Before you sign with HustleHub,
read this.
Same story every time: deposits withheld, deductions invented at exit, and months lost chasing money that was truly yours.
Three reasons not to sign with HustleHub
Not hypotheticals — this is what founders who already signed are dealing with, documented below.
Crores in deposits, withheld
Across the founders who've come forward, the deposits HustleHub is sitting on add up to crores of rupees. Treat whatever you hand over as gone the moment you sign.
Legal and criminal cases, pending
Founders have had to escalate to consumer complaint forums and legal action just to try to recover deposits HustleHub was contractually obligated to return.
Filthy facilities, goon staff
Broken furniture, water damage, unhygienic washrooms, no drinking water, no working internet — and staff who turn aggressive the moment you push back. Mismanagement, top to bottom.
The reviews don't lie
This one's worth reading closely: he never even signed the lease. A deposit paid up front, a documented month-by-month timeline of stalling, and HustleHub's own CEO copied on every follow-up — still no response.
Filed in 2022, still drawing comments in 2026 — a reader asking if it was ever resolved, because they're facing the exact same thing right now. This isn't an old problem HustleHub has since fixed.
Civil suits and petitions on record
HustleHub is the trading name of Clomoso Technologies Pvt Ltd. The cases below are compiled from judgments and orders published on public court-record databases (IndianKanoon, CaseMine, eCourtsIndia). Each entry summarizes the pleadings and record as published, with a link to the original document. Where a matter is a suit, petition, or pending complaint rather than a final judgment, the claims described are allegations made by a party, not a finding of the court.

View case record on eCourtsIndia →Maintenance failures don't just cost comfort
Filmed on site during rain: water entering the workspace, right past the desks and equipment founders were paying to keep safe. A separate review, four years earlier, describes the same problem — plus cheap furniture that breaks, unstable internet that drops client calls, and a management team that calls it all "petty issues."
Open gutter and standing waste right at the back gate and parking entrance — the path every founder and their team takes into what's billed as a "Tech Park."
It's not just the deposit
Power backup, internet uptime, parking, washroom hygiene — ask about all of it, and ask current tenants directly, not just the sales team showing you the tour.
Don't fight. Build.
Chasing a withheld deposit can eat months a founder doesn't have. The smartest move isn't a drawn-out dispute — it's not signing in the first place, and telling the next founder before they do.
If HustleHub has done this to you, a two-minute public review costs you far less than a legal fight — and it's the fastest way to warn the next founder walking in. Then get back to building.
