Ravisutanjani Kumar aka Indian Mike Ross
Fintech influencer seems to have faked his entire educational background. Instead of IIIT he studied at ITI. Anyone have more tea on him? https://twitter.com/SatarkAadmi/status/1701565930650706306?s=19
Good stuffs. I went through the tweet. What a shame that all those fakeness got destroyed in a thread.
Yeah, he is blocking everyone who is interacting with this thread. After all he has to hide it from his 100K+ followers

I kinda like his growth trajectory ngl.
Imagine being able to make it as a VP in a Mumbai form within 10 years of starting out from Mirzapur with an ITI degree.
Reminds me a lot of ex-Byjus Sales Bigshots who came up and made lakhs scamming/selling courses to people with nothing but pure grit
What I have learnt though is that titles mean jack shit at startups. Have seen some startups offer VP titles for folks with 1-5 years of work experience too. Some VC firms also give some analysts with 2 years of work experience the title of ‘Partner’!

Apparantly he is being followed by some big name so he keep tweeting similar stuffs to be in good terms.
Yeah, but what I had noticed is that since he's being followed by the PM, he has to pander to their ideology and stuff. He came into my Tl very recently when he was trying to communalise the K'taka Vehicle Govt scheme. Just some days back went through his tl and got an idea about his profile.

Do startups not do background checks before hiring?
Because writing on Linkdin is one thing but getting jobs based on fake degrees is another game.
Someone with so many followers will make any company (even bigger ones like IBM and Infosys, not just a startup) believe that this guy is legit.
Not true, bigger companies follow the process. These startups (especially EdTechs) want to leverage the reach and make things work for them.

Really don't understand how people fell for this guy. Someone like me with not much knowledge of finance, could see he was just BSing a lot. How did so many get influenced to actually pay for his courses?

Lmao. Oh Jeez. Actually, I've already blocked this guy because he seemed quite sus at first when I looked him on LinkedIn. I saw his credentials and was blown away. So I blocked him long time ago.💀
Calling him Mike Ross is like giving him too much importance. Mike Ross was at least a genius. This guy is text book fraud.
Blocked everyone from MDI or IIIT who questioned him on his degrees from all platforms.

This tatti sutan Jani blocked me
When I asked him on his Google inc
Also his bf Sejal sud also should get checked both are fraud both block3d me
The guy was absolutely fishy and was already a butt of jokes in the Startup Circles. Apparently saw someone write that he is having suicidal thoughts, should have thought this before doing frauds and charging 25k/session for some fuddu Gyan on startups.
Yo, that’s a bit much. Whatever he did, didn’t commit any crime. Saying idc if he is having suicidal thoughts is inhumane. Should get a chance at redemption
This is absolute fraud buddy. You are charging 25k basis a lot of things which he absolutely ain't. People who would have paid 25 k to him can absolutely file an FIR and take him to court for fraud.

He's just a normal influencer who publicises new policies and fintech products in the news. Got some reach and it escalates well. I don't think he needs those credentials to continue doing what he did.

Apparently, he gave clarification, that doesn’t clear much.
Obviously he’s taking a break now.

Proper scammer! Viral tweets are nothing but copy paste job. Tilted towards the right and reeks fake startup vibe with fintech tweets.
2021 boom made a lot these scammers. Hopefully, all web3 bros, crypto bros, content creators giving advice to brands when they haven’t seen light of day and 0 substance should get exposed.
I have been following his growth for a while now, though he faked his degree but I guess he got the followers because of his content, but yeah I am not able to digest people can do this level of fraud with their degrees.

From the day twitter started showing this guy on my feed I could see he was a grifter. I said a lot of bullshit to him and he soon blocked me. Feeling good.
