Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

So finally, someone spoke about this fraudulent startup AstroTalk. How they operate and how they take advantage of gullible people, is completely explained in the video. These kinds of startups need to be busted on LinkedIn and other social media platforms so that no one calls prey for such cheap tactics. This is just another BYJUs in the making. The cofounder is an IIT IIM grad. Shows how greed can even pollute the minds of even highly educated people. Really don't understand how the VCs can be so fucking dumb, funding them with 165 Crores!! Shocking but it isn't surprising since the Indian Startup ecosystem is filled with such scam artists.

Scam called AstroTalk - BYJUs 2.0

Jab tak hum jaise log IIM/IITians ki G chaat te rahenge tab tak ye hume chutiya banate rahenge. 4 din baad tum chutiye sab bhool jaoge fir kisi naye IIT/IIM led startup ko linkedin par praise karoge jab tak wo bubble itna bada na ho jaye ki use criticise kar pao…fir kisi anonymous platform par aajakr “OMG SO FUCKING DISGUSTING” bold doge kyuki linkedin par to tumhari gaand thandi ho jati hai kisi ko criticise karte hue…aur ye cycle bas chalta rahega…so moral of the story is, tum hi log chutiye ho wo nahi.

Edtech layoffs still continuing?

Teams were asked to strictly work from home for today because of plumbing work going on in the office. Roughly 300 people were laid off in a townhall hosted by the founders.

Scaler lays off 20-25% of their workforce

How will they tell people that their courses will help get a job in a product company now?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am just speechless. Can't believe that this can happen.

Got fired for using betting apps and trading on company laptop...

Everyone knows you are not supposed to use company laptop for anything personal. This startup I used to work part-time for during college had some monitoring software on their laptops.

Somehow intimate moments were leaked of someone on the team, she slammed such a case on these fuckers that the entire startup almost got wiped out in legal fees.

Showing 3 ads every 10 mins to users who have paid for subscriptions is silly and stupid. They are running out of ideas and happy to see Hotstar content moving to JioCinemas. Put an end to this nonsense

Astro Arun Pandit's ads are so irritating nowadays.

I am just done with Astro Arun Pandit's ads!!

I spend a sad amount of time mindlessly going through Instagram. Want to cut down, and replace with better apps, that actually make my time better spent. Curious which apps you all use that make you feel better after you use them?

Which app/website do you regularly go to, that makes you feel your time was well spent?

Spending a lot of time on Grapevine now (grapes got me addicted)
It is well until the addiction takes over,

Social media can never make you feel better, they are designed to lure you into unproductive expensive experiences

You don't have a life, atleast do not disturb others!

More and more people are buying Premium to stop seeing their ads. 

Ankur Warikoo is the only guy who made more money talking about his startup than the startup itself.

Adtiya Kacchve tells folks that he can upskill them, but still couldn’t upskill himself to even make decently looking ads. TikTok videos look better than his ads.

Drop your roast comments down below.

I think YouTube is paying folks like Aditya Kacchve and Ankur Warikoo to throw their ads around

I’m sure all of us are above average at at least one thing. It could range from making a mean Maggi to playing an instrument to making new friends to flirting to anything else. What’s yours? 

I like researching in depth about financial products and have a good working knowledge of common topics such as tax, mutual funds, insurance. 😊

What’s your superpower?

I allegedly have a photographic memory that amazes and creeps my peers simultaneously.  
  
 Downside? 
 Can't sleep most of time as I have HD recordings of all my regrets and rejects. Ignorance is a bliss.

Which subscriptions are worth subscribing to? Can be of any category Food, Grocery, Shopping, Music, newsletter, Books, fitness, etc.

I'll start:
* Zomato gold(I save 15k+ per year)
* Amazon Prime

Subscriptions which are worth it?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Everytime I open any SM app, I have advertisements lined up from various scammers/ex-Lavda/ex-lasun selling Product Management/Data Analyst and Full Stack Courses. 

It literally has made me delete most, if not all the social media apps. I'm just tired of these scammers. 

When I started in Product, I actually loved it. Now, it has become like Virar-Churchgate Local dabba with everyone coming and shitting up what was actual work. Even companies are hiring dogshit people who can't differentiate feature and bug from their elbow and ass. 

It is just tiring now. Everyone has now lost the plot.
