Hi Friends
New to this group. Read more than 50 posts & really charged up as I am also looking for platform like this where GENUINE people can help me with their feedback for my concept – looking to start up + back up from founder Mr Kejriwal.
Like others, first doubt which got clear from mind – no one can steal your idea.
Let me tell you about myself. my story may sound kiddish but i believe in every person there is one small child..here is mine.
Bachelor from travel industry (7 years of experience). Always fascinated towards exploring new destinations & meeting new people. Left my well paid job last year in August (for a reason), to become a FOUNDER. This word always inspire me to think out of the box & execute it. As of now running a travel agency in Mumbai (to survive) & not interested to run through out my life.
HOW IT STARTED ?
Normally because of my profession, I used to meet 5-6 new people every day & travel alone, but that from company point of view.
Slowly & slowly as time passes, I realized my life got surrounded only within the 4 wall of my office with my customers & colleagues. Even though I was well positioned & stable but self satisfaction was missing.
Work here, friends here & end your day here. Home became just a formality to sleep & next mrng get ready for office again. Due to work load, sometimes unable to attend family functions & friends parties. In fact in my society I hardly know anyone.
My hobbies took back seat, I just chat with my old friends on FB, no new friends, just routine life, no new activity – when I want to go for holidays / outing – all my friends are busy & definitely don’t want to go alone. Sometimes I felt like living in a lonely world.
Many times I told my friends to plan holiday for Malaysia & Singapore……but you know how friends react initially (with mountain of quest)….. There were some good air-fare deals going on for the same sector, I told my friends and at last….we booked our air-tickets & hotels. I was very excited as this was my first Int’l trip & I love to travel new destinations. It’s my dream to travel around the world.
One day both of my friends told me due to some professional & personal reason, we have to cancel this trip. It was like BIG SHOCK to me…..I was unable to understand how to REACT but friends are friends, we went to GOA to chill out & to create new memories but old is gold.
That day I realized how much I am depended on others for my enjoyment & happiness (not only with me but thousands of other people as well facing the same situation). I told myself this time will never come back (& it’s never too late), …….why not to create a group where people like ME can go for holidays or enjoy different events without depending on anyone and at the same time make some good friends.
CONCEPT – Name of the company – looking for some good OPTIONS) is a face-to-face meet-up platform during events & vacation. It’s a group for all those solos that happen to be single or their friends, relatives, partner, family members are busy to accompany them during such programs. It’s a world where you can make new friends for life long, meet your life partner, explore yourself, share your views, learn something, show your hidden talent, go for various activities, & get away from stressful life in a group of like minded people who share same values, thoughts, hobbies and life-style like you.
SUGGESTION NEEDED
- I am looking for partner – if any one interested do contact me.
- I am making a membership based website, where in you need to register to enjoy our events and vacations. It’s not like social networking site, just enter your details and you are member. We are not going for quantity but focusing on quality members. Here we verify prospect details before he become a member. MY QUE is – should i keep nominal membership fees (they will get goodies, discounted vouchers from our side on joining, so that only genuine & interested people join us or let it be free to join.
- Should i keep it only for Bachelors as of now and then open for married people or from start for anyone.
- Should i keep it for Mumbai only or pan India ?
- How to filter whether particular member has given correct info,he is married or not etc so that other members feel comfortable & especially ladies feel safe to join this group to enjoy holidays .
- What kind of site should i make so that members visit my site regularly.( need some spice to add up – any suggestion).
- For marketing if any one can give me suggestion, its will be very helpful – BUDGET is very tight. Target audience – mostly from 25-42 yrs old across India.
- Any others suggestion are welcome……!
Cheers
