Can you promote in r/startupindia?
Startup Community For Indians
The short answer
If engaging publicly, give helpful, non-promotional answers; if you must mention your company/product do so briefly for transparency and direct people to the Saturday pinned thread or modmail as needed.
What works here
- Posting promotions or surveys on Saturdays
- Using the Weekly Pinned Megathread for promotion on other days
- Asking moderators via ModMail for clarification
What gets posts removed
- Posting promotional content or solicitation on Sunday–Friday
- Self-promotion in normal threads or comments outside allowed threads
- Posting surveys, crowdfunding, or link-spam outside the pinned thread/day
