I'll go first.
Mention the reason too if possible. Let's discover some hidden ones. Brownie points if you mention startups that only a few have heard of.
If you know a less-known Indian startup that is doing some crazy shit (not so obvious ones), do mention.
Your turn.
As an ex-Ultrahuman employee, I can confirm that you don’t want to work there.
The culture is cut throat. I was there for an year and I got a total of 3 weekends where I didn’t touch my laptop.
Credit where its due, founders and people are amazing, it’s just that the expectations are so high that you are constantly overworked.
Glad I didn’t take the offer😂
What role did you apply for
Ultrahuman has shit work culture for what I know.
You may love the product or marketing or PR, maybe not the company
But the product is also not original, how do you guys decide on your cool startup?
@ChillyIcecream Oh? They're manufacturing it right?
Razorpay
No please don’t. So many issues in the products, leadership and culture. The attrition is pretty high in many BUs.
Because of the culture. The founders after the last round have diluted most of their stake. They are absolutely uninterested in the day to day affairs. Consequently, the leadership has very low accountability. Most good people give up in a year and leave. It is very difficult to move things in Razorpay - only some chosen few remain.
As an ex Even, I can confirm you do not want that. It should not even be on the list. Me and my colleague left a few months back, you’d be surprised how bad the leadership is.
More info please
Soon. I will be doing a full post on it.

The US is the land of dreams because of primarily 2 reasons: enough talented folks willing to take big risks and enough risk-capital providers. Both these pillars for India have issues. Let me explain.
