Let's start a business together

History: Worked in tech across Bangalore, Stockholm and London, including at Myntra and Spotify. Burned out during/after COVID, left the tech industry and moved back to India, traveling for the last year, soon to move to Hyderabad. I now have a passive income engine running through trading so I have all the time to build something interesting without the pressure of it making money.

I’m now looking to start an in-person bootstrapped niche service business built on human interactions, seeking partners, ideally people who have a financial cushion to invest time in building stuff without needing a monetary output from it for up to a year, but do reach out regardless if any of these ideas excite you, or if you have an idea of your own you'd like to partner with me on. Some of these have my spouse, who is a life coach and mental health counsellor, also involved.

My early stage ideas in exploration:

1. Employability and demographic dividend: A life skills academy for children (and paying adults) to enhance informal skills leading to success, e.g. confidence, conversational and written communication skills, teamwork/leadership etc. As a fauji brat, I had the environment to develop these skills. A lot of smart people struggle to meet their potential because they haven’t had the opportunity to develop these skills. Seeking a partner passionate about this domain.
2. A podcast focussed on the skill of interviewing people, challenging conversations and difficult topics. The media today has become an echo chamber lacking balance, nuance, insight and incisive interviewing exploring controversial issues. Opinions are very interesting, it's what makes people interesting. Seeking a partner with experience in this domain and the skills to market this.
3. Extend my passive income engine to a select few people for a service fee. Seeking a SEBI certified partner to manage the operations and legalities.
4. Activity based anonymous speed dating events supplemented by social skills/dating coaching. A lot of really interesting and fun people end up on the arranged marriage market at a late age because of a lack of confidence and social skills and thus a lack of dating experience. Make dating easier, less daunting, while keeping it safe and healthy. Seeking someone with amazing social, hosting and coaching skills to partner with.
