What u think about my Master plan? 
I'm 26 yrs old saved 9 Lac, no much responsibility. 
Planning to put that 7 lack in post office senior citizen scheme, which pays 8.2% intrest. Get that amount quarterly and invest in nifty bees for next 4 yr? Is this dumb or worth it?

Is this a dumb idea?

Technical Director

After going through so many posts on grapevine..I feel like all the startups in India are toxic only 😕😕

Really want to know which are the startups worthy of joining? Preferably in product roles

Non toxic startups in India?

Reason given by investors on Mojocare sounds very fishy. At one end they are blaming the founder for embezzlement while on other end they are blaming market conditions and unsustainable business model for the layoff of employees. Doglapan?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

The new policies introduced by CFO Subramaniam in last 6 months have dented company's revenue massively.

His decisions will show results in long term, but in short term they are incurring losses. In the last investor meeting held with peak xv and softbank, this is the question investors were putting-
1. Why the personal distribution policy of educators was implemented without concrete plan in place?
2. Why growth declined in some of the most profit making businesses?
3. Why were educators being paid heavily without including S&M cost and Tech cost to their revenue?
4. Why suddenly there was a mass dropout of existing educators who were helping in driving revenue?

Good or for Bad, investors feel that decisions lacked ownership and growth intent.

Peak xv and softbank decided to replace CFO with their internal finance consultant, likely Jai Decosta.

What is your take on the decision?

Why was unacademy CFO fired?

It announced fundrise from peakXV (previously Sequoia).

From what I can deduce, they diluted a bit too much. But, I hope that the founding team makes a good one from this!

Cheers Michael bhai!

Badhai ho grapevine!

Analyst

He scammed 1000s of people and suddenly finding himself in critical situation. Looks like PR teams are running out of Ideas! 

P.S. - Despite all regulators raising flags about 10-day MBA as fraud, the team is still using “the critical illness” opportunity to plug that in. 

No mercy, no sympathies for such fraudsters!!

Did sequoia have an ownership target? How does your team and you feel post the funding? What can we expect as a next step? How soon will the monetisation bug kick in?
