an open letter to indian makers
everybody has a passion, a dream, an idea.
but turning those wild ideas into reality is tough, especially without the right support and the right ppl around you.
hi, i’m nikhil. since i was a kid, i’ve always loved learning new things and making stuff. from sketching art to building tiny robots and writing code, i just wanted to try anything that sparked my curiosity.
i started building on the internet in 2018. i tried selling books, launched a fashion e-com store, built an art gifting platform, and a bunch more.
this helped me make my first money online at 17 and get a first full time job even before i graduate.
but i learned pretty quickly that chasing your dream is hard if you’re doing it alone.
out of 100 ppl who dream, maybe 20 actually start. only 5 keep going.
after years of trying, failing, and learning, i realized a few things:
- the best way to learn is by doing.
- the best way to do is by sharing the work.
- the best way to win is by surrounding yourself with ppl who wanna win.
winning isn’t just about chasing a billion dollar idea or getting rich. it’s about doing something you care about and making a living from it, or at least having fun and enjoying life.
that’s why i’m building herecomesthemaker — a home on the internet where ppl like you and me come together to work on our passions and ideas together.
it can be anything.
starting a yt channel, making art, making music, working on a scientific breakthrough, building software, a cool hardware product, or even a spaceship.
we don’t care whatever it is.
we don’t care if you dropped out of college, a founder, have a 9-5, or are 14 yo. if you have the passion to build, you belong here.
this is where you will take any idea you’re excited about, figure out how to bring it to life, share your progress in public and turn it into something that people give a shit about — alongside other cool ppl.
all with in 6 weeks. over nights and weekends or even full-time (if you can).
working on your passion for 6 weeks can genuinely turn your life around for good.
like finding your first few fans, releasing your research, getting your first few subs, pivoting to something new—whatever it is, you move forward.
i’m starting this because i know how much easier and more fun building is when you have the right people around you.
i've seen lot of ppl pushing the limits and building cool stuff from the other parts of the world.
i want to see more indians (like you n me) chase their wild ideas and build cool stuff.
excited to make your idea real in 6 weeks?
tell us about yourself, and we’ll share more details soon.
