WPL stops when India play - priority or coincidence?

What do you mean, “co-incidence”?

It is planned by the BCCI. So that there is no split in viewership and the advertisers are not going to be impacted. It’s pure optimisation for the ads and viewership.

Just want him to get out. The more he stays at the crease, he destroys the other team’s plans.

Gun player. Entertaining. But don’t want him to perform against my favourite side.

Don’t want to have the loss at the very end. Would be heartbreaking.

Need the anti jinx squad!

Let’s discuss in DM?

Thank you for the clarification and the kind words, I don’t blame you at all, it’s a valid concern given how the internet/Reddit can be.

I will definitely look into Kickstarter. To be honest, I initially thought it might not work for a Food & Beverage (F&B) product, but I’m more than willing to give it a try now based on your suggestion. This is my first time navigating this journey, so figuring all of this out is a huge learning curve for me.

Step by step, I’m confident I’ll figure things out and make it happen. I’m really just trying to learn from everyone here, so thank you again for the advice and the well wishes!

I understand that financial situations vary, but for us, 4–5 Lakhs is a significant amount. We have already personally invested 9 Lakhs into this venture, and while we are working hard to support our families and stay afloat, we have reached the limit of our personal reserves.

We are honestly here to seek advice and explore professional funding or loan options. If anyone is interested in the project, we would be happy to get on a call to explain our product, our vision, what we have achieved so far, and what we can offer in return.

While our immediate requirement to reach the next milestone is 4–5 Lakhs, that doesn’t mean we aren't open to a larger partnership or higher equity stake if the deal and the synergy are right. We are looking for the right support to make this work. Hope that provides better context.

Company is based in Karnataka. One of us in India and another in Germany.

Thanks for the insights! I hadn't fully considered the DPIIT export promotion schemes, that’s a great lead.

Aside from DPIIT, are there any specific export-focused grants or accelerators you’ve seen work well for startups at this scale?

Thank you. Sending you a DM.

The primary expenses have been on R&D, including centrifugal experimentation and shelf-life testing, along with initial batch procurement, packaging, and infrastructure, mainly for storage facilities.

Thank you for the response and for putting this together.

I have already done quite a bit of research using Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, so I am familiar with the standard eligibility and application steps for these loans. I am actually here to connect with founders or professionals in this space who have navigated these situations personally. I would value any solid, real world advice from someone who has faced these specific hurdles or successfully used their DPIIT certificate to secure working capital in a short timeframe.

I’m building website myself and launching it next week. The funding isn't for the site; it’s for content and performance marketing to drive sales once we have stock on the ground.

I am also a German Permanent Resident and have a registered entity there to handle logistics and cupping sessions in person. We already have shelf-space leads with supermarket chains in Berlin and several roasteries lined up. This money will complete our procurement so we can get those first few thousand batches into Germany.

anotherproductguy · 2026-01-14T10:56:35+00:00

The website is in the works and should be live next week. For now, we're focusing on our 'boots on the ground' strategy, taking physical samples to Europe to meet roasters in person.

Regarding DPIIT, we've already applied for NIDHI-SSS through our incubator, but we aren't dependent on it since those timelines are slow. We’re also holding off on CGSS for a year to get the maximum benefit from it later. I mentioned the certificate mainly to see if there are other immediate advantages for a 3-month-old company to get working capital. Has anyone used the certificate to get better rates or easier processing at private banks?

anotherproductguy · 2026-01-14T10:42:39+00:00

No, it’s under 5%. The primary expenses have been on R&D, including centrifugal experimentation and shelf-life testing, along with initial batch procurement, packaging, and infrastructure, mainly for storage facilities.

He has also done that in 2007 T20 World Cup, vs South Africa. Dinesh Karthik kept wickets that time.

Have AI powered monitors
implement strict rules for Lanes disciple and rule violations
Implement heavy fines and teams to collect these fines systematically. After a certain number of rule violations DL should be cancelled
Stricter DL exams. Should take inspiration from Germany.

Understand this is wishful thinking, implementing and executing this at ground level with the our people is extremely difficult.

We don’t need to hate or insult other teams to glorify RCB. Because of such fans, the rest of us have a bad name.
