The five tags — when to use which

Every post starts with a tag so the rest of the community can scan the feed in seconds. Here's how to pick the right one.

[NEED]

You want something tangible — a client, a hire, an intro, a service, a co-founder.

e.g. "Looking for a Flutter dev for a 2-week sprint. Budget: ₹1.5L."

[OFFER]

You can do something for the community — a skill, a service, a free slot.

e.g. "Offering free 30-min CTO calls this week for early-stage founders."

[INTRO]

Introduce yourself — who you are, what you're working on, what you can help with, what you need.

e.g. "Hi, I'm Priya from Bangalore, building a B2B SaaS for retail. Happy to help with Postgres / Stripe. Looking for a design co-founder."

[WIN]

Celebrate a real milestone — a launch, a deal, a raise, a first customer. Keep it to actual wins, not daily motivation posts.

e.g. "Just shipped v1 🚀 link in bio."  ·  "Closed my first 6-figure client today, thanks to an intro from this group 🙏"

[ASK]

You want advice, opinions, or experience from the community — not a hire or a service.

e.g. "How are you handling GDPR as an Indian company selling to EU customers?"  ·  "Anyone tried Cursor vs Claude Code for daily dev? What stuck?"

Rule of thumb: [NEED] is transactional (hire / buy / contract). [ASK] is conversational (what would you do?). If unsure, pick [ASK].

How moderation works

When you post, our AI moderator checks your message against the rules above within a few seconds. If it's clean, it's broadcast to the group. If it breaks a rule, we'll show you why — and you can revise and try again, or request a human review.

What Aana Network is not

Aana Network is a text-only networking platform. We connect people. We don't hold money, mediate payment disputes, verify contracts, or settle disagreements between members. If a connection you made here leads to a deal, a project, a hire — those are yours to manage. Do your due diligence, write your own agreements, and resolve disputes directly with the other party.

We don't support image, audio, video, or file attachments. Posts and DMs are text only. If you need to share media, use a different channel (email, cloud storage) that both of you trust.
