Tech CEO Launches Online Search To Replace Underperforming Team Lead Earning Rs 72 Lakh Salary
Last Updated:
While the post went viral with netizens sharing their work experience and engaging in a conversation, some were also unhappy for publicly calling out the underperforming employee.
An Indian-origin CEO of a New York-based startup Fortunate, has invited applications for a job position with a salary worth Rs 72 lakh. He expressed disappointment over paying a high salary to an employee who is not performing as per the expectations, and called for a 'serious discussion" if anyone wants to fill up the vacancy.
Taking to X, Aditya Siripragada said he was open for discussions if someone else was interested in the role, also asking people to reach if they know they can 'do better".
'Paying 55L for a team lead on a critical project — performance is subpar and I need to replace fast. If you've led teams before and know you can do better, I'm open to a serious conversation. Please don't reach out if you haven't done this kind of role before — not the time to experiment," he wrote on X.
His post quickly went viral with several netizens sharing their work experience in the comment section.
'Is this 55L base? Even if it is, isn't it too low for TL(I am assuming TL will have approx 8-10 YOE)," one social media user asked. Aditya too responded to the post with clarification, 'It's base ~ i think his overall offer is 72 lpa."
Some social media users also seemed unhappy for posting about someone's performance publicly.
'Making a hiring post is fine, but why would you post about someone else's bad performance on X. Totally unnecessary and could have done without," wrote a netizen.

'Why don't you work on helping him upskill or manage down better?," another asked.
'Person who interviewed him was unable to map the right competencies. Person need to be fired not the candidate. Candidate need to be handholded and groomed," commented a netizen.

After lab grown chicken, FDA approves lab-grown salmon for public consumption
A new era in sustainable seafood has officially begun. The FDA has granted approval for the first-ever lab-grown fish to be served to the public, marking a major milestone for food innovation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The honor goes to Wildtype, a San Francisco-based startup whose cultivated salmon is now available on the menu at a celebrated Portland restaurant. With this breakthrough, lab-grown meat has officially moved beyond poultry and into the waters. Wildtype's big win In a public announcement, Wildtype shared that the FDA had completed a 'thorough pre-market safety consultation' and concluded there were 'no questions at this time' regarding the company's product. The agency's assessment deemed Wildtype's cultured salmon as safe as any conventionally harvested fish. Though this isn't the FDA's first approval of lab-grown meat—that title goes to cultivated chicken in 2022—it is the first for a fish product. What makes Wildtype's salmon stand out is not just how it's made, but how it's meant to be eaten. Unlike traditional seafood that must be cooked, these sushi-grade 'saku' cuts are designed to be served raw, offering a cleaner, sustainable alternative for sashimi lovers. How it's made To craft the salmon, Wildtype scientists begin by collecting living cells from Pacific salmon. These cells are then cultivated in a lab under precisely controlled conditions—mimicking the natural environment of the fish, including temperature, nutrients, and pH levels. Over time, the cells grow into edible tissue. To complete the process, plant-based ingredients are blended in to perfect the taste, color, and texture of traditional salmon. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The result is a sushi-ready product that doesn't require fishing or farming, reducing strain on marine ecosystems. On the menu (for now) in Portland Hungry for a bite? You'll need to head to Kann, a James Beard Award–winning Haitian restaurant in Portland, Oregon, where Wildtype's salmon made its debut in late May. Chef Gregory Gourdet serves the cultivated fish with spiced tomato, pickled strawberries, strawberry juice, and a crispy rice cracker topped with epis , a zesty Haitian pesto. The salmon will be added to Kann's full menu starting in July. Wildtype also revealed that four other restaurants are lined up to serve the fish later this year—though likely not in any of the eight U.S. states that have banned lab-grown meat. Despite ongoing political opposition, the science is clear: lab-grown seafood is here, and it's safe. The question now is whether diners—and the industry—are ready to dive in.

Man pledges fake gold, dupes SBI of 7 Lakh
Meerut: An FIR was registered on Sunday after the State Bank of India (SBI) branch in Sarurpur village, Meerut, suffered a loss of over Rs 7 lakh when a man secured loans using fake gold jewellery. According to the bank, the accused, Mohd Nazim — a resident of Meerut — took a loan of Rs 5.7 lakh in 2015 by mortgaging jewellery that was later found to be mostly silver. In 2018, he secured another loan, bringing the total disbursed amount to nearly Rs 11 lakh. However, a recent assessment found the pledged ornaments to be worth only Rs 3.7 lakh, causing a loss of Rs 7.2 lakh to the bank. Bank manager Aditya (who goes by his first name only) said the jewellery had been certified by a well-known jeweller from Meerut's Sarafa Bazaar, and the bank had relied on that purity certificate, which turned out to be fake. SP (Rural) Rakesh Kumar Mishra said, "An FIR has been registered against both the borrower and the jeweller under IPC section 420 (cheating), 406(cfriminal breach of trust ) at Sarurpur police station. We are investigating and expect a breakthrough soon."

Government disputes Vijay Mallya claims on loan repayment and outstanding dues
NEW DELHI: Govt and banks have called out Vijay Mallya 's claims of being harassed by lenders despite having cleared their outstanding debts, arguing that the bankrupt businessman still owes a large amount of money to creditors. When the case was filed in the debt recovery tribunal in June 2013, the consolidated non-performing (NPA) outstanding of Kingfisher Airlines was pegged at Rs 6,848 crore, which included non-cumulative redeemable preference shares. Including the accrued interest and other charges of Rs 10,933 crore, according to the DRT decree, the total liability due to the creditors added up to Rs 17,781 crore as of April 10. Against this, banks have recovered Rs 10,815 crore, leaving them with a gap of Rs 6,997 crore, which is yet to be recovered, govt sources said. Mallya claimed that he paid Rs 14,000 crore to banks against loans of Rs 6,200 crore. Any loan comes with interest until the amount is fully paid. In the case of loan defaulters, such as Mallya, there is also a penal interest. The flamboyant businessman, known to live life king-size, seems to have based his claims on clearing the principal, and not the outstanding. The fugitive, who is seeking to block his return to India to face legal action, made similar claims in the past. With Mallya fleeing the country, banks stepped up efforts to recover their dues and were permitted by PMLA courts to sell the property that was attached by enforcement agencies on execution of a bond with the condition that in case of acquittal of the borrowers, the lenders would return the assets. Banks have sold a majority of the properties, including the famous Kingfisher Villa in Goa, and recovered Rs 10,815 crore. Sources said that the recovery process is in line with the board-approved policies of banks. "The norms are uniform irrespective of who the borrower is or from which part of the country or community he or she comes from. So, any allegation or claim made by Vijay Mallya regarding recoveries under any undue influence or under media pressure or due to an inherent bias against him is misconstrued and completely baseless," said a source. The loans to Kingfisher, which were restructured by some of the lenders, are also under the scanner with senior executives such as former IDBI Bank chief Yogesh Agarwal also arrested by CBI for alleged irregularities.
