What happened
Prasuta Ventures advertises remote finance consultant and venture research internships with stipends up to ₹15,000 based on 'business generated.' Students compare the model to Finnexus-style programs: heavy LinkedIn recruitment, performance pay tied to selling financial products or bringing clients, and tasks involving demat accounts, mutual funds, and education programs rather than traditional consulting work. Stipends are described as variable and difficult to earn without sales.
Why it seemed suspicious
Stipend contingent on revenue generation, finance internship used for distribution/sales, similarity to other reported schemes, and vague distinction between internship and commission-based selling.
