someone from the culture circle team directly told me that the tee shirts they're selling in the mystery box are from their internal brands.

They launched brands like off supply, myugen, forfksake which are cheap copies of off-white , bluorng, and essentials.

business model -

create tees for 200-300 RS.

price them at 3000-5000 RS.

Put 3 tees in mystery box

scam valuation - 15,000 RS

real valuation - 600-900 RS

they sell at 3,999 ,4,999,

Note -

they could have tried going the normal route trying to build an apparel brand with a large marketplace but people don't trust culture circle anyways.

No one would normally pay 3-4k for an unknown tee brand.

What does cc do instead of actually working hard?scam college kids ,scam clients who're unware of reddit and sell hope (lottery system).

in the end,

It's a positive sign that they're losing share in hype market. they are pivoting towards the naive lower spending audience.

1. Founders take products from other sellers and sell them under various fake names like Heatstreet, G Town hype. (if you actually check these brands don't even exist)

2. Started marketing themselves as india's "only" price comparison and authentication platform as their primary USP to manipulate buyers. In reality, they have no background in this industry. They completely rely on sellers and third party apps like Check check. They ACTUALLY have 0 authentication skills, anyone can do what they're doing authentication wise.

coming to price comparison, they have the weirdest errors. some products have 5 sellers , some have 10. no consistency. It's literally better to use Google than using culture circle. You can never really rely on their price comparison. So no real USPs.

3. Smart buyers already know culture circle is full of shit, the only people who bought anything,are new audience who sadly fell for their marketing gimmicks. These new buyers, once they experience how shitty culture circle is ,

turn into natural haters ( including me). They keep losing customers and to gain more they keep spending more on marketing.

4. they fooled the audience by fake PR news posts ( Shark Tank,Times of India, Hindustan Times, Forbes ) - all that can be purchased at a price. In fact I can't believe how dumb the investors must be. Don't these investors do any in depth research before funding? if they talk to 20 clients, they will know the difference between any professional brand and culture circle.

5. Now people don't trust culture circle with sneakers, so they are trying apparel, bags , perfumes, watches. Soon enough they will run out of category to fail at.

6. Lastly, founders are rich spoilt kids , hardly 25-26. they use daddy's money and flex on the internet. Anyone with moral values would talk to clients and solve their genuine problems. We all put in our hard earned money but they only chase unrealistic valuation.

They claim to be on road to Billion dollar but last year Inc42 posted their revenue of 3 Cr.

basically if you're reading this, know that culture circle is built by scammers. their intentions aren't pure. they chase valuation , clout and run behind trends.

their social media represents (intentional clickbait/ragebait) their mentality.

do we need such brands to represent our country?

After being into this sub for very good amount of time I’ve noticed only 20-30% of ppl who posted got scammed rest 70% just hating on ads or promoting other marketplaces (most of them are interns or friends which is normal for a competitor to do)

There was a culture circle employee who was answering all the queries but even in those most of them were just hating and doing timepass and when asked for their order id they had nothing to say

Ik there were many fakes got sold by CC but if timepass ppl or haters keep posting their bs the ppl who actually got scammed will be stuck or will be ignored

I believe the admin should take a strict action or keep a policy that without order id , mail and proper SS of order confirmation you can’t post in SUB

I was into reselling so ik both side of the coin no marketplace is better all of them are flawed StockX , Mnst, dawntown , find your kicks

Like good print quality, doesn’t fade, and designs that actually stand out. Not into basic stuff. More like creative/experimental prints (puff, textures, etc.)

Any recommendations?

Its been more than 50 days from the order date and my order is not shipped yet

0 customer support

I m just frustrated and irritated now

I was stalking Devansh’s account how can i connect to their team or something its the other founders wedding ig, they had added alot stories from different people

I found a girl from there (1 mutual from my account and the akshay founder also follows her ) who has followed a lot of people who are followed by my mutuals like alot and the closest mutual i could find was my ex 🙂

Like my ex follows a girl who is close to her ig and that girl( ex’s friend) is in the following list of the girl that is followed by the founder 🙂🥲

Should i connect? How tf😭

Don’t you’ll think we all should come together and mass report their Instagram page so the others don’t fall into their trap. I know this won’t affect them much but it would be like a small step into brining this scammers to the ground. It would take maximum 20-30 seconds to report them

It had been taken down (https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckculturecircle/s/fOzjfvfIDT) but it’s back up.

1. Lets mass report the page

2. Lets mass report the founders

3. If anyone has been scammed recently by them with fake products, there’s ways to reverse the payments by reaching out to cyber crime cell, Call 1930 and file a complaint about their activities. Consumer court complaints can be made too. If any help is required please reach out.

Can we all just have a moment of silence for everyone that has recently ordered from culture circle.

Just saw someone spent 17k a few days ago and now the entire page has been removed. Damn 🥀
