Creating a fictional character is not a bad thing but what they did is the claim that it is a real story with a success story that he got a job offer from Google and package in crores(INR) all being a kid. Ran this ad nationwide on all media and mislead many parents who already have FOMO.

When asked about this kid wolf Gupta they sent a full legal team to threaten anyone who raises questions mass reporting bad reviews as a task from their employees.

And when it got out of hand they acknowledged that it was all a lie and continued misleadig parents like nothing bad in it.

If I pulled that kind of shit in my job, I'd be fired or in jail. Surely this is fraud?

Reminds me of the fictional highschool prodigy musician "Ling Ling" that the "Ling Ling 40hrs" subreddit created

Was anyone ever threatened with legal action for saying Ling Ling was a fictional character?
