🪡 Founders - who get it right?

Sriharsha from Swiggy. Doesn’t believe in personal pr, branding. Busy in building.

Head Of Growth

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

- Deepinder Goyal has become a billionaire following a record rally in Zomato shares, which have surged over 300% since July 2023.
- Zomato's stock hit a new high of Rs230 on the BSE, boosting its market cap past Rs1.8 trillion and making Goyal India's richest professional manager with a net worth of Rs8,300 crore.
- The surge in stock is driven by expectations that Zomato's quick commerce business, Blinkit, will outperform peers and turn profitable sooner than anticipated.
- Analysts expect Blinkit to surpass Zomato's food delivery business in gross order value (GOV) and strengthen its market position, despite a longer path to sustainable EBITDA margins.
- Goldman Sachs values Blinkit at $13 billion, higher than Zomato's core food delivery business, predicting significant growth in GOV and EBITDA by FY29.

Zomato Founder-CEO Deepinder Goyal Joins Billionaire Club

One founder who truly inspires me!

- Founded Zomato in 2008 and was doing a completely different thing
- First business model failed. Did global expansion across many countries did not work out
- But created an excellent product: most reliable catalogue of restaurants and reviews
- Got into delivery after Swiggy and others
- Executes like a machine. Raised smaller rounds, cross Swiggy GMV, revenue, was first to get to unit profitability.
- BlinkIt acquisition
- Best startup IPO so far in India 

Truly the grit an entrepreneur must have. 16 years of building. It isn't easy, I am sure.

Literally, every single Founder I've encountered here seems to be an old, regressive, hard-headed boomer who hates the younger generation for their freedom.
 
Go through some DINK or WFH or Salary Rant posts and you'll be able to spot them. They are rigid in their mindset and call anyone who disagrees a degenerate, entitled, and (my personal favourite) 'influenced by the western media' lol.

Let's just ignore these morons and keep on bettering our life

Why is every single "Founder" here an a*shole?

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD 

To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! 

Cheers!

Founder kaun hai ?

Real Estate

While people jost the jobs, founders will enjoy their vacations in Maldives. Don't worry India me bhi yahi hone wala hai abhi 70hrs ka demand hoga, jab startup bankruptcy file karenge tab founders massive cash deposits ke sath vacations pe jayenge, buy big houses and mercedes. And later blame the people because we didn't put 70hrs enough.

Unlike WeWork’s misfortunes, former CEO and co-founder Adam Neumann has seen a different financial trajectory. 

WeWork bankruptcy: Co-founder Adam Neumann’s wealth soared as company struggled

Dear founders. Still want to play victim card???

Recently I was talking to a girl who was working a startup in BLR. She left the startup with some horrendous experiences. This startup was working from a startup hostel in BLR. Things she told me shook me. She was dating the founder.

So this founder who claims to be on his 2nd startup dates his own employees and then blackmails them.
The average age of his employees is 24. All these girls that he dates are not above 23/24

Apparently this guy has 2 court cases against him. One for fraud and one for a rape case. Both of them are not easily found online. He uses VC money to keep in under the hood.

The fraud case is about his first startup which was a stolen idea apparently. 

This guy’s whole life is fake.
He claims to be an IIT Madras dropout, but he's from some local college. 

There are rumours that one of the girls he dated tried to kill herself because he allegedly filmed them.

He also does not pay salaries for months to his employees but compensates by giving them expensive gifts.

He claims his parents are IAS officers but we checked and they are not. 

His last startup was around around AUTH and current one is around Fintech

Girls and boys stay away from working with such shady startups.

Interesting, the whole story is about unknown man with unknown startup. Thanks for such an insightful post.

Any thoughts on this. Why do Founders always portray themselves as superheroes? Is normal job only meant for peasants like us?

Investors are pulling the plug. The startup is winding down. Chaotic scenes inside.

Justifying layoff with AI-AI-AI😂 RIP Dukaan customers

Add founder to tagline and crack watsapp level jokes is new hustle

Founder found hustling on LinkedIn🤪

Another startup that could have been something had it not been for the bull market and Tiger investing unnecessarily. Over $66Mn raised, and now it's over.

Hey everyone! 
Sorry for the title. 

I had applied for a company, based out of Hyderabad. A startup, hiring for its founding full-stack engineer. 
The founder had sent their calendly link to schedule the meeting. 
I scheduled once, joined and waited long enough to receive an email saying that he got caught up in another meeting. The email explicitly said how sorry they were. 
Scheduled again, cancelled 5 mins prior because of a conflicting meeting. 
They apologized again, sent the calendly link, I rescheduled. I had an personal emergency because of which I couldn't attend so I sent an email, 5 MINS BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED, asking to reschedule. 
They shared the link, I rescheduled and they completely ghosted me. 

They think they belong to the top of the world or something, because of a fricking startup? Although it's YC funded but that doesn't give them horns! 
So I'm going to name and shame the company.

Egotistical Founder - Such a prick!

Startup founders who are trying to turn influencers are always trying to paint themselves as champions and superbeings while the real truth about being a Founder is that one always feels vulnerable. Is this behaviour by startup founders leading to TOXIC POSITIVITY?
