Engineer claims startup unpaid ₹90,000 salary

A self-described founding engineer on Reddit claimed he built a startup's entire product as the only developer but has not been fully paid for five months.

The engineer said he is owed approximately ₹90,000 in salary, with four months of full-time pay and three months of internship pay pending.

He alleged the startup has 20+ paying clients at ₹10,000+ per month each, contradicting claims of no revenue.

The engineer said he received excuses like 'rent is due' or 'business needs the money' when asking for payment.

He expressed concern about lacking paperwork to prove his agreed salary for future job searches.
