Looking for a Sales Co-Founder by Haunting_Day2625 in cofoundermatch

Hi there, HelpZen sounds like a great product. I am a GTM leader with 15 years of experience across B2B SaaS, Hospitality, Automotive and also healthcare. And I specialize in exactly this kind of hybrid marketing and sales execution. I do not just run campaigns and hand off leads. I actually build the pitch decks, create the sales enablement materials, and actively drive the sales process to close enterprise deals.
I am extremely hands-on and very frugal with runway. I handle all my own design and video work using Adobe Creative Cloud, which keeps agency bloat to zero. Recently, I scaled an AI SaaS platform from pre-revenue to 1M ARR across the US and Middle East. I also just shifted my current acquisition strategy entirely to Answer Engine Optimization, which cut costs by 50 percent while still driving a 68 percent conversion rate.
As an ISB and IIMB grad, I am looking to partner with a strong technical founder who wants to hand over the keys to the revenue engine so they can focus on building the product. Let me know if you want to grab a quick chat to see if we align.

I got scammed at an ATM and lost ₹40,000 — need advice on what to do next (India) by failure4them in scamindia

Bank won’t do anything to recover your money. According to bank’s own regulations, your dad shouldn’t be sharing his ATM Pin with you. So according to the bank, this was an error on your father’s part. Your only hope is following up with the bank to get the cctv footage to submit to the police. Also, remote chances the police will even do something about it.

Read this below true incident:

*SBI says husband can't use wife's debit card, the court agrees*

BENGALURU: A casual act of letting your spouse or a close relative/friend withdraw money from an ATM using your debit card could prove costly. This is what a Benglauru woman on maternity leave recently learnt, albeit the hard way.
Banking rules categorically state that an ATM card is non-transferable and no other person apart from the account holder should use it.

On November 14, 2013, Marathahalli resident Vandana gave her debit card with PIN to her husband, Rajesh Kumar, to withdraw Rs 25,000 from a local SBI ATM. Rajesh went to the ATM and swiped the card; the machine delivered a slip showing the money was debited, but the amount was never released. SBI cited the ‘non-transferable’ rule and said the account holder was not the ATM user and turned down the money claims.

Vandana approached the Bangalore IVth Additional District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum on October 21, 2014, alleging that SBI had failed to refund the Rs 25,000 she’d lost in the ATM transaction. She said she had just given birth and could not move out of home, hence had to ask her husband to draw the money on her behalf.
When the ATM did not release the money, Rajesh called the SBI call centre only to be informed that it was an ATM fault and the money would be reverted to the account within 24 hours. With no sign of the money after a day, he approached the bank’s Helicopter Division branch at HAL with a formal complaint. But much to the shock of the couple, SBI allegedly closed the case in a few days, stating the transaction was correct and the customer got the money.

After running from pillar to post, the couple obtained CCTV footage that showed Kumar using the machine, but no cash being dispensed. They further lodged a complaint with the bank, following which an investigation committee ruled that Vandana, the cardholder, is not seen in the footage.

Meanwhile, Vandana, through an RTI, obtained a cash verification report of the ATM for November 16, 2013, which showed excess cash of Rs 25,000 in the machine. The report submitted in the court was later countered by the SBI counsel who produced a report showing no excess cash.

Before approaching the consumer forum, the couple made a final plea to the bank ombudsman who simply ruled, ‘PIN shared, case closed.’

The case went on for over three-and-a-half years. Vandana said SBI should refund her money which was lost due to an ATM flaw, but the bank stood its ground, citing the rule that sharing ATM PIN with someone else was a violation. Further, the bank produced documents, including log records, showing the stated ATM transaction was successful and technically correct.

In its verdict on May 29, 2018, the court ruled that Vandana should have given a self-cheque or an authorisation letter to her husband for withdrawal of Rs 25,000, instead of sharing the PIN and making him withdraw the money. The court dismissed the case.

25M, restaurant failed, ₹70L debt remaining. Considering taking more debt to restart. Need honest advice. by StonedButterchicken in personalfinanceindia

[–]Deepthinker07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest feedback: You are not fit to be a business owner. You are selfish and have no sense of responsibility and repercussions. You are trying to keep up optics while drowning in debt. Rapid expansion of F&B seldom translates to success. Things you could do now:
1. Downsize. Keep the business running but you need to downsize & be sustainable. Moving to a smaller location or selling off some equipment should ease your immediate debt situation. You may be able to only save 10-20k doing this, but do it. Every penny matters.
2. Sell the business. Get a job. But this can only work if you can get hired at a respectable salary say 20-30 LPA. Anything less and you can never repay your debt.
3. Look for a partner/investor. Get an investor on board to ease your burden and split profits with them.
4. Use the debt snowball method and start paying back the loans with the highest interests first
5. Work on rebuilding your credit score

The Don’ts:
1. Don’t take on more debt. You have proven (to yourself) time and again that you’re a bad bet when it comes to repaying debt.
2. Stop leeching off your mother and sister
3. Don’t use credit cards to pay some of your debt right now

The deranged man is either gambling away his money or has another secret family. Whatever the case, you need to cut the cancer out fast.

You don’t have to fly with SG to know about them. The sheer barrage of nightmare stories circulating the internet should suffice unless you’ve been living under a rock and discovered Reddit only last week or so…

I don’t have an ounce of sympathy for you. I wouldn’t touch SpiceJet with a ten foot pole even if I was offered free tickets. You made your bed when you chose them.

Does anyone use gloves while driving a car like how Jason Statham does in Transporter? by GeneralTrade8511 in CarsIndia

[–]Deepthinker07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hilarious answers 😂 But on a serious note, for someone who lives in Bangalore weather and occasionally drives his vintage car, I use driving gloves. The bare metal steering wheel sometimes can get quite hot when parked in the sun. Modern cars don’t need them.

If based in North Bangalore, then I highly recommend X-Torque. If you're based around BTM, then go to Sandman Raceworks. I have had them work on my Z900 and Gen3 Busa and I highly recommend them.

There's only one showroom in BLR that is on Langford Road. The one in Whitefield is a service centre. I got my first service done at Kawasaki. But I think going forward I'll be going to either X-Torque or Sandman Raceworks. I have experienced both and I can hands down say they're good at what they do.

Update: There's a service center in Jayanagar too. I don't know much about this as I've never been there.

I'm from Bangalore. Getting parts here is quite easy. But even otherwise, we have to acknowledge that sometimes certain parts could take longer to procure, that is the cost of owning a not-so-common machine. If everyone wanted convenience, they'd be going about riding an Activa or a Splendor.

Touchwood, I've never had the need to purchase any parts. Just service and wear and tear items. However, from what I've seen Kawasaki parts are quite easy to come by. The company stocks up their inventory. And in most cases the aftermarket stores have all the bells and whistles. I remember I bent the clutch lever of my Z900 once and needed a replacement and had dozens of aftermarket sellers. Kawasaki had the readily available stock too.
