Rolling In: Better U

🎉 Whooo hooo! 23 registrations already for Better U, despite our super low-tech approach. A Notion page, a UPI ID, and Google Forms - that's all it took to get started.

Ironically, we owe thanks to Razorpay for suspending our not-for-profit account without reason, and to Niti Aayog for the endless DARPAN certificate delay. Obtaining this document was an odyssey rivaling a Mars mission, complete with a perpetually down website.

Our planned 15 Dec launch kept slipping away. Even today, Instamojo has locked us out of our account. It felt like the universe was conspiring against our launch! 🚀😝

For a month, my integrity has been gnawing at me. I promised myself: launch on Pongal, no matter what. What better day for a new beginning? So, amidst ongoing challenges, I whipped up a Notion page, secured the UPI ID for our foundation account, and here we are - Better U is rolling out!

Despite these setbacks, our mission remains crystal clear. I believe Better U's value far outweighs these struggles.
