No community, no marketplace
Choice: No forum, feed, DMs, follows, upvotes or comments. No doctor booking (a referral is a link-out only) and no product marketplace or affiliate content. Revenue is the B2C household subscription in year 1, B2B2C later. Ads are permanently out. See ai-not-community.
Why: India's parenting-content plays all died as content or community businesses: Momspresso (sold to Mamaearth in 2021, mostly goodwill), TinyStep (distressed sale, 2022), BabyChakra (absorbed into a DTC rollup). Globally, Peanut struggles to monetise and ad-funded apps conflict with trust in a medical-adjacent product. Doctor booking brings liability and commission conflicts; a marketplace puts editorial against commerce.
Rejected: community/UGC · doctor marketplace · product marketplace · ads.
