Director Shreyansh Pandey, behind the show ‘The Pyramid Scheme,’ shared that he had been developing the concept for over ten years. During the show’s promotions, Pandey discussed the widespread impact of pyramid schemes, emphasizing that many cases go unreported due to victims feeling ashamed.
He highlighted the prevalence of such schemes, estimating that over 5,000 companies and 5 crore individuals have been affected in the last two decades. Pandey noted the reluctance of victims to report these crimes, leading to a significant number of undisclosed cases. The series, produced by The Viral Fever and available on Prime Video, delves into the complexities of pyramid schemes.
Pandey reflected on the personal nature of the issue, revealing that many people have direct or indirect experiences with pyramid schemes. Despite facing challenges in developing the story since 2011, the team eventually cracked the core narrative. ‘The Pyramid Scheme,’ co-directed by Ashish R Shukla and Shreyansh Pandey, sheds light on the lasting impact of these fraudulent schemes.
