What happened to Raj Shamani’s House of X?- Grapevine

What happened to House of X?

So on reddit there is a community called desi fragrance addicts. People post their queries regarding fragrances and buy based on other people's personal experiences. Due to that, there is a lot of trust over there. But House Of X has been exploiting that trust. They make an account and keep posting in every comment how their perfume brand blanko is good. Normally a person after seeing an advert,knows that they are exaggerating but if the review comes from a trusted one, they tend to believe it. This is what they have been exploiting.

Adding a link below to the reddit post exposing the whole charade

Any insights on what Raj Shamani is building with "house of x" startup?

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.

Raj Shamani Paid - 35 Lakhs for Cannes Film Festival. So, did 
Finance with Sharan and many more so called celebrities.

What is even happening?

Scam

Not going to lie but Ashneer was right, Mankur Marikoo ka naam saath mei mat lena, tu mujhe gaali se se but naam saath mei mat lena( because he’s the biggest scam artist after Dakshat Shrivastava)

 Just like Vauld, Marikoo turns out to be the biggest sell out of all time yet again. With Fraud Shamani and Chetan Bro-goat following him, they promoted a scam Startup Conference in Noida stating you can raise funding there, that too within 3 days.

Turns out you have to pay 💰 a boatload of cash to get into the conference. Now it turns out to be a scam when the organisers fled away with the money.

It’s a pity that people follow these charlatans who masquerade as superior beings while their true character is revealed in moments like this..

Rumours around they are shutting down and how Karan Bajaj is the supreme con artist of this generation

What is happening in White Hat Junior? Where is Wolf Gupta doing now?

So I've been fed his podcasts a lot lately by the  YouTube algo. And while it's amazing one of India's best startup entrepreneurs is getting really good guests to come on his show, I just can't stand him. 

He interjects before the guests have a chance to finish their thought and at times it feels like the podcast is a platform to air his views rather than the guests. Especially his insistence on traumatic childhoods as a prerequisite for greatness and why  capitalism is best.

PS: Please don't come at me like his fans in the comments, legit want to know if this is just me or something others feel too.

Is Nikhil Kamath the most irritating podcast host?

Ex SVP at X openly calling his time at X 💩

Corporate Strategist

Help me figure this out because up till now it seems like all my decisions were wrong.

New job, new city, fresher.
Found a single occupancy in a pre occupied 2BHK in my budget, and as per my preferences. Had to shift in the middle of the month. Since the room I am supposed to get is occupied by someone else(X), the landlord suggested that I adjust in the hall area for the half month and then I would shift to the room from October. 
I was okay with this, and under the impression that X is also okay with this arrangement. Mind that X is not present in the flat, X has been away since a month. The other two flatmates (Y, Z) in the other room are also okay with this. 
I have given deposit of 20k to the landlord. 
Now X comes back today, starts a fight with me straightaway, starts throwing my things. X says that the hall is common space and since X is paying rent I cannot be there, X only wants their friend to take that room, and a million other things. X is the most problematic person I've ever come across. Bhagwaan jane kaun isse shadi karega. Y, Z back me up. We speak to the landlord and he scolds X. 
Now although X has verbally agreed to moving out at the end of the month, what if X refuses to move out? Mera toh agreement bhi nahi bana hai.. 
I should prolly start looking for flats 😵

Flatmate Drama

Update : X has just returned from having a fantastic weekend, while I'm resting in the hall with a badly twisted foot (fml). X is talking to their partner loudly, desperately clearly trying to irritate me 🤡🤬 Abse is ghar ka naam bigg boss hai aur I will give updates regularly. bc ab toh single bhi feel ho raha hai aur gussa bhi aa rha hai
