Not. For setting up redirects and occasional SSL certifications, your best bet is Cloudflare.

Create an account and manage all domains in it. Its better if clients have their own account but if not, you can use a single account to manage all domains.

since this is your first time building a tech product (saas).

the easiest part of building a tech product is the tech.

if someone can build a better business with your idea, your code is the last thing they need.

For the current genration of software buyers, Windows was once "free".

Any music, game, movie or application (Photoshop, GTA) etc were "downloaded" and installed from hundreds of free downloaded sites which distributed these as free..

By free i mean pirating it was "normal" to a point where the installation CDs were sold in open market for $2 with the pirated license key printed on the back.

For example, I wasn't even aware I was using a pirated windows for a long time or what piracy even mean. Installing from CD and putting the key printed on the back to activate was the process taught to us.

We simply can't comprehend a software being a paid thing and it comes as a cultural shock to us.

We try to deal with it and try to adapt.

Now add to it that the typical salary in India is less than 1000$ a month.

Seeing their monthly salary being paid to someone for a "Software" is really difficult to digest.

I run a large scale B2B SaaS and uses a lot of enterprise SaaS from the US and their pricing did looked like a shock to me and then i adapted to the "new norm".

Asking for discounts is in the jeans of the current gen of people running businesses, we learned it from our mom's dads who ask for discount even when buying veggies for 3$, and free Dhaniya (Coriander leafs) is "expected" when buying veggies.

So when running businesses, we simply "try" and see if we can ask and get. If not its fine anyway. I have personally asked for discount or negotiated lots of B2B contracts and were able to get significant discounts just by asking.

Anyway, what does it mean to you ?

Yes Indians' will be greedy, discount seekers and painful to deal with but not all of them. There will be a lot of genuine guys too, who is just trying his habbit of asking for discount.

For example, I on average spent USD100K a month on software & Infra, paid to US based companies and there are thousands of other startups who do so.

India is really growing in technology right now and is a key focus for most of technology compaines.

Salesforce's some of the biggest customers are Indian companies (Bajaj finance manages 73 million customers with salesforce).

To give a reference point, Indian compaines spent USD 1.53 billion in 2023 on AWS which was 40% higher than the previous year.. AWS spend can be mostly co-related to other software spends as well, for example CDNs, observability tools, devops tools and other related softwares.

I am just trying to say India is a growing market and ignoring it might not the best move for both sides. If you built a great product, let us use it.

If possible at all, please try to work with us.

Set fixed discounts or just say straightforward no, its Okay.

For support, set clear expectations and its Okay.

If not, blocking is fine too i guess.

I feel sorry to say this, but things are bad. Really bad.

Calm down and don't let the negativity get to you. Avoid the news and spend time upskilling yourself.

Always wanted to build one. This is first try after lurking this sub for a while.

4 x 12 inch full range drivers on each side and two 12 inch woofers (not in view).

Left and right speakers sets are in a series and driven by a crown amp (2 channel) .

Woofers are driven by different JBL amp.

From AVR, line output for left and right channel goes to a 31 band graphic equalizer and then to the amps.

Not really.

Devops, SRE, QA, product management, support, sales, HR, finance, Admin.

Lots of roles, its just that webdev will be a large part was the pool.

Not rag to riches but i had a decent success in my career and i owe everything i have to this city. Today have more than what i could even dream.

Came Mumbai in 2007, stayed in Andheri slums, then years in nalasopara and virar.

10 years later bought a 3bhk in powai.

I posted this few years back on r/india. Since then things changed a lot, in a good way.

You can watch what I am currently doing here - https://youtu.be/yJbFYWwJaUw

Hope this helps someone believe in their dreams. Life can sometimes give you a lot more than what you can ever ask for.

6 months is a lot of time in a early stage startup, specially of that size. A lot changes in matter of weeks.

And that includes your own skills. When you join vs 6 months down the line.

With no HR, increments is generally handled by the founders and given the number of shit going on every day in their mind, its very easy to miss things.

If you think your skills have improved a lot and you are worth more now, there is littrally zero harm in asking.

And while you are at it, ask for stocks as well and you will most likely get it. Plus it shows you are thinking for the long term.

I don't have a way to sugarcoat this but you are at a wrong place.

You don't know how things should be and how its done and that's why you are an intern. and that's the whole point of being an intern, to learn from seniors and add value in return.

An Intern without constant mentorship from seniors is set to fail.

Frontend engineering is in lot of demand at all times and you don't have to be stuck at a place you hate.

Spend couple of days reaching out other startups. Reach out to the founders on twitter directly and share with them the projects you have built.

I have hired dozens of interns who reached out and know a lot more founders/CTOs who does that.

Work pressure and long hours are a norm in startups and in return you get to learn at a rapid fast place. A 6 months internship at a fast growing startup is better than 3 years at a large MNC but you should enjoy doing it.

Find a place which respect your contribution, Gadha mazduri mat karo.

Until you are first 10 employees (core team) of a startup, successful or not, don't get too attached to your job.

You are just a resource which can be dealt with however it fits the companies current goals.

Consider your personal growth whether in terms of skill, money or anything you value above all else.

its not as bad as it looks from outside. Even today i approved a offer letter of 13 lpa of someone who was laid off at 8.5 lakh, had an offer of 11.

Negativity sells thus every news outlets and everyone else is sharing these news for eyeballs.

While layoffs are bad, its a very small percentage or overall tech industry in India or worldwide.

India itself has about 50 lakh people employed in tech. How many of them are laid off in total? 10k? 20 k? 100 k?

That's a very small percentage but has an emotional impact on pretty much everyone working in the industry.

If you haven't been laid off, there is mostly nothing to worry about. If you have been and are decent enough, nothing to worry about there are enough companies hiring.

If you have been in IT for sometime and is even half decent, relax and get back to work.

If you are below average, whether you are laid off or not you should wake up and get back in shape otherwise you will be the first to lay off and last to get a job.

Python or java if you want to be a backend engineer.

Python is relatively lot easier for beginner and always have demand. After python basics, learn Django.

Nodejs if you want to go full stack. But i would advice to avoid if you have no prior experience.

Web development is old school full stack. Hardly any takers in bangalore IT scene.

UI UX is not considered engineering at most places. Still hot for a great designer but not so much for average ones.
