Upscalio Reviews

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take your feedback seriously and will work very hard to improve further on the mentioned aspects but we are a little surprised to hear about your experience because: Upscalio leadership has worked very hard to create democratic environment and a strong system where all colleagues are encouraged to share and debate their views/ideas and then collectively inform decision-making. Moreover, Upscalio leaders have always been open to hear constructive feedback via frequent 1-1s, open forums, and work alongside colleagues to improve things. Equality and Parity w.r.t employee compensation and appraisals is taken very seriously at Upscalio. At the time of extending offers, we consider incoming candidates' hike expectations, demonstrated impact in past roles, industry benchmarks, and internal band structures. We believe in rewarding colleagues whole-heartedly not just for output but also for input. Upscalio also gives paramount importance to our employees' physical and mental well-being. Our people come first for us. There are various things in place for promoting work-life balance and healthy work environment at Upscalio. Firstly, Upscalio has a very strong "no-questions-asked leave policy" in place with employees having the option to avail 20+ planned leaves, 10+ sick leaves, 5 floater holidays, paternity/maternity, personal event leaves. The intent is to promote well-being and for colleagues to take leaves as and when required, and hence leaves are non-cashable in nature. Secondly, Upscalio employees are strongly encouraged to take time-off (comp offs) post mega sales/hectic periods, e.g., all brand, category and marketing teams were asked to take leave on Friday after Diwali sales 2021. Thirdly, there are weekly snack treats, monthly company-wide celebrations/parties, and company-wide townhalls to celebrate people & their contributions. Lastly, it's important for employees to acknowledge that Upscalio is 15 month old startup which is trying to build India's next consumer giant and getting there FAST requires everyone to have an ownership mindset, wear the hustle hat and keep going. Additionally, we are actively working on streamlining processes via automation initiatives (e.g., Analytics), organization team structures, etc.

The allegations in the review are factually incorrect. Unfortunately, we had to dismiss the employee for severe incompetence, and ethics violations which have meaningfully harmed our company. To extract additional monies, the employee filed a case in the Labour Court. To say that the Labor court has ordered payment of his claims is false; rather, the Labour Court has rejected the first petition of the employee. We regret it has had to come to this, but because of the severity of damage to the company by the Employee, it has had no option but file litigation before the Supreme Court to seek relief. We are confident that the courts will be supportive of us in the matter.
