The submission is a critical conflation of two distinct entities: 'The Ozu' (a 2021 Indian logistics startup at the provided URL) and 'Ozu Corporation' (a Japanese fabric company founded in 1653). While the URL and description describe a valid early-stage logistics platform using WhatsApp, the launch date, business type, and traction claims ('most people have used my product') are erroneous or hallucinatory. The actual logistics venture is seed-funded with modest revenue (~$20K/year), far below the submission's implied scale.
