Scam called AstroTalk - BYJUs 2.0
So finally, someone spoke about this fraudulent startup AstroTalk. How they operate and how they take advantage of gullible people, is completely explained in the video. These kinds of startups need to be busted on LinkedIn and other social media platforms so that no one calls prey for such cheap tactics. This is just another BYJUs in the making. The cofounder is an IIT IIM grad. Shows how greed can even pollute the minds of even highly educated people. Really don't understand how the VCs can be so fucking dumb, funding them with 165 Crores!! Shocking but it isn't surprising since the Indian Startup ecosystem is filled with such scam artists.

Jab tak hum jaise log IIM/IITians ki G chaat te rahenge tab tak ye hume chutiya banate rahenge. 4 din baad tum chutiye sab bhool jaoge fir kisi naye IIT/IIM led startup ko linkedin par praise karoge jab tak wo bubble itna bada na ho jaye ki use criticise kar pao…fir kisi anonymous platform par aajakr “OMG SO FUCKING DISGUSTING” bold doge kyuki linkedin par to tumhari gaand thandi ho jati hai kisi ko criticise karte hue…aur ye cycle bas chalta rahega…so moral of the story is, tum hi log chutiye ho wo nahi.

Sometimes I feel Indians deserve it. Too much cricket, chasing iPhones n status, blowing 30-40L in wedding, and making a big show off it.
People match kundlis before marriage. won't even check medical reports for ST infections, health conditions or impotency/fertility issues. Won't even verify the salary payslips. But will discuss dowry n "muhurat".
Btw I'm talking about people who are well off and not the poor people whose everyday is a survival challenge.

It is the poor people majorly who spend like that on weddings. Those who are well off, 30-40L doesn't mean much to them. They are probably making that or much more than that every year. It's the stupid poor people who throw lavish weddings by taking loans just for show off.

If 40L loan applicants are poor people, what would you call minimum wage construction workers, vegetable sellers, truck drivers etc

Since the time they’ve raised funding, they’ve been throwing money on popular YTers for affiliate marketing and PR campaigns.
Even though, I’ve a YT premium account but I witness a lot of popular Auto vloggers, lifestyle vloggers and entertainment ones promoting AstroTalk app.
Haven’t seen this YT video but I could smell the scam with AstroTalk for quite some time.
Using vulnerability of a person to promote some hocus pocus and charging obnoxious money.

He was also approached for promoting the AstroTalk app as well, but he declined. Good on him for exposing this scam. Was thinking to make a LinkedIn post on it

Don’t worry, even if astro talk fails you’ll soon find him acquiring the position of Head/VP of Products/Business/Marketing at some unicorn because that’s the kind of scammers sit at top level.
