Banibrata Majumder

Hi, I'm Banibrata. I'm building Praveg AI, an AI voice agent startup. This account is where I'll share: • What we're building • AI insights • Startup lessons • Sales experiments • The wins and the mistakes Building in public starts today.

@Coachbenjamin_ Curious—what do you think matters more in the beginning: posting every day or posting genuinely useful content a few times a week?

"I'm not getting clients" I checked her page, the last time she posted was in may. How do some think getting clients online work? No magic here, no one knows you if you aren't visible.

@flashy_iyke I'd add one more: responsiveness. Even highly skilled freelancers lose opportunities simply because they take too long to reply. Reliability starts before the project does.

For freelancing, here’s what gets you hired: A solid portfolio (even one good project is enough). Good communication. Understanding the client’s problem before offering a solution. Showing how you think, not just what you know. Reliability. Do what you say you’ll do. Being easy to work with. Testimonials and referrals. A strong online presence (GitHub, LinkedIn, X, personal website). Consistently building and shipping projects. A CV helps, but in freelancing, it’s usually not the reason a client hires you. They hire you because they trust that you can solve their problem.

@remoteoliver I like the point about "busy" being a symptom rather than a phase. Looking back, what was the first system or process you changed that noticeably reduced your workload?

Harsh truth but "I'll invest when I'm less busy" is stupid af. & it's the reason you'll still be busy in five years. Because the 'busy' isn't a season you're passing through, it's a symptom of the way you've built things.. People love to bury their heads and try work harder inside a model that was never going to scale, so they pull out the excuse of waiting for a quiet month that never comes. Then a few years pass.. then a few more, and you can guess the outcome without me explaining haha. in short.. you don't get less busy and then fix it. You FIX IT FIRST and then get less busy.

@jakobwhte Which one made the biggest difference for you? I'd guess deleting apps has one of the fastest impacts.

Things that quietly make my life better: • walking without headphones • reading physical books • watching the sun set • drinking more water • deleting apps None of them cost much. All of them pay well.

@nikssocial A strong personal brand doesn't just generate leads—it shortens the trust-building process. People feel like they already know how you think before the first conversation.

The 1% gets leads while they sleep. The rest hustle endlessly. The difference is leverage. And leverage is just a personal brand built right.

@Hazel52389 Looking back, was there one standard you raised that created the biggest change in your career?

Every level of success comes with a new standard. If you want different results, stop negotiating with old habits. Growth begins when your standards rise. Everything else follows.

@jonahhodges_ The line "The warehouse isn't the flex. The predictability is." really captures it. At what point did you realize relationships with brands would outperform constantly chasing new products?

Most people picture an Amazon business as one guy scanning clearance products hoping he picked right. Mine looks nothing like that anymore. Pallets of bike cleaner coming off the truck by forklift. Boxes of oatmeal stacked to the ceiling. Thermal printers running FBA labels nonstop. A carrier van outside packed to the roof, scanning our shipment into Amazon's system. A real warehouse. Real team & volume moving every single day. But it didn't start here. It started in a garage. Laptop on a folding table. Boxes crammed into every corner. Me managing orders alone, wondering if this thing would ever become more than a side hustle. The difference between that garage and this warehouse wasn't luck. It was the model. I stopped hunting to resell products. Stopped fighting 50 other sellers for the same buy box. Stopped praying I picked the right product this month. Instead I built relationships with brands that send me consistent purchase orders. Revenue I can actually forecast. Partnerships that compound month after month instead of resetting every time inventory runs out. That garage version of me had no idea this was possible. The warehouse isn't the flex. The predictability is. This MODEL is. And it's available to anyone willing to put in the work to build it right.

@roeytechai I'd add one more: consistency beats intensity. A single great launch gets attention, but steady execution is what compounds over time.

Startup lessons (obvious early on but proven hard since): 1. Consistent shipping > perfect shipping 2. Talking to users > talking about users 3. Distribution skills > building skills

@CodeWithTamara That line, 'my progress feels like it belongs to me,' really stands out. Building skills that nobody can take away changes how you think about your future.

For most of my career, my future depended on someone choosing me. I once applied for 1 of 6 university positions. I didn’t get any of them. Even though I was qualified for all them. Then I discovered programming languages. I learned to code. I worked as an unpaid intern for 4 months. I built project after project. I became a paid AI engineer. I opened a company. For the first time, my progress feels like it belongs to me. No waiting to be selected. No wondering who had better connections. Just learning, building and getting better. That’s what I love most about tech, I am finally my own limit ❤️

@PhilOlwig That makes a lot of sense. We're building in the AI voice agent space, and this is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Maybe I should spend more time showing real customer interactions instead of just talking about features.

I think content, for example one of the new AI speech to text I actually started paying for is superwhisper, and I only started using it because I saw other people posting examples about it and content around it. I think make a good product and then have a ton of content created around it.

Today, I did a pretty big deal around 80k where I was basically the middle man on a high volume order between two people. Received product today and will be going out Monday, profited around $2,200, absolutely love these large volume easy transactions, B2B Distribution is awesome.

@PhilOlwig Thanks for sharing. I'm building an AI voice agent startup called Praveg, and one thing I'm struggling with is figuring out the best way to reach business owners. Since you've built businesses from scratch, what's one thing you'd focus on if you were in my position?

Do you mean like literally tasks I do or what I do during the day in general? For tasks, I am mainly doing higher level tasks or researching/implementing ways to grow the business or make something more efficient. Overall, I am at my computer desk all day and then during the day every now and then I will take a break and walk around the warehouse or take a short drive.

@alextsardoulias Most people compare the freedom of entrepreneurship to the routine of a job. They rarely compare the responsibility that comes with it.

@willpursell_dev Unless one of those changes makes someone more likely to buy. Context always matters.

3 things that won't make you a single dollar: ❌ Building extra cool features ❌ Doing "research" ❌ Updating the UI

@AnthonyGaenzle Originality usually comes from lived experience, not better prompts. Your perspective is the real differentiator.

If your content sounds like everyone else’s, adding more of it won’t solve the problem. Add more of yourself instead.

@dcmvlt Behind every "overnight success" is a call log nobody wants to scroll through.

@sridharfyi The best investor meetings aren't fundraising meetings—they're learning meetings. If you leave with better questions than you walked in with, it was time well spent.

every founder asks the same question. "when should i raise?" i think the better question is, "what have i learned since my last investor conversation?" capital rewards learning. not activity.

@2sush LinkedIn feels like a conversation between AI models while humans occasionally announce they're "excited to share..." 😅

LinkedIn is where AI writes, AI comments, and humans update their job status.😅

@PhilOlwig Hey Phil, appreciate you taking the time to reply earlier. I was curious—how do you actually run your day as a founder? There's a lot of advice online, but I'm more interested in what you actually do.

@buildwithbani Well I think that it is always good to talk to other founders, but I dont know about saying more than reading ever could, because it is hard to get information or learn from the top dogs in the industry because they wont waste time on you, but you can read books on them.

@PhilOlwig I agree. Talking to founders gives context, but books compress decades of experience into a few hundred pages. Both seem to play different roles.
