG"
},
"style_notes": "Ensure consistent lighting and shadow softness across the set. Shadows should appear slightly beneath and behind the icon with soft blur — matching the Spotify, Camera, and Weather icon samples exactly. Avoid flat or harsh shadows. Emphasize clean separation between icon and base through shadow and depth."
}
Cool. This gradient makes it look like a little old design. Maybe try different gradients too.
The logo design itself is minimal and good.
Yeah it is kinda surprising that they couldn't materialize their existing userbase so well in the payment segment.
Playing field may be different based on the community outreach they have, but in the long run the quality of the startup only matters.
But they most probably aren't the target audience. The ones who are, are the potential future customers and have similar pain points.
It is actually advisable, so that you have steady funds in hand while you keep building your side project.
This is a great inspiring story man. How's your build journey going on?
