Glassdoor review says it's very toxic and full of politics and they force to resign

I checked that that's why wanted to know, but from what I saw it was more 3d artists saying this and not tech people

Software Engineer

I had a chat with 1 of the employee I also applied for SDE-1 UI engineer role. He said old people are moving out and the work they do is not relevant to anywhere else, so it's a no. I asked for a referral. He said, he will give me a referral but if I get selected he will feel bad. Although he gave me, I didn't get any call, and he told me it's better if you don't get it.  
  
 So I went through Glassdoor reviews as well and he was right it seems

How is the work culture at Medibuddy?
Asking specifically on the tech and product side of things

People who are there or have worked do share your thoughts

Medibuddy

I am interviewing at AppsforBharat.
Is there anyone who is working there or used to and can shed some light on the work culture and financial situation of the company?

AppsforBharat culture and financial condition

•⁠  ⁠One thing is clear - AI is going to take away jobs, and not just engineers.
•⁠  ⁠So many "AI & SaaS" startups are just plain OpenAI wrappers. Their teams know what can be done "faster, better,smoother" but don't know how. One company even credited them in their poster. Well, honest at least 💁‍♀️
•⁠  ⁠They let in too many nibbi/nibbas and there were queues everywhere
•⁠  ⁠People selling skin brightening creams in 2024 is still very weird to me
•⁠  There's an electric cycle startup called Booty (i'm not making this up 💁‍♀️)
•  In all, the management was very good. Food was expensive though 😢 
•⁠  ⁠Best is the picture below, how Biryani tends to find me. This time the dogs are having fun too!

Perplexity raises $73.6M from the likes of some big names like Jeff Bezos, Naval, Balaji, NVIDIA. 
Just last month Mistral raised more than $400M in its second funding. AI based startups are the future I guess?

Site Reliability

Has anyone worked with this startup? 

Heard it's air pollution product doesn't work but it passed IIT tests. My brothers' salaries are not paid, and their founder is more interested in discipline and OKR vs. sales. He pays nepo kids and yes men high salaries apparently. Why are startups screwed up like this. Vcs have invested in.them.and it.is against their interst to.take up these issues despite such narcissistic idiotic founders getting VC importance

Hello grapeviners,

Wanted to know about Anakin startup. Any idea on how good the startup is? What is its future potential and should I look forward to join it? Insights would be very useful 🙂

Anakin review!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey everyone. 

Thought I could do an AMA. A bit about me - have 4 years of work experience and graduated from a non engineering college. Was at a startup before (from Series B to Series D) before becoming a VC

Personally look at consumer and B2B investments here 

Happy to answer any questions around life as a junior VC, startup ecosystem, career growth etc.

AMA: I work at a large VC Fund focusing on early stage investments

This is the biggest problem with VC ecosystem 4 yoe kids taking calls on experienced, hardworking founders. Dude first learn the game then invest , judge people playing the game. VCs know nothing about how to run startups. Unless they have been entrepreneurs themselves. IMO It's a colossal waste of talent to become a VC for young PPL.

Investment Associate

The Startup that you had an offer from but did not join, and then it went big? (Let's take a word from VCs, how they like to use anti portfolio lists on their sites - cos they got an opportunity to enter but missed)

What's your anti-startup

PM here with 3.8 YoE, got an offer from a B2C/B2B company for PM position. Full time wfo, based out of Mumbai. Offering 20 lpa fixed. Verbally said will be starting ESOPs from next month and eyeing to go public in the next 2 years.

Yay or nay?

Heard from company references and also they have launched an app for astrologer onboarding

Founder

Hey Guys 
Currently I am in my pre final year of my college (IIT) and had done 4 good pm interns and looking forward to launch my startup. Like I have Built the MVP after doing a bit of market and user research.

Can you help me in making my initial team . Like what factors to look and how to onboard co founders , feels difficult to build alone

Hey guys, I am building a personal finance management, essentially FinTech in India ￼ to give users, a smart banking experience without any neobanking bullshit .

Don’t have to open a new bank account to have great features like a Jupiter has. Not selling credits. And great user experience.

The best part to track and manage your finances, I don’t ask for your gmail access or do any SMS scraping so what do you think? ￼

Honest feedback on my startup

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Hey, 
I've started a fleet management company I.e we take cars from owners give them out for rent and make a good chuck of margin out of it. 
We are going the Franchise route to expand faster. At this stage we need a little bit of investment to get to market aggressively. 
Our revenue for 23 - 24 is 35 Lakhs, we are projected to hit 55 - 60 lakhs this financial year.
Apart form the investment looking for a good team cause it has only been me since the beginning.

Hi GV, I’m a 22 year old dev in Bangalore building a product that allows you to run resource intensive applications in the cloud!

The moonshot here is an OS that runs on the cheapest computers, but connects to powerful remote servers, allowing you to run any application you want so you are no longer limited by your hardware if you don’t have a powerful PC.

Currently I am able to support VSCode and Blender. I’m looking for feedback so feel free to play devil’s advocate and ask me questions about it. I know GV is the best platform for this.

Here’s the early access link, I would be very happy to give you a demo. Please mention “Grapevine” while filling it out. TIA!

Made with Tally, the simplest way to create forms.

Need feedback + beta testers for my internet computer startup

Which startup has the most toxic work culture?

Ola.  
 I doubt there’s any startup which comes even close in terms of Ola’s toxicity.
