Agara Walks & Filter Kaapi - Let's Discuss Side Hustles
Hey there,
Bengaluru, apart from being the IT city and Startup Hub, is fast becoming the Side-Hustle Capital of the world. It's not uncommon to find professionals in BLR building communities, building a consumer product, freelancing during their free time or consulting with founders with their expertise.
Side-Hustles are breeding grounds of entrepreneurship and validating startup ideas. Yesterday's side-hustlers are tomorrow's founders. So let's discuss and share about our side-hustles :)
Inviting Side Hustlers of all shapes and forms :) i.e.:
somebody who has graduated their hobby into a passion project
somebody curating interesting communities to bring likeminded folks together
freelancing or consulting during their freetime to offer expertise
somebody who's built their first MVP or D2C product and looking to get validation
somebody who learning the ropes to being a social media influencer etc.
Let's seek collaborators, brainstorm ideas, share learnings and offer support and add to Bengaluru's pay-it-forward culture :)
