"Indian influencers — has a brand ever ghosted you after you posted their content? How did you handle it?"

I've been talking to a lot of Indian creators and the payment problem keeps coming up brand deals done on WhatsApp, no contracts, content delivered, then silence.

I'm building a product to solve this (escrow + digital contracts + a public blacklist of brands that don't pay) and before I write a single line of code I want to understand the actual scale of the problem.

If you're a creator or have worked with brands, I'd love to know has this happened to you? How much did you lose? What did you do about it?

Comments are welcomed but if you want to go deeper I also made a short anonymous form: https://forms.gle/SsRWACNQq3mMdNXV6

Happy to share all results back with this community once I have enough responses.
