On July 1, Housing.com’s board sacked Yadav for his behaviour with the investors and media. “The board believes his behaviour is not befitting of a CEO and is detrimental to the company, known for its innovative approach to product development, market expansion and brand building,” the company had said.
Last week, Housing.com appointed Rishabh Gupta as the interim CEO of the realty portal. Search for an interim chief executive is underway.
In 2012, Yadav, along with his batchmates from Indian Institute of Technology, co-founded Housing.com. The company has emerged as one of the most promising start-ups in recent years, with investors betting big on it, pumping in $121 million in four funding rounds so far.
