If nothing else, the level of immaturity of conduct by housing.com's ex-CEO and his followers within the company is definitely hurting the burgeoning startup scene in India real bad. To make matters worse, this comes at a time when foreign VC firms/banks were only starting to get comfortable investing sizable amounts of money in Indian startups at a pre-profitability stage. My only hope is that the people in the tech community world over do not stereotype Indian startups to this one bad apple, and up and coming Indian entrepreneurs do not assume this is acceptable and normal.
