This is very interesting. Either Kunal moulds his employees into business thinkers or they get frustrated out of rat race and enter startup journey

Neither... They realise really money lies not in building a profitable business but raising funds by selling worthless ideas as future businesses.

I get it, cred's final pivot would be to become an accelerator

Product Manager

How many of these are actually good businesses, time would tell.

I didn't know this, former CRED employees really? 
 Must be an inspiring and learning environment working there.

No no…..no no no no….no no no no no no…..   
    
 Dammit! When I was looking for a job, I dint apply to even one of these guys?????? Matlab how????🤦‍♀️  
  
 Request to the OP - can we pls refrain from the “mafia” naming. It was already taken by the startup’s in them Flipkart,InMobi,Swiggy era. Nothing can even remotely match up to the InMobi mafia!

Cred is the next byju. Run before shit hits the fan

Growth Manager

The amount of indecision in this company is why most of the people leave.  
  
 Intellectual masturbation is more than Johnny Sins would have ever done in his carrier.  
  
 People who have been there from the beginning have become so insecure about being relevant that they have created corridors for how ideas should pass in the system.  
  
 I know some of these folks & few more who have left and are in stealth. All say the same thing. Some even mentioned that cred salary has priced them out of the market & change means taking a cut. But as human nature has it, we would rather do subpar work over taking lower salaries and do something meaningful. 
  
 End of rant!

Sare Mafia banter ja rahe hai koi dhandha bhi banayega ya bas kuchh bhi aattu tatti bana ke scam karte rahenge

More like 28 startups no one has heard of.

90% of these I’m hearing for the 1st time. 
 Unnecessary glamourisation 🤦‍♂️

I don't know about CRED, but this dude here is Mafia for sure 💯

Cred is a Mafia it seems 😂- Grapevine

Cred is truly a topic of surprise for me. Yes, I understand it has created a community of top spenders/credit worthy people in India. I also understand that they can use the information on such people for creating value for themselves.

Being a cred user, I only use it to pay the bills. I really wonder if they have built any b2b business or alternative source of income beyond what's seen to the end user. What's the game plan for the cred? 

I also applaud the fact that cred hasn't laid off people having paid them better than most companies. I really wonder if the business is really that strong or the conviction is. Would you join cred if given a chance to work there?

Cred

I feel cred is doomed and just trying to increase its value. 
 And the end goal is to sell the cred to someone with higher value and make money.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Almost every cred user has half a million cred coins. Of what use are they?

What if cred makes their entry in crypto?

Cred folks shed some light, is a new ad coming or something else is brewing up

Whats up with Cred

Is Cred a business or just a long party? If they are a business then how do they make money? What do they stand for - currently it just looks like a hangout place for super privileged bros?

What is Cred’s business model?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I don’t work for CRED or have anything to do with them but I’ve been seeing a lot anti CRED or Kunal Shah posts here. 

Did I miss out on some interesting/ entertaining news or is it just a frustrated candidate who didn’t get in or a customer who’s had a bad exp?

What’s with the recent CRED hate on the app

Assistant Manager

What problems would Indian and Global startups be solving in the next decade, or they would be just throwing random yearly new buzz words and as usual VCs would be having orgasms on these buzz words.

I mean real problems.

Saw an ad by Mobikwik where they are mocking cred. After bharatpe debacle, Mobikwik extra is doing good and firm is profitable as well.

What do you think about Mobikwik in world of Paytm, phone pe and gpay post IPO??

Distrust predictions; even economists err. Avoid armchair experts and celebrity founders' opinions.

Let's ignore what's wrong with startups, keep this an optimistic thread. Which startups make you excited about their future? 
The ones that have cracked product, GTM, model, or something else.
