Can I promote my product here?
The rules page shows nothing published, so promotion is unknown. The moderator one liner asks that posts stay focused on finding a co-founder in India, so a plain product ad does not fit that focus.

Rule summary
No subreddit-specific rules were displayed on the public rules page when Rankhog verified it on 2026-10-28.
Works well
- A short introduction post that says who you are, what you are building, and what kind of co-founder you are looking for
- A clear ask post that names your startup idea in one or two sentences so the right person can find you
- A post that describes the role you need filled, such as a developer, marketer, or designer, so people can self match
- A story post about a business challenge you face and the kind of partner who would help you solve it
- A respectful reply to someone else's intro post where your skills genuinely fit their idea
Avoid
- Posting a product advertisement that has nothing to do with finding a co-founder
- Dropping a link with no explanation of who you are or what partner you need
- Sending cold, pushy private messages to people who posted their own ideas
- Being rude or unprofessional when someone reaches out to you
- Posting about topics unrelated to the co-founder search the moderator asked for
- Writing a vague post that never states your idea or the role you need filled
What r/IndianCofounders Is For
r/IndianCofounders is a community for founders, builders, and dreamers across India who want to find the right co-founder to start or grow a business. The description names the kinds of people welcome here, developers, marketers, designers, operators, and anyone with a strong business idea. People post to connect with like minded folks, share their vision, and explore potential partnerships. The core purpose is written right into the description, use this space to find a cofounder for your startup idea. So if you are a founder or marketer reading this, your place here is as someone looking to build together, not as someone broadcasting to an audience.
What To Post
The moderator one liner says it plainly, keep your posts focused on finding a co-founder in India, so every post you make should connect back to that goal. The best shape here is a clear introduction. Say who you are, what you are building, and what kind of person you want beside you. The survival tips in the brief say to introduce yourself and your startup idea clearly to attract the right co-founder, and to be respectful and professional when reaching out to potential partners. Put those two together and you get a simple recipe. Write a short, honest post about your idea and the gap in your team. Then answer people who reply with the same politeness you would use in a job interview. If you do marketing for a living, the honest move is to say that upfront and offer it as a skill you bring to a partnership, not as a service you sell.
What To Avoid
There are no published rules to list here, so I cannot tell you a named rule that gets posts removed. What I can tell you comes from the moderator one liner, which asks that posts stay focused on finding a co-founder in India. That tells me posts with no connection to that goal are the risk. A generic ad for your product, a link drop with no context, or a pitch that never mentions looking for a partner would all drift away from what the moderator asked for. The survival tips also warn against reaching out to potential partners without respect and professionalism. So avoid pushy private messages, avoid talking down to people, and avoid treating the community like a lead list.

Yes. The description welcomes anyone with a strong business idea and says to use the space to find a cofounder for your startup idea.
