LinkedIn outreach for Indian founders

An IP address in India by default, caps that reset at midnight IST, searches by city, and notes in plain English. What fits, and what to watch.

Updated

What fits out of the box

  • Your account's own static IP address is in India by default, so your LinkedIn session keeps appearing from where you actually are.
  • Daily caps reset at midnight India time, because the server runs on Indian time.
  • Terms are governed by the laws of India, courts of Mumbai, and support is at hello@connectedoutreach.com.

Which IP country to pick

Keep India if you sign in to LinkedIn from India. The address is about where your session appears to be, not where your leads are. A founder in Bengaluru selling to buyers in the United States should still pick India; picking the United States would make the account look as if it had moved. The other countries (India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands or Singapore) are there for founders who actually live and sign in there.

Reaching buyers in India

Run a LinkedIn people search with the city as the location, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and the title that buys from you, then paste the link into Search Export. One city and one title at a time gives a tighter list than a national search with three titles. Trim by headline before any request goes out.

Reaching buyers abroad

Same search, different location in the link. Your notes should say where you are: people reply to a founder in Pune who says so more readily than to one who hides it. Sequences run on their own from your cloud browser, so the hour you launch a run doesn't decide when the follow-up lands; the wait step does.

Notes that get read

Plain English, first names, one true detail about the person, no pitch. Leave out honorifics you wouldn't use if you met them for chai, and leave out the word 'esteemed'. The AI notes here are written to that shape: short, no emoji, no exclamation marks, one detail from the person's headline or company. How long a note should be has examples.

Paying

Prices are in US dollars: $29 a month, $78 every 3 months, $139 every 6 months, $239 a year. Dodo Payments handles the checkout. If it isn't right for you, ask within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full.

Two example searches

Samples, not a recipe. For a founder selling an HR tool: a LinkedIn people search with location Bengaluru and title HR Manager, pasted into Search Export, asking for a hundred people. For a founder selling to consumer brands: title Founder and industry Retail in the lead finder form, then trim by headline to the brands that fit. Each search of a hundred is a working week of requests, and three of them use the month's finds.

Working across time zones

You don't have to be awake when a follow-up goes out. Sequences run from your cloud browser on the wait you set, and Message Sender runs when you launch it, from wherever you are. What you do have to do is read replies in your own hours and answer them yourself; a founder who replies the next morning, plainly, does better than one who answers at once with a template.

What to watch

  • The caps are the same for everyone: 20 connection requests a day and at most 100 in any 7 days. A new account should start below them, at Slow pace.
  • If you also use LinkedIn by hand a lot, remember that LinkedIn counts those invitations too.
  • Automation is against LinkedIn's terms, in India as anywhere. We lower the risk; we don't remove it. The safety page says what we do and don't claim.
