Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Came across tweet guy asking for frontend job to Dukaan’s CTO who fired his support and tech team just last month, and here is this guy and many others asking him for Job.

No idea about the full extent of layoffs, seems like either a PR play to tackle leaked layoff news or doing the whole airbnb style 'helping employees land their next gigs'

Dukaan layoff confirmed by founder on twitter

Computer operator

The company had more than 6 layoffs in the past  10 months. Right from office boys to the company COO was affected by the layoff. The recent layoff happened 10 days back, where the company didn't pay their employees a single dime and instead gave them their value less esops to keep their mouth shut. The company is being run by 2 arrogant adamant co-founders along with their 10 other close ally so called the CORE team. The employees were on 30% salary cut since 10 months in the name of deffered and were promised that everyone would get it back with 8% interest on the cut. In every layoff employees were asked to leave within a day or two without even paying them for their notice period. Nobody was vocal about it as the founders had threatened some ex employees that they would make their life miserable and they will find it difficult to get jobs anywhere in future.

The dirty game of Dukaan's layoffs

Operations Manager

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Painful to see so many startups run out of money/ shut down. Is your company doing good?

Their VC funding is drying up, and finding investors for next rounds is proving difficult because of the macroeconomic conditions (apart from glaringly obvious reasons like their hype has died down since it's not 2020 anymore).

Twitter has launched Ads Revenue Sharing where users with enough engagement get paid by Twitter. This is Dukaan leadership's last resort to sort of "bootstrap" themselves.

The income from Twitter is probably what helped Dukaan become profitable a few days ago.

What do you folks think?

Why Dukaan founders engage in Twitter fights

Friend works there. He kind of confirmed. Company is still struggling to find profitability. Not much margin in fmcg and food segment, which is their biggest pie of orders.

Udaan almost fired 60% staff

Hasn't done anything worth mentioning than some stupid stunts in tech and business.

Dukaan founders are the worst of the lot

Product Owner

Why do people like Dukaan's founders receive funding so easily? Don't we have brilliant minds or promising startups in India, or is it the fault of short-sighted VCs who have money but lack vision?
