Annu Sharma, a Delhi-based software engineer at Google, recently caused a stir online after sharing a surprising rejection from a startup. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Sharma posted a screenshot of the rejection letter, which stated she was turned down for being "too good" for the position. In disbelief, she commented, "Didn't know you could be rejected for being too good."

In a recent podcast, Ashneer Grover, founder of BharatPe and Third Unicorn, expressed strong criticism of traditional hiring processes and lengthy notice periods. Grover advocates for a 'hire fast, fire fast' philosophy, suggesting that companies should streamline their hiring and evaluation processes to increase efficiency.
