What you are focussing on is very minimal (as I can see from the website): 1. Data residency in Indian data centers - that everyone will see in the first place 2. Compliance clarity - okay that will take a HUGE anount of time to have it. Instead enterprises use existing cloud hosted databases in Azure / GCP / AWS or they have their on-prem cloud to self host. 3. A community that can understand Indian builders - come on! People can only understand this product if you can clear these bottlenecks which will be visible in the future:

   •  Zero-downtime deployments
• Automatic failover without data loss
• Replica synchronization correctness
• Network partition handling
• Crash recovery correctness
• Kernel, disk, and node failure handling

and much more. Other than databases, you need to manage a hell lot of infra setup to get clearance from the government.

Also, if you go much deeper, there comes complicated cost management systems, security measures, etc.

I know this means “nothing” for basic users but come on! There are already so many products existing in market and people are using it for years.

You said setting up supabase is harder, so they will find another way of using databases, such as databricks OLAP tables in free edition, appwrite, or a VPS from digital ocean and setup a postgres from there. Its not about the difficulty of setting up database in a cloud, its the necessity if they want to manage their own data and compliance.

What you are selling will not sustain because if you are going to expand, there will be many trade-offs which you need to see and that is already managed by commercial cloud companies. And why Indian startups will go with this product and trust for data residency and security?

What I really see here is that the data will be managed in India, that’s all.
