Because you can't trust banks like Yes Bank, PMC etc , you should own immutable, counterparty-risk-free money like Bitcoin. Views?

It’s getting bad for Tech in general

Heard from most people that there’s a lot of crunch. Wondering if anyone at their companies feels like their startup is growing despite the slowdown. 

Razorpay, CRED, and are seeing tighter regulations and downrounds. The food delivery companies have all gone through their down rounds and readjustment of expectations. Even SaaS most founders have a poor revenue/employee ratio and the india story is still yet to play out for the newer bets. 

Just yesterday Oslash announced it’s shutting down its app.

Any green shoots ☘️? And if there are maybe it’s a good thread for folks to try and hire.

Any Indian startups doing well currently ?

Kunal Shah’s first startup Freecharge was a disaster for everyone except early investors and himself. Freecharge failed the test of time and miserably folded while Kunal Shah became the gyaan king of Indian startup ecosystem. What would happen if Cred also folds which is quite a possibility? I guess that will be the irreversible bubble burst for Indian startup ecosystem. Thoughts?

What will happen if Cred fails?

Any info on How are the things at YC backed startups? Carwale, Razorpay, etc. ? Are you guys taking a pay cut or is the startup planning to layoff folks? What’s the scene?

Scenes at YC backed startups after SFB crash?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am currently working at a startup for 1.5 years now and wants to switch. If swiggy has an opening , is it a good place to work at ? Also how’s the pay there ? But good work culture is more important for me.

How is work culture at swiggy ? And how is the learning opportunities for a software developer ?

"BYJU’S grew considerably since our first investment in 2018, but, over time, its reporting and governance structures did not evolve sufficiently for a company of that scale. Despite repeated efforts from our Director, executive leadership at BYJU’S regularly disregarded advice and recommendations relating to strategic, operational, legal, and corporate governance matters. The decision for our Director to step down from the BYJU’S Board was taken after it became clear that he was unable to fulfil his fiduciary duty to serve the long-term interests of the Company and its stakeholders."

This is major - Prosus just publically said that BYJU's had improper governance and failed to improve despite their recommendations

Largest shareholder saying this publicly, I wonder if there is any way of recovering from this point

I know a lot of people from startup community are coming out in support of VSS & Paytm. But they are happily ignoring the news & experts' words of caution.
Look at what ex-RBI director has to say on the issue. IT WAS A DISASTER IN MAKING SINCE OCT'23.
No one is above the law of land. Startups don't mean you can innovate at the expense of compliance.

omg what's happening guys in the startup scene where are the VCs hiding. 🤑

Start-up capital Bengaluru records 80 per cent drop in seed funding; global factors blamed.

Software Test - QA

In a landmark deal, Silicon Valley powerhouse General Catalyst has acquired Venture Highway, a seed-stage investment firm with a track record of backing winners like Meesho and Mobile Premier League.

The Deal:
- Rare instance of consolidation in the Indian VC market
- VH to be rebranded as General Catalyst India
- GC plans to invest $500 million to $1 billion in India over the next three years
- Acquisition driven by desire to build strong local team and tap into local LP network

But the move also raises important questions. Will this trigger a wave of consolidation in the Indian VC market? Will other global firms follow suit and snap up local players to gain a foothold in the country? And how will this influx of foreign capital shape the trajectory of India's startup ecosystem?

As the dust settles on this landmark deal, one thing is clear: India's startup scene is entering a new era, one where local innovation and global capital are increasingly intertwined.  Always long on India 🇮🇳

What could they do to undo this downward spiral?

How long before Byjus runs out of funds?

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.
