I’ll go first. Mine was a high quality alcohol delivery service. But I later realised how difficult it is to pull it off due to regulation.
BevMo is a huge company in the US doing the same

I was thinking of a Pet Insurance startup. Like how Acko is focusing on Insurance for cars, Jobsurance for layoffs.
A marketplace similar to PolicyBazaar. I feel there’s a huge potential here because in my own friend circle 5 people have adopted dogs in last one year.
Vet bills are costly as fuck. My dog had parvo and it costed me ₹25,000 for three days of treatment.
Huge potential if done right. Content marketing karenge Ditto jaisa toh set hai.

Also, a lot of people would say that everyone does it. Yes, they do, but there’s little to no focus on it. Exclusive company for Pet Insurance would be massive.

Ahh! Pets are definitely going to be huge in India. Their health insurance could be interesting - but I think all the models get messed up as they live a much shorter life than humans

ED, Hairloss, Diabetes an end to end platform which is not a scam. I still believe there is a big business one can make out of it, while doing some good.
all the https://www.forhims.com/ copycats of India are doing a bad job at it.

A website or app where unemployed Indians can earn a little money by doing image annotation and other labelling work to train AI. Tech companies that need training data for ML would be the customer.

Not labelling work but, check intents mobi, you can upload photos of your location and make money

There are startups that provide these services. It would be good to crowdsource these.
However, speaking as someone who has firsthand experience dealing with folks who did this- this would be very difficult to solve since there needs to be thorough SOPs or training to ensure quality. Otherwise, one would be left cleaning up low quality crowdsourced data

Last minute (tatkal) flight bookings for off seasons or utilisation of unbooked seats at a discounted price

Pretty decent idea honestly. There should be a market for this as students, other people who have less affordability can def take advantage of this

This is a very good idea tbh do you want to work on it together?

Sports management firm where we recruit and train talent in exchange for representation rights in the future

Huge need - but prolly really hard to pull off without existing credibility/contacts in the sports world

Going to do it once I have built something meaningful capital to deploy on my own. Really hard to pull off but wouldn't be fun if it was a trivial problem to solve.

Few years back in college I was a little disturbed and worried by hearing frequent news of Eve teasing, chain snatching, people getting beaten up in dark alleys, etc. Wanted to make a Google map kinda application where priority is safest route instead of shortest route.

Wow epic idea. There’s a crime map for every city in the US - this could be something very similar for India

Yeahh. The hard part is curating the right kind of data. I think for this app to work we’d need street wise crime records which could tell us which locations are the most dangerous based on the time of the day and things nearby(market, police station, temple, etc). Now governments also don’t want to record to show less crime under their jurisdiction. I went through the open source government datasets but didn’t find anything useful. One can raise a request for a particular type of dataset, didn’t get around trying that.

Not startup but ai feet pictures in only fans.

Bunch of small digital billboards for outdoor advertising.
Problems : Insane regulations and billboards in general are controlled by goons and politicians who have influence over local nagar palika.
Bribery to the government. Officials are a must for your show to continue and it's not small numbers they ask for insane bribery that exceeds the cost of my digital billboards itself.
Well regardless of all that if AR or XR became a thing widely adopted by masses then it's already a dead industry.

In a hackathon during college time we came up with the idea of Airbnb for parking spaces, (idea was it'll utilise vacant private parking spaces, some kind of p2p sharing invoo) had put together a website but never really did physical labour to make it real.

This has high potential. Particularly in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai.

Bro, honestly, this can be huge. A lot of high-end societies have parking space free for most of the day. It’d be great if you can pull this off, specifically need in almost all metro cities.
