Let’s call out some fake tech gurus and which can be of help for overall tech community Can you share some fake tech gurus that you have encountered in your work For eg 1. Mukund mohan was popular in tech circles for gayan on startup’s etc before his arrest

Am I missing any trend or do they have FOMO?

For more read this - https://twitter.com/SatarkAadmi/status/1701565930650706306?t=6Jc3F0GFktmfPTL1TFkYUw&s=19 Muted him everywhere some 6 months back, this was destined to happen. He sadly became the face of fintech/edtech/startups without any in-depth knowledge, he used to just copy paste articles and content from everywhere and claimed to know the ecosystem very well. Also very strange how he became a senior team member at Testbook with all these fake degrees? Puts a question mark on the credibility of such startups who endorse these f*ckers! Gone for the good!

In my org people have been creating that vibe where they are very sophisticated about their actions, the way they speak etc, they behave like we are working in a US based startup where they are using western lingo and all together a different way to communicate. I have worked in other startups in other cities but didn’t find this type of culture. Is this common or am I missing something? What are your thoughts?

Kya dikat hai bhai, udane do paisa. Tumhare thodi hai. Good firms genuinely perform well and return money. The ecosystem is not forgiving -- you don't survive very long if you don't create any big wins. It's an extremely high stress job with very little WLB. You do make money but it comes at a cost. Layoffs are sad but at least those jobs existed in the first place? They wouldn't without VC money. India's VC scene is extremely young and it'll take time before we produce a Google. Entrepreneurs are not always right, they are not always nice either; but they definitely are courageous.

Disclaimer this is not a rant or this has nothing to put in bad way someones hard work. With so many ppl making tutorials and selling courses online, I had my few observations. I welcome ppl to join on this discussion with their point of views as well. The most important things is you need a solid company name on your resume, doesn’t matter what work you might have done there. Everyone knows the meatiest work in google is done at west coast office(just an example). This gives you the starting point, I would not disagree to the fact that these guys put on the hard work to crack the interviews, but that doesn’t mean you start selling a dream to everyone. It will be like what harshad mehta did to his clients during the days. If a person is working in some unknown company and even though the person teaches really well, I bet there will be hardly any takers for his/her course. Teaching is an art as per me, not everyone can be a great teacher. There are some good ones out there but majority of them don’t fall under above category. I would say they are social media influencers with a bit of tech knowledge. We have already lost a generation with rot learning and now with the rise of these ppl, the day is not far way when a person aceing the interview knows jack shit when given an actual problem to solve at workplace.
