Finally, <keyword id="1960231" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Housing-com">Housing.com</keyword> has confirmed that it has sacked <keyword id="536283" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Yadav">Rahul Yadav</keyword> and will be announcing their CEO shortly. We saw it coming...we weren’t sure how long would the company take to make a decision as tougher as this one, but Rahul Yadav didn’t leave them with any option. He kept making mistakes, staged dramatic actions to hog the limelight, entered into a verbal duel with fellow industry people/corporates and worst of all, messed up with Indian media. No wonder, many refer to him as the <keyword id="6729" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rakhi-Sawant">Rakhi Sawant</keyword> of the corporate world. But today, when the man has been sacked from an organisation, which he had co-founded and raised its valuation to $250 million (Rs 1500 crore) in the last three years, we all have learnt a BIG lesson. And that is, even a CEO can lose his job if he doesn’t stick to the level of decorum expected of him. 
Do you know what mistakes lead to the dramatist Yadav’s downfall? Here we are listing out 4 of them. 
 
· Boomerang character: Every person has the right to change their decisions, but when they make it a habit, it highlights their indecisiveness, which clearly is not a trait of good leader. And when a leader makes a complete roundabout decision in his own professional life, it is a big no no. Rahul Yadav made a similar mistake, not once but twice. He first resigned, made his decision public and then after a few interesting twists and turns, planned to stay on. Then last week, we again heard rumours about his resignation. A boomerang is a fun tool to play with, but something that should be enjoyed outside professional life. 
 
· Badass language: Imitating heroes is nothing new to Indians. And we feel Rahul himself is a BIG fan of Bollywood. How else could someone explain badass language and actions of this educated chap, who is (err was) incidentally a CEO too. The man, however, forgot to draw the line between fiction and reality. Bollywood, heroes with badass character and language might be a hit with Indian audiences, but who wants to see such people in real life. We don’t want to, do you? 
 
· Too outspoken: Agreed, leaders are supposed to be vocal in real life, and not everyone can lead the way <keyword id="6359397" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Manmohan-Singh">Manmohan Singh</keyword> did. Keeping pun aside, let’s talk about Yadav. We know talking is what leaders like him do the most besides strategizing, ideating and running business. However, they just can’t talk anything and everything in public. So man, if you have had a tiff with stakeholders for some reason, resolve it in the board room instead of spitting venom all over. That would be a mature way of dealing with problems; you’ve heard of it right? 
 
· ‘F**k it all’ attitude: Being firm is one thing, and being arrogant, another. And Rahul Yadav made a spectacle of his ‘arrogance’ and ‘F**k it All’ attitude time and time again. His nasty emails, open challenge to <keyword id="6354720" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola">Ola</keyword> and <keyword id="830092" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Zomato">Zomato</keyword> CEOs, and the recent email where he unashamedly admit to have given different answers to journalists simply to have fun, were already signaling his downfall. It eventually happened yesterday when Housing.com stakeholders asked him to ‘F**k Off’ by releasing him from his services.

4 Mistakes That Cost Rahul Yadav His Job

It’s relieving that it’s finally over! We’re talking about <keyword id="1960231" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Housing-com">Housing.com</keyword> <keyword id="5645" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="CEO">CEO</keyword> <keyword id="536283" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Yadav">Rahul Yadav</keyword> who has been hogging the media headlines for his <keyword id="6729" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rakhi-Sawant">Rakhi Sawant</keyword> like instances since past few weeks. Yadav’s session of ‘Ask Me Anything’ on social media site Reddit, which happened yesterday, wasn’t as notorious as people might have presumed. 
 
So, what really happened during the session? How did Rahul manage to respond to all the questions that were thrown at him? 
 Rahul’s session wasn’t as happening as had been his recent online and offline conversations. There were no controversial statements, can you believe it? As per The Economic Times, around a dozen Housing.com employees were seated around Yadav, helping him draft answers to the influx of queries. "The investors had just one guideline - avoid controversial answers," said one source. Rishabh Gupta, Housing's <keyword id="2860348" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="data-collection-head">data collection head</keyword>, <keyword id="2761392" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pratik-Seal">Pratik Seal</keyword>, <keyword id="113363" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chief-Marketing-Officer">chief marketing officer</keyword>, and the entire corporate communications team was helping Yadav, a source informed the financial daily. 
 In his entire session, Rahul Yadav had touched upon several topics. While on one hand, he talked about Indian startups and expressed his admiration for Flipkart, he wasn’t as generous to the global startups like Uber and <keyword id="6354616" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Twitter">Twitter</keyword>, which he described as "slick products solving big problems." 
 
We checked out his entire Reddit dialogue and picked up few that make an interesting read. Check’em out! 
 
redweddingsareawesom: Why do you claim to have beaten Common Floor and Magicbricks based on site visits and app downloads? Aren't they bullshit metrics? <keyword id="51958" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="YES">Yes</keyword> I believe these are really bullshit metrics. But the market (brokers, builders, investors, media) somehow cares about all these things. And perception matters. So unfortunately, we have to play by THIS (India) market's rules. 
 
takatakha: Why did you decide to drop out of IITB in your final year? 
I think I mentally dropped out of IIT in 2nd year. Physically in my 4th year. And on papers, I think I’m still an IITB student. :) 
 
amitseoji: Can you create even 1% of housing.com without <keyword id="6357455" type="EVENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Funding">funding</keyword> from VC? 
I can create 100% of housing but then it will be a different type of housing. You can always create business without money, sometimes it can be slow, sometimes it can be really hard but its never impossible. 
 
Bamboo 12345: What are the 3 most important things that contribute towards a startups' success in the Indian startup ecosystem? 
I think currently it is: 
1. Validated and copied idea from another market 
2. Capital 
3. Marketing 
What I think it should actually be: 
1. Solving Indian people's problem 
2. Great product and innovation. 
3. Great teams and culture.
