Having board members with limited subject matter knowledge is good for management ;)

Airtel and Mensa Brands CEO have subject matter knowledge?

Product Manager

I don't see what the problem is? She has built a media business and is equally as capable as Airtel CEO or Mensa Brands CEO

So are D2C and Communication. Please explain why they are qualified while Shraddha is not.

Great founders learn this trick early : befrind the media.

This could be about controlling the public narrative at the time of the IPO.

Atleast 1 digital media portal will talk good about Ola

Having good PR goes a long way. Why do you think media and governments work hand in hand?

*IMPORTANT*

Monday morning and nobody at office. We have no option but to force strict rules now: 

1. If you arrive any later than 9:55 in office, it will be marked as half day leave. 

2. Lunch breaks are supposed to be max 40 mins long. I accept basic courtesy of following this, if not, I’ll tag people on the group. 

3. All leaves requests need to be emailed to me. Without any record on email, we might not be able give a record of how many leaves in each bracket are left for each individual. So don’t expect this data from us, if you don’t email.

Icing on the cake, CEO didn't come to the office

HindenBurg report is out

Is Shreyas Srinivasan now more focused on company politics and bickering rather than focusing on product building?

His largely talks about homepage designs only (like that's the only product management he knows), comes and gives gyaan but never had been able to deliver nos (his current KPIs are all red since 2 months), blames on other teams / external factors rather than owning things up like any half decent leader.

And most funny he and his minions (Neehar etc.) create full mess and then they start taking moral high ground / highlighting that how product is messed up once they pass responsibility to some other team.

No wonders Paytm lags so much behind PhonePe and GPay. When product leaders focus more on politics than getting work done, not sure how will key metrics grow.

Saw the latest interview of Bhavish Aggarwal with Shraddha (Yourstory). He looks very good, passion driven and a real change maker.  What do you folks think? Anyone who have worked directly or indirectly worked with him?

Wtf is happening at Byjus?

👇🏽 who are some founders/leaders that you actually like and believe will be able to make great things happen. 

They don’t need to be famous.

🪡 Founders - who get it right?

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

Software Developer

Head Of Growth

Went for pitching my startup with my cofounder and found him openly flirting and trying to be friendly.  Have you guys faced this? Isn’t this blatant abuse of power? Wondering if I should name the firm but scared.

This is an interesting trend fully driven by VCs/board

(Co)founders laid-off

Apart from a few good ones here rest are toxic-ologists 🥲. Startup ecosystem is rosy from outside only (folks who know, know :))

Private Equity

Heard from folks that Dehaat (an agritech startup) has recently done layoffs in the tech department. Does anyone here have any idea what happened and why?

Layoff at Dehaat?

This post is about the McK suicide. Still had to use this random ass picture so that engagement is tip top. #shame

Still remember her classic "Accenture is firing 15,000 employees..." caption with a side profile candid (?) pose in some European city. Vultures.

Mallika Srinivasan steps down as an independent director for Swiggy. Read this headline and curious.

What do independent directors of a company like Swiggy do ? How are they rewarded for what they do ?

Bruh! Kudos 👏

I feel Linkedin should remove posting pictures option or should allow to report the post if the photo and content has no co-relation.  
  
  
 lots of so called influencers be posting copied content or success stories with a random ass photo.

ReshaMandi, a startup that raised over $40 Mn in equity funding, is facing insolvency pleas and has allegedly coerced employees to join another company, Genzr Solutions Private Limited, leaving hundreds of former employees awaiting salary dues.

- ReshaMandi's downfall was attributed to rapid expansion across various verticals, revenue inflation, and financial mismanagement, including inflated revenue, fake vendors, and loan defaults.

- ReshaMandi's founders and management personnel have joined Genzr, a seemingly unrelated company, raising questions about the acquisition and the funding received from an unrelated source.

- The failure of ReshaMandi has raised concerns about VCs investing without adequate due diligence and the accountability of investors and founders for the company's financial situation and treatment of employees.

Corporate Governance Trouble at Reshamandi 🧵

Journalist

HR is having 15-20 meets everyday, anyone can confirm with their calendar. 

Multiple HRs multiple laid off people. Zero severance. They are pressuring people to resign and saying you have to resign today itself! 

Market is going to get flooded with Paytm folks. 

Worst regret is that management and CEO made bad decisions and flunked compliance / risk. But after crackdown by RBI they are making employees suffer. 

It is heard that this will continue to go on till months. 

There should be a course on how to behave and work like a CEO.
