Saddest part is they operate in health. And they well might be operating on patents who could be treated conservatively.

Fucking stupid how they're even being allowed to operate still. They should have shut shop ages ago and returned investor money.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

A few months ago I had posted here how Pristyn care was completely a sham and exploited fears.

The reality as reported -

An honest recommendation - stay away from these guys. They basically exist to make money out of the insurers.

Pristyn Care - the wolf in sheep's clothing- Grapevine

Context: Took my parent for a Piles checkup as the issue was flaring up. The first thing they checked was my insurance coverage details. The consulting doctor (more of a quack) recommended immediate surgery as 'it may lead to much greater complication if left untreated'. Inwas ready to go for it but my spouse recommended we see more doctors. Both the other doctors (very reputed) said this doesnt need a surgery and that my parent would need some rest and palliative care and that it would be ok in a few weeks. This is what exactly happened.
Funny part - this was two years ago, but since my number was the registered number, I still get periodic calls asking me if I had decided to go ahead with the surgery and that Piles can only be managed with a surgery.
The founder in any case, from his prolific Linkedin usage, seems like a righteous jerk who would rather believe that employees should not be expect compensation but be as loyal as dogs.

Is Pristyn Care an unethical sham?

What's happening at Pristyn Care? Hearing a lot about gaps in their business models and how they are pushing people to opt for surgeries!

Pristyn Care-too many troubles?

Growth Manager

Some founders are so toxic that their business outcomes can be very well predicted. As expected, Pristyn is showing its real colors. 

If you don’t know, the guy in-between is famous worldwide(saw it floating on Blind, Reddit) for his hiring tips ;)

Looks like “Harsh Hiring tips” aren’t working

I'll go first: Scaler, Byju’s and MBA chaiwala

Lybate Founders not paid 60-80% of their dues by Pristyn Care

One of my friends had taken insurance through even. So to put some lights he got admitted to the hospital on Monday, he got discharge approval yesterday(Wednesday )around 1pm, the insurance claim was begun around that time and he is still there waiting at hospital after spending an extra night in the hospital.

When you call them and ask, they just say they dont have any update, this process has taken more than 18 hours now. Still waiting at the hospital and writing the review here (Thursday ) Please don't ever buy insurance from them.

Even healthcare is ridiculous

Software Developer

Why was he not working during the operation? Such a disappointment. You create culture on death bed too.

Investor

Hope you all are doing great.

So I have a question in my mind regarding this company called Jobsurance.

What do you guys think of the business model and overall use case of this company which is betting on an insurance on a job?

Folks are calling out Upcred.ai for non-sensical JD. I was surprised to learn it’s a Cred (invested)company 😂

What an asshole. Would have punched him if he was my boss.

Project Manager

Excerpt: Rolled out in 2023, Swiggy’s gold, silver, and bronze rankings for its gig workforce are based on a dynamic rating system — it changes weekly depending on the quality and quantity of work. Workers with a higher ranking get perks such as the ability to book the following week’s shifts in advance and “attractive interest rates” on personal loans. The program also includes health insurance as a benefit, which can change every week.

Gamification at its peak- perks to delivery partner on basis of their weekly performance

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!!

Okay, so this happened to me last year. I was approached by a college alumni (got my number from college alumni group) who told me he had a side business going on which was leading him to earn more money than his corporate job and that he was going to leave the corporate for his “business”.

I was initially not interested but he was insistent and also I was looking to explore some options (may be my naïveté) that I asked him more and so he setup a call with his senior to explain more about this “business”.

Now this senior gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how to reach financial independence and picking up on the general mindset of how to make more money. They asked to create a list of 10 things that I desired the most at the point of time which could be solved with more money. I complied thinking it was a good exercise (again, I was a big fool). Now I was connected with another senior who gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how I could make more money and lead to financial independence.

Please note, during all this time I was constantly asking what the business idea was and how it would be achieved but got no response on the details and only white washing regarding how I should be prepared to do anything to achieve my dreams.

Now, it was revealed that I would need to put in 5L as investment to get bigger returns. Since I did not have that money in handy, I was suggested to get a personal loan through their agents. Also not to inform this to parents because they won’t understand this stuff and get “worried”. Luckily I did went with their suggestion and informed my parent about it. Thinking it was a startup idea, I got the investment from my father through an OD in my name.

Now we get onto a call two days later, where they reveal the company QNet and makes me purchase 5L of stuff from their website and explained the business model which was to get other people from your knowing to buy products from this company and get commissions on the sale.

Continued……

Pyramid scheme scam

Bruh... what even?! It's a well known scam. I don't understand how you were ready to put in 5L of your money without going for a simple google search.  
  
 All these IIT/NIT/IIM/AIIMS means they cracked a certain exam. It has nothing to do with guaranteed moral values or even basic common sense. Lesson learnt the hard way I guess.
