TL;DR: article claims Ritesh lied about his "bestseller book", lied about his "Asian Science Camp invite", lied his way into an incubator, lied his way into the "Thiel Fellowship" programme. And screwed a bunch of people on his way up. Confident, assertive and charismatic, he always manages to come on top. In other words, a successful modern start-up artist.

  Modern? Have you heard of Dhirubhai Ambani?

    Reading his wikipedia page told me nothing... why is Dhirubhai relevant to Ritesh?

Do people bluff numbers like that? seems strange that no one verified it. Especially getting a thiel fellowship.

  Oh, come on, he was just doing things that don't scale.
