Today, *The Head and Tale* brings you a gripping, behind-the-curtain story of India’s 100th unicorn—Open. Once the poster child of India’s neobank dream, Open was hailed by ministers, blessed by investors, and crowned with a billion-dollar tag. But what happened after the media frenzy faded? Behind the scenes: top bank partnerships collapsed, a high-stakes lending venture went off the rails, employees were quietly shown the door, and insiders speak of a culture steeped in cliques and confusion. For the first time, over a dozen former employees and industry voices reveal how a celebrated fintech spiraled from unicorn glory to internal disarray. The promises were bold. The reality? Far more chaotic. Only @theheadandtale https://theheadandtale.com/deep-tales/open-but-not-transparent-inside-the-cracks-at-india-s-100th-unicorn/
