X = X0 + X1 + X2 + X3 + ...Xn

X0 = Fun for All
X1 = Next Solution to the Next Question for All #Product
X2 = Brand for All #LookUp #PositiveForever

Yet, We are hungry for all!l :-)

Yadav was was no stranger to controversy as CEO of Housing.com having first hit the headlines when the news of his dramatic resignation broke on social media. "I don't think you guys are intellectually capable enough to have any sensible discussion anymore," Yadav had written to the Housing.com board in his resignation email, only to apologise to the board members and withdraw his resignation.

A few days later Housing.com issued a statement saying he was giving away all his shares to Housing.com employees. Yadav has also courted controversy by criticising other companies and CEOs in the Indian tech space, including a feud on social media with Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal.
