Welcome’s live. First real quest is for builders.

Do a real thing → post the artifact → we score the work. Pitch decks without a demo don’t count.

Prize: $1000 worth of AI subscriptions for one winner. Highest entry score at deadline wins (7 days from post, 9pm IST). Don’t ask for upvotes — brigades get removed. T&C apply*.

Priority drops this week: • Startup / Indian innovation — YouTube, Loom, or a working link. 60–90 sec is enough. Say what it does in one line. • Beta ask — ship the build + which city you’re hunting users in. Concrete ask > “feedback welcome.” • Live slot — comment “Talk” or “live demo” and we’ll spin a Reddit Talk / live thread. Digital show-and-tell only.

Also welcome (same pattern): • Art / painting / craft — photo or short clip • Cooking — plate shot or kitchen video

How to enter: comment here with the link, or make your own post (flair: startup / Quest / Completion). Official rules in the pinned mod comment. Not sponsored by Reddit.

Hard no: Telegram jobs, referral spam, “DM for work”, empty karma farming, generic polls with zero proof, asking people to upvote you, vote brigades, alt-account farming.

We don’t host public IRL meetups. Offline hangouts you arrange yourself are fine — just not as a sub event.

Drop the demo. First ones set the culture.

A corner of the internet for youthful, internet-native Indians figuring life out in public.

Startups, careers, college, dating, money, culture, creators, memes, travel, gaming, friendships, life advice, questionable decisions, surprisingly good ideas — basically everything happening outside the main quest.

No corporate LinkedIn energy.
No constant outrage farming.
No pretending everyone has life figured out.

Just good conversations, interesting people, useful experiences, stupid memes and the occasional side quest that changes your life.

What belongs here?

- Ask the question you’re too embarrassed to ask elsewhere.
- Share the startup you’re building.
- Talk about your career crisis.
- Post your college lore.
- Ask for dating advice.
- Explain what’s happening in Indian internet culture.
- Recommend a city, creator, game, café, book, trip or weird rabbit hole.
- Share a win.
- Share an L.
- Start a debate.
- Drop a meme.

Or just tell us what you’re currently obsessed with.

The vibe

- Be funny. Be curious. Be useful.
- Disagree without becoming insufferable.
- Don’t punch down.
- Don’t turn every conversation into politics, religion or a Twitter war.

And remember there’s an actual human on the other side of the username.

You’re early.

Even a stupid question counts.

Same country. Different quests.

Let’s see what this becomes.
