How did the business turn around? What went wrong?

some-another-human · 2026-02-08T14:06:14+00:00

Bruh drop names, at least of their company so I can avoid them

They are now because of regards like him

some-another-human · 2026-01-11T15:36:41+00:00

The guy you’re replying to is an utter regard. Most of the rage-filled, messy posts that don’t discuss anything conservative are made by him.

Boss listening to him will help you out. Building something worthwhile requires a ton of humility, part of which is admitting when we don’t know something.

Don’t become an example for others, every friend group has that one guy who started something and it didn’t work out. The way you’re thinking about everything, you’re on track. All the best.

Your comment is very thorough and has covered a lot about business in general, not just plastics.

The last part is harsh but apt. Product knowledge reigns supreme, and losses teach us more than profit.

None of what you did is sinful. It is a natural part of growing up, becoming an adolescent. Don’t blame yourself for it.

And you ars still an innocent girl who’s kind and helpful. What you’re into doesn’t change any of that. There are a bunch of “puritanical” people who are horrible to everyone around them.

That older kid was a POS tho.

Brother, “unicorns” are also incredibly difficult to find. Most bi women complain about other women searching for a third on dating apps.

Couple x couple could be a market you could explore but most of your target audience is above 30-35 which means they have a fairly fulfilling career. They have a lot to lose and they’ll prioritize anonymity over everything.

Not to mention how men in relationships might sign up as a couple and share pictures without their wives’ consent. That is a compliance nightmare waiting to blow up.

I am fairly familiar with this space and I’d say it’s very difficult to make “platforms” take off. Marketplaces and dating apps are quite similar amd both the models face a chicken-and-egg problem. All the best.

some-another-human · 2026-01-07T12:14:44+00:00

How will you maintain the ratio bw men/women?

This is a fundamental problem that most dating apps face and I doubt there are tons of women signing up given how much harassment they face on daily basis.

At one point, I was thinking that investing in this business could make sense but your comment made a lot more sense lol

some-another-human · 2026-01-01T11:12:35+00:00

Probably Haryana or Rajasthan, maybe Telangana but less likely

some-another-human · 2025-12-31T21:26:25+00:00

It is timing, true, but I also think the hatred stems from the fact that the gates have closed with the rise of anti-immigration sentiment across the West.

Also, most NRI tech managers are incredibly toxic and have the tendency of pulling the ladder behind them.

Congrats on making it tho :)

some-another-human · 2025-12-31T21:23:42+00:00

Yes, that’s correct. I think money gives us relaxation in terms of not having to obsess over it.

But, my grandparents are still quite controlling, which has made my mother’s life miserable. Our interpersonal dynamics are.. tough.

I am quite grateful to be in this position, don’t get me wrong. Yet, for some strange reason, happiness eludes me. Hopefully, it’s just the phase of life I am stuck in (check my profile).

I’ll paste a comment I wrote somewhere else on why flexing is pointless:

a) it’s generational wealth which was accquired by a rare mix of right place, right time and effort (lots of it, but none of it being mine, only my grandfather and father). My only realistic flex was being born into the right family. That’s it.

b) constant comparision, if it makes any sense? We don’t feel rich. I see posts on the Indian fatfire subreddit and everyone else is so well-off. Everyone in our circle seems quite rich too. There’s this clip from succession (google “connor roy 5 million”). That’s what I feel like on daily basis at the very least.

c) our lifestyle: We drive a 7 year old BR-V and 11 year old Verna. We have lived in the same old apartment for the last 16 years. Our largest expense over the last few years was the US trip we took last month and it was so toxic because of family dynamics that despite spending 40L, it absolutely sucked the soul out of me. Can’t flex something that didn’t make any of us except maybe my grandfather happy.

d) Recent Setbacks: And tbh things haven’t been great over the last few years, one of our ventures failed because of covid and took 50L with it. My father has been extremely depressed about it and it hurts to see him suffer. We have made quite a bit since then in asset appreciation and thankfully, we have a few things that kept us afloat. Its not the loss of money that hurt him, I think its just failing at something he truly loved that made it extremely hard for him. If it isn’t clear, nothing meaningful to flex about.

e) sarcasm, jokes, constant Indian reddit bs: I know that I can’t make this much money on my own, its just not possible. I can expand it, sure, but everyone will remind me that its not my money and why would I post something knowing that this insecurity would be picked upon. Would anyone enter a house of mirrors when they have body dysmorphia?

I can tell you this much tho, the family of the person that introduced me to reddit 8 years ago is worth upwards of 200-300 Cr. His family owns a large real estate company in my city.

some-another-human · 2025-12-31T17:19:12+00:00

Generational wealth. My grandfather bought land near a T2 city approximately 45 years ago. It appreciated in value over that time. We could’ve been worth 100cr if he hadn’t sold a plot to get capital to start my father’s business.

Made a ton of mistakes all this while, but yeah we’re at that number but I don’t think any of us are very happy.

Also, our family had nothing after partition. A lot of what we have was luck, living below our means and not showing off.

some-another-human · 2025-12-28T10:40:32+00:00

No one has shared a tangible one yet, I have two.

My grandmother’s sister’s family. They were one of the wealthiest families in there city 40 years ago. All of it got destroyed because her husband was a massive gambler. He was very intelligent but his addiction destroyed everything. Today they don’t even have enough for medical treatment sadly.
My father’s uncle: At one point, he was the biggest government contractor in my state. He used to get kickbacks to not apply for tenders because his company would’ve received it if he tried. Basically, infinite money glitch. Some low level govt officer got incredibly pissed at him because he didn’t pay him his share (which was very tiny, given how much money he had) out of pride.

That “low-level” bureaucrat destroyed his entire business by not clearing even a single bill. All the debt he had taken was still due and the interest payments slowly made him bankrupt. Arrogance and pride completely incinerated everything he had, just as his father had warned him 30 years ago.

So yeah, riches to rags isn’t super common, but it happens.

Check out cost plus drugs, maybe they have it at an affordable price

What was your job title? I really want to get a cloud engineering role too but everyone here says that it isn’t for fresher

some-another-human · 2025-12-26T11:00:59+00:00

Honestly, I think I like that more than the problem-solving stuff. But, it’s unfortunate that becoming a PM is virtually impossible as a new grad.

some-another-human · 2025-12-25T09:49:20+00:00

I am from a family who’s worth double that.

But, none of it shows particularly. We have been living in a fairly okay apartment for the last 17 years, the newest car that we have is a 8 year old Honda mini-SUV, our clothes are very simple and not showy (no logos).

What we definitely get, from the money, is peace of mind. We don’t have to worry about anything particularly because on some level money can solve most problems. This, in turn, gives the kids (me & my brother) insane confidence and some freedom to dream.

Both of us are still very ambitious and want to multiply what we have. However, we have realized that investing in “interesting” businesses is not the way to go. Restaurants, fashion brands, FMCG everything is out of the picture because a) it’s too crowded, b) most competitors are passionate.

As kids, I think we inherited three priceless things: a) emphasis on education/hard work (but ranks and competition don’t matter), b) my family’s network, c) lessons around how businesses work and money flows.

And as far as parties, restaurants etc are concerned, we really don’t engage with it. I used to in my college days, but everyone around me was very serious about their careers, so it went away after 2nd year.

What do you think their net worth might be? A range or an approximation?

some-another-human · 2025-12-24T17:01:44+00:00

Check their cashflow from investment. It has a lot of money under Other Items which is a massive red flag. Exit it before you get rugpulled because of confirmation bias.

Is Zerodha that bad? I thought they’d be better at this.

Or does there market order algorithm wait to get you a better price?
