What are the chances of a Subsidiary in getting accepted to YC? Have you had any case like this previously?

P.S.: I'm talking about a case where only the subsidiary has applied for YC and that subsidiary is making a different product than what the parent company is making.

I guess I'm not opposed, but I'm not sure we've done it before. Generally we don't like complexity though, so we'd want to be sure you're truly an independent subsidiary.

We use Google Apps too but the services are up and running perfectly.

On googling, I realized this is a common issue reported multiple time.

Few things that you would like to consider and think: - Did you guys just started using Google Apps. If yes, then it takes around 24 hours for the services to get activated. - The admin might have suspended the account. - Are you sure your payments for Google Apps are going through? We faced a similar problem once when we had a problem with our Credit Card.

I ran through these before posting. I'm the admin | on automatic billing, with last payment made September 2nd | been a google apps customer 6 months. Last night everything was working fine. I've made no changes.

It's very weird I can't reach anyone on their support line. It's just ringing out.

Correction: Reliance is not India's newest telco. Jio, their new brand, just launched with these plans. :)

Not really :)

"Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited" is a new a telecom operator. Reliance Industries Limited, the parent company, doesn't own any other telecom operator.

Oh. I see. My bad then. :P

Here's some info on this from TC: https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/01/a-spacex-falcon-9-rocket-j...

I came across Indie Hackers on PH few days back. Loving it and this was insightful. Thanks! :D

We learn from mistakes, don't we? Good luck for your launch. Keen to know what you're building. Looking forward to it. :D

Yes I hope so. I probably won't fail in the exact same way this time :-) You can find links to the stuff I'm building via my profile

(sorry for the late reply, didn't notice the new comments here until I noticed my HN karma points had changed)

Feel free to suggest a better title. :)

Imran, I already loved your idea. Hunted it on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/tech/fnsh It's a beautiful app! :)

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Install BotBrew and use it as FTP/Web/File Server.

Use it as a Chromecast controller.

Maybe build a cool robo/drone/tool using Arduino and use your phone to control it.

Maybe, as a paperweight too? Even a non-functional phone would work here! :D

Robots might destroy jobs, but also create new jobs for us.

It's like innovative products - which might make some products obsolete but also makes space for more innovation and other products that would've not existed otherwise. :)
