The project claims government recognition (DPIIT) and incubation (IIT-Roorkee), which suggests potential legitimacy, but the submission data contains significant red flags. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is verifiable hyperbole for a pre-launch platform. The description contradicts the 'Podcast' business type, and the provided URL lacks a strong digital footprint. With no verifiable metrics, invalid contact details, and contradictory information, the project scores in the 'Red Flag/No Traction' tier.
