When contacted, Rahul declined to comment on his new venture or the context of his meeting with Ambani, who is scheduled to launch the fourth generation (4G) bundled voice and data services in December.
Rahul Yadav, Former CEO of Housing.com seems to be in the final stage of announcing about his new venture.
When asked about the reason behind investing in Rahul Yadav’s venture, Sharma said, “He (Rahul) has a great sense of product”.
The data analytics and visualization firm is likely to be used by e-commerce companies on a day-to-day basis.
For the past few months, Rahul Yadav has been social media’s dearest child for his weird antics.
As per reports coming in, his unnamed startup has already received support from Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal and Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma; they all will be making personal investments in Rahul’s new startup. And it’s not just investors, even his former staff are keen on his latest venture.
On July 1, Yadav was ousted from Housing.com, the real-estate listings company he had founded along with 11 others in August 2012. Let me show you a good game this time! 30 days to go… “Is the world ready?”
At the time when Rahul was heading Housing.com, there were over 2850 employees and now the current strength of the team stands at around 2200.
“The Housing senior management team that will be driving the company going forward is not only very much intact, but will be expanding significantly soon, as the company enters a new dynamic phase of driving efficiencies and growth”.
Rahul Yadav is also scheduled to meet India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, chairman of energy-to-retail conglomerate Reliance Industries (RIL). Getting similar and strong awesome feelings again for an upcoming meeting with Mukesh Ambani. Confession: “he’s my hero!” “There’s a lot for him to learn in terms of how to deal with the stakeholders, but he is one of the top product builders right now”.
