The Problem:

Imagine a young baker who finally lands a tiny kitchen in the middle of a busy city. She is good at her craft, but not so good at pricing, sourcing ingredients at scale, or dealing with rising competitor noise. She tries asking friends, but they shrug. She tries posting in online groups, but replies trickle in hours later or never come at all.

Now picture a college student who wants to start a tiny apparel brand. He needs direction on suppliers, margins, and packaging. He does not have time for long emails or awkward “mentor meetups” where the whole thing feels forced.

Across India and the US, early builders run into the same roadblock. You want guidance at the exact moment a decision is stuck in your head. You want someone who has been there to simply say, “Here is what I would do.” Instead you get silence, delays, or information overload.
