They wanted to IPO back in 2022-23. But plans fell through.

And funding uthana isn't a sign of doing bad. It helps in better corporate governance, expanding network for vendors/clients etc, getting legitimacy from other investors.

currently SB's stake is at 98%. He wud obviously want it to be reduced and bring other good investor on board.

With the way he wants to run the show, he wud actually want to buy back the 2%.

I heard Product and Tech are treated very well there.

Risk, Business & Growth were treated as second class citizens.

I left in 2022. How has your experience at Navi been?

Do call back at your own risk, read Glassdoor carefully before any action.

It’s a horrible company - constantly harassing customers. I hope it shuts down.

Work culture at Navi

I've been hearing some pretty bad things about Navi's work culture - esp. in the analytics teams. Apart from the 12-14 hour days, apparently you're not even allowed to take leaves. If you want to go home for a few days, you're asked to a...
