Sequoia India founder and managing director Shailendra J Singh is in the middle of a controversy. An audio clip is going viral on social media allegedly that Sequoia India founder is threatening female founders. Now Social media are dominated by tweets related to #SequoiaLeakedTapes over a viral tape.
The audio is now going viral and has left everyone on social media freaking out, though Groundreport.in have not been able to verify the authenticity of the audio.
However, many users on social media, claimed that the bots are spreading the hashtag #SequoiaLeakedTape. Some kind of campaign on twitter against Sequoia the venture cap firm?
Another user wrote "Unfortunate that I cannot trust anything about #SequoiaLeakedTapes but if it is true, I must add that a large part of digital India is destined for such a fate. The founders and tech leaders have been too immature in every sense, IMO. PS: Of course due respect to the exceptions."
