The submission describes 'ShopInSync', a social shopping/messaging app launched in 2015 by former Yahoo executives. External verification confirms the company (ShopInSync Online Pvt Ltd) exists but the specific consumer app described is 'deadpooled' (failed/inactive) and has been superseded by a pivot to B2B AI solutions (Insyncai). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is verifiable false; the app failed to gain mass adoption. The revenue figure likely refers to a 2015 valuation or cumulative metric, not current ARR. The submission appears to be describing a legacy/zombie product with exaggerated traction claims.
