Build With Boo: notes from a confused college student who is trying to build something instead of just thinking about it

By Boobesh AG, founder of Gari Tech, content marketing agency in Chennai

This is the first issue of the Build With Boo newsletter, sent on 15 January 2026 to the Start The Up community.

Hey hi,

I'm Boobesh (aka booooo) 👋

You're getting this mail because at some point, you shared your email in Start The Up community. Maybe for an event, a form, a session, or just out of curiosity. So yeah, this mail is not spam. You opted for it somewhere. 🙂

Let me tell you who I am, very honestly.

I'm a college student, just like you. I love exploring things. I try a lot of stuff. Some things work, many things fail. I'm that guy who is a jack of all trades, master of none.

Right now, I'm wearing many shoes at the same time:

  • Founder of GARI TECH
  • Built a small Chrome extension called Focus Flow
  • Doing content creation on Instagram and LinkedIn
  • Running a student community called Start The Up
  • And still figuring out life, money, direction, relationships, everything

I'm not writing this because I figured things out. I'm writing this because I haven't.

Why I started this newsletter

Many of my friends keep asking me questions like:

  • What should I study?
  • What skill should I learn?
  • How do I use college life properly?
  • Everyone is doing something, I feel stuck
  • Startup or Job?

Honestly, I don't have perfect answers. But I have experience. Trying. Failing. Learning. Getting clarity slowly.

So instead of replying the same things again and again, I thought, why not write it down and share it with people like me?

That's how Build With Boo started.

What you will get from this newsletter

Very simple and very real.

In future mails, I'll talk about things like:

  • Money and earning as a student
  • Direction and confusion in college life
  • Startups, business, and career thoughts
  • How to land a dream job
  • Skills, growth, and mistakes
  • And yes, relationships too, because nobody really talks about it honestly

I'll share what I know. I'll also share what I don't know.

No motivation speeches. No pretending to be successful. Only honest thoughts and clarity.

About timing and plan

This newsletter is not on fixed days. But the next mail will come tomorrow (16-01-2026). After that, I'll always tell you in the mail when the next one is coming.

I want to write only when I have something real to say.

By the way, if you didn't subscribe, you can subscribe here.

If this mail felt relatable, or if you felt like "Yeah, this newsletter will be useful for me", just reply to this mail. One word is also fine. That's enough for me to continue.

TATA BYE BYE! See you tomorrow!

Boobesh AG (aka) Boo
