Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

A little birdie tells me that Urfi Javed has been signed as the brand ambassador/influencer for a new product line which is going to be launched by a fairly infamous Femcare startup (the founder is known to pass sexist comments) and she'll be scooping out a whopping 35% in royalties. Because of this, the investor which was leading the round has also pulled away. Tough few days for the startup.

India's darling agritech startup Fasal is in bad shape. As new round of funding is not progressing as planned, vendor payments are delayed.

Fasal's financials in bad shape. Vendor payments delayed.

Founder

Founders and team missing, payments pending. Another one bites the dust after a seed round.

Influencer tech is gg 😂 others like it will probably follow soon as well. Some of them invested in by Tanmay Bhat.

I got some friends at Jar and got to know in their lending business their only nbfc partner has backed out and for sure they are gonna cut cost, got my other friends offer revoked in tech, product managers are leaving and now even the funding is drying up 
Their founders are begging for funding from last 1.5yrs but nothing. Got to know from my product friend at Jar how badly he/she is trying to get out but suddenly they increased the np as the culture is so shit that no one is staying willingly

Jar is fu***d up

Ullu & PocketFM is the start. The next wave of capital generating degeneracy (thurst games) is about to be born in India imo.
Sorry in advance for giving the secret out to "Consumer" VCs who will fund these startups 🙏🏽

Growth Manager

Rebel foods Pvt Ltd (formerly faasos), which became unicorn has done layoffs in tech and product. ( We have no idea about kitchen staff layoffs) 
The number of people let go forms a considerable % of the total strength

Beware of joining such startups! They will surely name this as "performance" based removal, but what do you have to say for firing freshers you hired not even 6 months ago?

Rebel Foods Pvt Ltd, (formerly Faasos) has done layoffs

There’s no way MamaEarth is worth 10,000 crores, I mean their products are shit, they don’t even manufacture their own products, they don’t have any patents. It’s essentially just a marketing company who have managed to sell mediocre products under the disguise of “toxin-free”.
I really wished their IPO would fail 🥲

Is Mamaearth another story of VCs making a shit ton of money at the expense of retail investors ?

The Startup that you had an offer from but did not join, and then it went big? (Let's take a word from VCs, how they like to use anti portfolio lists on their sites - cos they got an opportunity to enter but missed)
