Saaspay or Scampay?

Has anyone here had a run-in with the guy behind Saaspay? Met him recently through a friend — absolutely wild stuff. The things he says in public are next-level delusional, and now he’s apparently building something in quick commerce and somehow getting funded again?

When I met him, he said he personally knows the Blinkit and Zepto founders, and now his team is going around saying that both companies are investors in his new venture. No proof, of course — just bold claims with nothing to show for it.

He also says he owns houses in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Pune, drives a Porsche, and was about to get married internationally. Claims to have sold his first startup to Blinkit, his second one (Sawo) to some US company, and now Saaspay to another US buyer — like it’s a pattern.

He constantly brags about being well-connected to politicians, top founders, and media people — but again, zero evidence to back any of it.

Did some deep digging and found out he’s never paid his employees on time, hasn’t deposited PF, fakes company financials and acquisitions, and even scams investors.

And now he’s building his new startup with his ex-teammates. Honestly, it’s starting to feel like they’re running a whole racket together.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Not sure why people don't ask for evidence from bluff masters but want to find the evidence themselves.

My 3 cents on the Zepto story as a founder

Tldr; Fully support it.

I have 3 points

  1. I am a founder here. And one of the major yardsticks you make decisions as a founder is based on how successful startups similar to you did.
