Zilingo is already defunct. A once billion dollar startup that is now literally 0. One of the major startup scams. Investors just kept lapping up the GMV growth.

And now when everything is over, co-founders filing FIRs against themselves. Disappointing.

My only appeal to everyone: please call out if you're at a startup that's doing similar stuff. A lot of careers can get saved...

This sector is a scam in itself. Techifying manual work isn't the answer for productivity always.
Plain gimmick to raise funds and attract customers, selling dreams in fancy instruments and "AI analysis".

None of Zilingo's competitors are profitable, all are VC funded through.

It is doomed, waiting for the burst to happen

Are we ever going to get a proper VC funded startup solving a genuine problem?

Zomato, Swiggy, PhonePe, PayTM, Razorpay, Pine Labs, Urban Company, Acko... A few examples ^ All VC backed, and solving genuine problems no?

Zilingo is desi Theranos

Yes, it's just that they were B2B and Theranos was about health testing. Anything to do with blood will be taken more seriously.

How do expelled founders fund their lifestyle and living expenses without working

This lot has always been pigs wrestling in the mud. Best never join someone like them. Toxic founders raising in billion dollar valuations look so cool in the moment but 5 years later they're in the dumps.

Might be the first time a founder is being litigated against for fraud?

Don’t think Zilingo, GoMechanic, Mojocare founders faced any such enquiries? Or did they?

Zomato Chief of Staff controversy

It really blew up on the internet. Deepi is doing this with a good intent.

Mid founders (who think they're deepi) who're toxic AF, would send their gpay id to their CoS every month, and fire them if they don't pay monthly hafta 😂
