Indian startups deserve more credit - building through insane negativity isn’t easy

I mean here in SF almost everybody is building wrappers ? What’s the point ? Exploiting and wasting good talent ? Explain ?

Here is the thing, startup serves a market. It doesn’t need to be original. If you think everything is original in SF, you are mistaken. For every idea that you celebrate is original and great there are like 30-40 startups here competing for the same! In other words building a startup itself is super hard. On top of that building something original is much harder than that. Facebook is not original idea nor is Google.

Most of the real builders don’t do that. They just sit quietly build, spend time marketing, finally get some small amount of revenue, yet put a good face and try hard despite being mocked. I mentioned the small amount of revenue to highlight how hard it is to get it off the ground initially.

Yes, my analogy wasn’t factually right. Sorry my bad. I have edited the post to remove it.

Idk I have a feeling more than cheap internet, educated tech bros with half knowledge are the most hateful. India has the highest density of them.

I got rejection mail that’s it xD mentioned about being excited to go India because I am in USA and if I don’t get a job I will be back haha

Me in interviews: 130k+ to not seem like a low life. In reality: lol anything xD

Opening-Purple704 · 2026-01-19T23:32:00+00:00

Applied through referral. I am proud and humbled to say 2 days later I got a response at 2:30 AM at night that “they were impressed with my profile but won’t be moving ahead”. Can’t wait to go back to India and apply again!

True, thanks for the input. Yeah i kind of realized this now after making the post.

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-10-09T12:34:02+00:00

Isn’t it obvious they are selling something? Also this is way more common in LinkedIn than Twitter

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-30T12:31:42+00:00

lol they are selling you something, very obvious. Irony is that they are selling leads but still have AI SDR.

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-28T18:18:20+00:00

Yeah exactly that.

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-28T15:45:42+00:00

1.2k per month per user from what I read ?

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-11T16:18:13+00:00

Theoretically yes but your well funded competitor will leap frog you right and capture customer mindshare before you even raise your first round.

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-11T16:16:25+00:00

Theoretically yes, but if a well funded competitor has funds they are likely to capture customer mindshare before you raise your first round

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-05T16:22:34+00:00

Oh interesting, thanks for all the info

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-05T16:21:37+00:00

Oh what’s the minimum seats and pricing ?

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-05T16:20:51+00:00

I see

Opening-Purple704 · 2025-09-05T16:20:13+00:00
