In a recent LinkedIn post, Mukul Rustagi, CEO and co-founder of Classplus, outlined six 'unacceptable' habits he believes early-stage startups should avoid.
First on his list is the absence of founders engaging in sales activities, followed by managers isolating themselves in cabins rather than working alongside their teams.
Rustagi also criticizes the presence of a strategy vertical, opting for luxury accommodations on business trips, hiring solely based on pedigree (such as from IIT/IIM), and recruiting talented individuals without clear roles defined.
This post garnered significant attention, with many users chiming in with additional insights and experiences, emphasizing the importance of fostering the right culture from the outset.
