He is a shit of a person to apply such tactics - good resources can never be judged by above points. If the founder is such a person, the culture is top-down - do imagine how it'd be to work for such a company

Product Manager

Analyst

They won’t pay you 10x for starters ever.

Product Head

Got a call from the HR of Pristyn Care today on a Saturday. Was telling me that during month end and important deliverables, I may have to stretch and work long hours. While I am ok to do that (been doing it for years now) - but having HR telling you that during the first call was a red flag. Thinking of dropping out of the process instead of wasting time.

If this isn’t sarcasm, this fellow needs help. Pity his family for having to put up with sc*m like him.

System Engineer

Just gonna leave it here. Never gonna join Pristyn Care even if they offer 10X.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

What's happening at Pristyn Care? Hearing a lot about gaps in their business models and how they are pushing people to opt for surgeries!

Pristyn Care-too many troubles?

Is this guy for real?

Founder

Product Designer

This influencer with a massive following on YouTube laid me & my team off within a week of hiring since apparently they have deferred their Series A. Bro, why didn't you figure it out before I joined. They bumped off Sourcing, D2C sales head, Finance, Offline Sales head, etc as well. Apparently - they still have the HR head drawing the salary of probably more than 50L pa since they need to build 'culture' for a team size of less than 25 ppl now.

Business model: D2C business launching products in partnership with Influencer to leverage their following

Founders couldn't Figure Out fund raise

Bro there's Sham in the name.  What else did you expect.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

My friend is looking for PM role and currently has 2 offers.
He currently works at an early stage startup as PM. 3 year work experience

First offer is from Jar. Role is PM of retention. Location Bangalore. 

Second from Indialends. Role is PM of Engagement. Location - Gurgaon 

Indialends is offering 4 lacs more than Jar.

Any thoughts?

Jar or Indialends?

It's 12:26AM and I'm still on call
The management here is useless and expect employees to work late nights and doing absolutely nothing to stop this toxicity.
Too much micromanagement, where they ask us to fill exact hours we would take to finish a user story.
Makes us fill useless excel sheets and pulls us in totally irrelevant meetings where you're not even required!
Anyone having offer from fractal please i beg you dont join this shithole! It's a startup disguised as a unicorn with no ethics at all.

DevOps Engineer

Glorified slave hiring

Hi Folks, Can you please let me know which startsups or organisation we should not join 

Reason may be:

No Mission and Vision
Pathetic HR Policies
Burning investors money with 0 Revenue product
Random Hiring and Layoffs
Other reason you can mention
Dirty Politics
Dirty Appraisals and Promotions
If i missed anything mention in comments 

So that our geeks will not join pathetic place and save atleast current job

Do not join list

UX/UI Designer

Context: Took my parent for a Piles checkup as the issue was flaring up. The first thing they checked was my insurance coverage details. The consulting doctor (more of a quack) recommended immediate surgery as 'it may lead to much greater complication if left untreated'. Inwas ready to go for it but my spouse recommended we see more doctors. Both the other doctors (very reputed) said this doesnt need a surgery and that my parent would need some rest and palliative care and that it would be ok in a few weeks. This is what exactly happened.
Funny part - this was two years ago, but since my number was the registered number, I still get periodic calls asking me if I had decided to go ahead with the surgery and that Piles can only be managed with a surgery.
The founder in any case, from his prolific Linkedin usage, seems like a righteous jerk who would rather believe that employees should not be expect compensation but be as loyal as dogs.

Is Pristyn Care an unethical sham?

Business Development Manager

A few months ago I had posted here how Pristyn care was completely a sham and exploited fears.

The reality as reported -
https://www-livemint-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.livemint.com/companies/news/inside-the-chaos-at-pristyn-care/amp-11693337299658.html

An honest recommendation - stay away from these guys. They basically exist to make money out of the insurers.

Pristyn Care - the wolf in sheep's clothing

Some founders are so toxic that their business outcomes can be very well predicted. As expected, Pristyn is showing its real colors. 

If you don’t know, the guy in-between is famous worldwide(saw it floating on Blind, Reddit) for his hiring tips ;)

Looks like “Harsh Hiring tips” aren’t working

50% layoff at a Bangalore  based health tech startup. Founder had no shame or guilt. Has raised funding recently but chose to fire people again. This is the third layoff in the last 1.5 years. Terrible management, declined variable pay. Severance is to paid in the next 4 months. Just trying to pivot the company into ‘AI’ without any plan whatsoever.

Massive Layoffs at HealthTech Startup

HealthifyMe is the Startup. They are having other PR articles to cover this shit now

This is cringe tbh at this point. “Competitive Salary of INR 20,000/month”. Just hire EA’s instead.

Can Founders just stop

Senior Consultant

Whats with Fi money laying of 10% of their workforce for a 2 yr extended runway

Clueless founders, panicking investors, dead market and garbage product. All combine to create these situations.

How is FanCraze doing?

I work as a Product manager at a series A well funded startup.
This company is run by a solo founder/CEO.

This is a wannabe tech and product startup that does not care about their product at all. The internal review meetings get 5 minutes on product and 55 minutes on business and operations on a good day!

All they care about is how to run operations and tech just works on automation instead of building the product for the end user. Every OKR cycle runs for two months where OKRs are set for product but we end up building internal tools because things get "re-prioritised" and operations "can not miss targets".

The worst part is that the strategy changes every 2 months and every week, the CEO keeps adding new "wants". Almost like a baby seeing shiny new toys.
At this stage, the product has become a mess with no identity at all!

This baby always says "But is that even do-able" acts critical and tries to seem smart in front of their employees while lying to the investors and board every other week that we are a tech and product company.

I don't know if this happens at other startups in India. 

Would love to hear what y'all have experienced.

Identifying a Baby founder

You sound like a tech bro, who thinks that only tech runs the world. Huge companies like Tata, reliance etc are built on solid operations and business insights.  
  
 Tech is enabler, if the founder is smart with business and operations, most likely he will make a good business, and unless you start valuing things beyond tech also, you will keep hopping jobs and cribbing why people don’t value you.

Senior Product Manager

After Narayan Murthy, bhavish Agarwal, sajjan Jindal , Mohandas pai...next joker to fling his hat is Mr. Entrepreneur no. 1 

He is saying that if we work 💯 h then we can become a developed nation soon.

I think they should read Union budget, how government spends and it's mostly on subsidy, freebies and repayment of interest.

Basically, if we slog also then 30-40% of amount will go out as tax and that tax will be spent on useless stuff.

PS - 💯 h working janta will not get any concession in education, health, tourism etc.

Peace out ✌️

Now you can type ur rant after 5pm.

NRN was right, Youth should work 70h/week - Sasta Naval of India (Kunal from cred)

Former Mooofarm Employees allege that the company's founders ignored widespread sales misreporting and misled investors with projections
