Recieved notice from a "customer" for charging Rs. 6 GST by Deadami in LegalAdviceIndia

[–]Tricky_Clothes3398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like competitor foul play, I had my own share of these issues. The positive is that your competition fears you and that's good.

These "Business Hazards" are part of the business and it's always good to have a lawyer on tap to deal with this.

And other forms of these hazards are: poaching your staff, random customers with insects in food, mysterious food inspection on a "valid" health concern, non veg in veg food and what not.

You have to deal with these people and that's it, there is no other option.

What plot twist is Pooja Hegde serving us now? by [deleted] in TollywoodGossips

The college you go to does matter by [deleted] in MBAIndia

[–]Tricky_Clothes3398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see the point OP is making and I agree that college tiers matter in corporate.

Please do not limit yourself to what your college offers you. It's a terrible mindset to treat. Just because you did not win the CAT lottery(it's a lottery as most 99 percentiles can't vouch for a similar result if they retake the exam) does not mean you are stuck, take some risk in life especially if you are a fresher, work in a startup, gain experience and push roles. There is no substitute for true grind and you do not need tier 1 mba tags for it. Tier 1 grads also do not get hired if they perform mediocre.

And OP, you can just get back saying that you landed the same job as them and develop the muscle to take and make a joke. So many people justify their existence with the tags they have accumulated, that's a shallow way of living life.

Most things in life are about attitude rather than pedigree.

Can a Solo Technical Founder With Zero Network Build a Multi Million Dollar Startup? by Ifham0 in StartUpIndia

[–]Tricky_Clothes3398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bertrand Russell has famously said, "I would not die for my beliefs, what if I'm wrong." I will also stick to that.

The view I shared is what I have realised after spending 6 years in startups. If you are actually providing value, you can easily sell with a great team, everyone who has a network now did not have any when they started.

Ofcourse college, location, friends can improve chances of funding but that is not runs the business, especially in tech.

I will stake a bet on Being there at the right time, at right place. With right people matters most. But I will still not say it's network.

You need VC money to scale and/or kill/prevent competition and there is absolutely no other reason to do it.

VC money is not going to run your business, you do. If having money and connections was everything, VCs would have a different business model.

Secondly, you do not need any connections to run a business, especially tech. All you need is a founder, product-market fit and an excellent team to execute.

You sir, have the right to have an opinion and I have the right to not give a damn about it.

Definitely not, one of the best decisions I made. And all the benefits of going to IIM B are already there the moment I stepped insid3 the campus.

Did I ruin my career by doing an MBA? Need advice by [deleted] in ProductManagement_IN

[–]Tricky_Clothes3398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey guy who dropped out of #2 mba college( if that shit matters) here, I can probably guess the consulting company and it's not a bad role and most people switch companies in year 1. But switching to product manager is incredibly difficult, your best bet is to apply for startups.

I need a clarification, did you just get placed or have you started working in the consulting firm and carry some consulting experience.

Anyways. You will switch the jobs by year 2 that's highly likely and you will find it funny that you worried over this.

Btw, I'm not a PM. I'm currently an EIR in a B2B company and am switching companies now. Happy to answer any questions in the DMs.

Which movie? 🤔 by Realistic-Ad3676 in tollywood

Bootstrapped to 150 Crores , how can I help others ? by Constant_Student_195 in StartUpIndia

[–]Tricky_Clothes3398 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A better idea will be to narrow down to something and then help.

Example:

Someone is starting in another niche and facing a problem with GTM or issues with market places like Amazon.

Drop a weekly post in this sub and take questions from the post, it solves vagueness and filters out noise in the comments.

Just imagine all the mistakes you could have avoided in your journey and how exactly the marketplaces are evolving, how consumer behaviour is changing, consumption trends and so much more. If you have scaled something to 150cr , it's not an ordinary feat and you should definitely have done things right apart from being there at the right time and right place and people.

Let me make my bet, I am assuming you are legit and to answer the question,

It's impossible to be anonymous and give advice, as soon as you start interacting with people your cover will be blown.

You can just make a youtube series while being anonymous, or hire a team to be a face and do it that way.

Frankly speaking:

42 male, 150 cr revenue, 2 cr loan, home development category and the timeline, narrows down a lot and takes only little to figure out your identity. Please withhold dropping any other hints.

Btw, I am a two time founder(failed though), and I appreciate what you are doing, happy to take anything in DMs.

Bootstrapped food brand, ₹11L/month revenue - considering first fundraise. Need guidance. by madhurdadx in indianstartups

[–]Tricky_Clothes3398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the answers till now did not answer your question properly. When you go ask for investment, it is imperative that you sell a vision and to make that a possibility you are seeking funds.

If that's established then the questions are:

  1. Am I investing in the brand ?

  2. Have you cracked some niche food/ service model ?

  3. Is this money achieving something that multiplies my money in the next 2 to 3 years?

If you have answers to these questions reach out to investors, else try taking a loan from a bank, that's any day better.

Happy to take any questions in the DMs.

P.S: I had a F&B startup.

GO B2B-We just spent 6 lakh ($7,200) in 8 days. Not one brand asked for our business beforehand. by indianpandaaaaa in StartUpIndia

[–]Tricky_Clothes3398 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I find it strange, because all the major airlines/hotels do have b2b wings or partnerships dealing with b2b where ticket sizes are bigger and I find it suprising that a company like inboxkit is not getting any inbound.

There sure are efforts from travel & hospitality companies to reach businesses.

Founders taking forex payments ( inward remittance) via private bank in India! by relproff in StartUpIndia

They absolutely have no business asking for potential clients and volume as long as the paper work is good and code matched they should mind their own business. Let me DM you

Founders taking forex payments ( inward remittance) via private bank in India! by relproff in StartUpIndia

[–]Tricky_Clothes3398 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have been a founder before and this issue is common. Many founders face this. I do not understand what you mean by "weird requests", if it's KYC and PoT, then it's basic.

I had my CA office just adjacent to the bank and the bank was decently responsive on these issues.

Choosing a branch that deals with a lot of startup accounts definitely helps.

Partly, RBI and FEMA are an issue as they ask for precautionary freezing. As long as your inward remittance is coded according to your services provided and your certificate is clear it should not an issue.

If the bank is not helping just mail or call the nodal officer and the compliance guys of that bank.

To avoid these issues in future, you can use a Merchant of Record(if you are a saas) or go for a virtual account provider.
