How many second chances does one founder get? Why do the good ones have to suffer because of a few bas ones? From Housing.com to Broker Network (4B Networks Pvt Ltd) to now Kult โ€” thatโ€™s three companies, hundreds of crores raised, and yet the story seems to follow the same arc: hype, headlines, chaos, and collapse. Housing.com raised over $100M, only to see Rahul ousted by the board for behavior that โ€œwasnโ€™t in the companyโ€™s best interest.โ€ 4B Network raised โ‚น288 Cr from Info Edge India Ltd. It shut down quietly. Now, Rahul Yadavโ€™s firm โ€” reportedly received โ‚น15 Cr through interest-free loans, with no transparency, no explanation. And while all this plays out, I see brilliant, grounded foundersโ€”building in silence, solving real problemsโ€”struggling to get even one meeting, let alone a term sheet. How are we still letting repeat offenders cruise through the ecosystem? Is it charisma? Connections? Collective amnesia? And thatโ€™s not the startup India we all signed up to build.
