Hey everyone,
I’m a 19-year-old guy based in Delhi. I’ve been running a stationery shop for the last 2 years, right after finishing school. I started small, making just ₹10k a month (which I had to give to my family because I basically took a loan from them to start). Back then, I was happy. At least I was doing something on my own.
Now, even though the business is profitable, I feel completely burnt out. The shop is in a locality where managing the crowd—especially kids—is mentally exhausting. I walk in with energy and leave drained. Every day, I feel like quitting, but I can't.
The real issue is at home. My family expects money from me no matter what. They’re not open to me doing anything else. Every time I share a new idea, my brother shuts it down in front of the family like he’s some expert. My dad doesn’t contribute anymore, and while my brother covers most household expenses, I give almost everything I earn—but it’s still not appreciated.
I didn’t go to college. I have no social life, no close friends. I’m just stuck, doing the same thing day after day. I want to experience life, build something new, and actually enjoy my youth.
That’s why I’m posting here. I’m actively looking for a business partner—someone who also wants to hustle, experiment, and start something from scratch. I don’t care what the idea is: selling jewellery in Sarojini, flipping things in Chor Bazaar, e-commerce, anything. I’m open-minded and ready to work hard. I just don’t want to do it alone anymore.
If you're someone who's hungry to build something, tired of being stuck, or looking for a real teammate—let's connect. We can figure it out together.
P.S. I used ChatGPT to help clean up my grammar and write this post....
