ReshaMandi, a startup that raised over $40 Mn in equity funding, is facing insolvency pleas and has allegedly coerced employees to join another company, Genzr Solutions Private Limited, leaving hundreds of former employees awaiting salary dues.
ReshaMandi's downfall was attributed to rapid expansion across various verticals, revenue inflation, and financial mismanagement, including inflated revenue, fake vendors, and loan defaults.
ReshaMandi's founders and management personnel have joined Genzr, a seemingly unrelated company, raising questions about the acquisition and the funding received from an unrelated source.
The failure of ReshaMandi has raised concerns about VCs investing without adequate due diligence and the accountability of investors and founders for the company's financial situation and treatment of employees.

Just read this after getting to know earlier today that one of the cofounders have resigned. Didnt even know that the cofounders never had a stake, they’d just get a salary. Super weird.
