Here’s how Housing.com continues to be the quintessential Indian soap opera of India Inc

It seems Housing.com knows how to be in news sans its former CEO and co-founder Rahul Yadav. The website of the online realty company was hacked and had funny message on it.

Here’s what it showed: “#rahulyadav #housingdown..Yes! We will solve real estate but 10X better with The Chief Architect…We’ve achieved a lot in the last 3 years, but the game has just begun. Yet, we are hungry for all.. #LookUp”

While the company realized that website has been hacked and got it back in order, it seems the hacker did not like it much. And so once again, the website has been hacked with the same message flashing on the screen. The website has been resumed at the time the story was published.
Interestingly, the hacking comes days after the company’s board sacked Rahul Yadav for his publicity gimmicks after a leaked mail revealed that he had been giving different information to different sections of the media.

“The board believed that his behaviour is not befitting of a CEO and is detrimental to the company,” the board said in a statement.

It added, “The Housing Board, unanimously agreed to bring Yadav's tenure to a close, with reference to his behaviour towards investors, ecosystem and the media.”

This isn’t first time Housing.com has been in news. At the time, when Yadav was the CEO, he got into a public spat with the investors of the company and called them ‘intellectually incapable of doing any business’. He then also challenged fellow CEOs of Zomato.com and Ola Cabs to distribute their stake amongst the employees.
