Advertising and marketing I guess. And of course to Messi.

Imagine if they have invested that much money on gpus, their own cloud infrastructure facilities or Ai

The sales model for the beginning was flawed. Using fear mongering or scaring tactics, no CS after sales.

I really wanna see it crash and burn. This guy and DG should be in jail for money laundering, fraud among other things. While the company was firefighting last year, this guy along with DG sold 300M USD worth of share to ensure a golden parachute for themselves in case it all goes down. Keeping his house as collateral for paying salaries was just PR from his team. The damage they have done to startup ecosystem in India is massive.

If it crashes, I guess many it’s gonna shake investors confidence in Indian startups

Their last funding round was in 2022, they raised $250 million. They are now looking to raise more than $100 million at a steep 90% discount to its $22 billion valuation.

Never. If any of the investors suspected this company won't survive they would have pulled out along time ago. The fact it is still functioning with 8k loss means they will probably never close untill some big external event like a antiedtech government policy or something.

They are now looking to raise more than $100 million at a steep 90% discount to its $22 billion valuation. I believe all is not well with existing stakeholders.

Hopefully soon, they're still scamming. Our maid got into their loan unknowingly. Trial, they told her - but no way to cancel it

They even sold loans and used all sort of tactics to recover them
