Indian uncles for deeptech
Started as a joke, and it’s still true.
one highly underrated hack for the deep-tech founder in india -
get a professional indian uncle.
archetype - former military background, speaks local language, gets physical work like construction done, enforces military grade precision/discipline, fixes shit you didn't know needed fixing, saves money on things you didn't even know you were spending on, and simply replies 'ok' to every and any task sent over whatsapp
“uber but for indian uncles” YC26
The earnest version, on Independence Day:
I strongly believe that every Indian startup benefits greatly from a Veteran of the Indian Armed Forces.
Veterans bring an immense amount of operational experience, a formidable level of cultural discipline and grit, and a lot of valuable skills in building relationships with locals, running a tight ship, and managing and leading people.
At Dognosis, we are grateful to have former Indian Army Veteran Venkat Rao work with us for over a year as our Canine Facility Manager. He has helped Itamar Bitan, the team, and I in innumerable ways, and we hope to continue to work and grow with him for many more years!
Happy Independence Day 🇮🇳
