An Indian founder and YouTuber walks through validating an idea with a mix of interviews, landing pages, and community posts, aimed at the way most people build now that AI tools make shipping cheap. Useful if you want a modern, India-facing take that assumes cheap building and still insists you talk to real users first. A good reset for founders tempted to skip interviews because building got easier.

On Varun Mayya by Varun Mayya

  • Cheaper building tools have not changed how much interview signal you need before committing.
  • Combine interviews with lightweight tests like landing pages, do not rely on either alone.
  • Online communities can supply interview subjects faster than cold outreach.
