Tinder Swindler of BLR

Recently I was talking to a girl who was working a startup in BLR. She left the startup with some horrendous experiences. This startup was working from a startup hostel in BLR. Things she told me shook me. She was dating the founder.

So this founder who claims to be on his 2nd startup dates his own employees and then blackmails them. The average age of his employees is 24. All these girls that he dates are not above 23/24

Apparently this guy has 2 court cases against him. One for fraud and one for a rape case. Both of them are not easily found online. He uses VC money to keep in under the hood.

The fraud case is about his first startup which was a stolen idea apparently.

This guy’s whole life is fake. He claims to be an IIT Madras dropout, but he's from some local college.

There are rumours that one of the girls he dated tried to kill herself because he allegedly filmed them.

He also does not pay salaries for months to his employees but compensates by giving them expensive gifts.

He claims his parents are IAS officers but we checked and they are not.

His last startup was around around AUTH and current one is around Fintech

Girls and boys stay away from working with such shady startups.

Idc what you think Gabru. I have no interest in naming and shaming. Just make sure to do a proper background check on founders before you decide to work with them.

The grapevine policy itself recommends to not name people.
The point of this article is for you to remember this post if you ever plan to work with a startup and the details about the work history of the founder match with the details shared here. You can save yourself from being part of a scam.

Is the second startup named SAAXXX?! Mumbai boy? First startup disappeared out of nowhere?! Very very tall guy (6 ft+). I think I know him - raised money at the same time from same investor plus few of his angels have reached out through mutuals.

You don't name & shame someone publicly especially when you're not the victim but I guess you're a Gen Z and thats where our principles don't match 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can confirm that the guy is real because I personally know him and have heard these things from close sources but can't say if the allegations are correct.

@VacantFuel98 Even I can't confirm all the allegations. So I didn't name him. The dude seems to be conning VCs and people for years.

I don't think he's been conning though. I think he's just smart and very manipulative.
