The submission represents a legitimate but small B2B IT services agency based in Mumbai, distinct from the funded 'Unbox Robotics'. However, the PoU submission is critically flawed by hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., claiming the audience is 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product' for a niche DevOps consultancy). While the business exists and has verifiable clients like UpGrad, the extreme lack of effort in the submission and the deceptive reach claims result in a heavily penalized score closer to the 'No verifiable traction/Red flags' baseline.
