Chicago, IL, August 16, 2026 —

Vishal Garg, the former Chief Executive Officer of Better Home & Finance, has come forward alleging that he was misled by Daniel Lewis. Garg is now seeking to regain his former leadership role within the company. This move follows a widely reported incident where Garg terminated approximately 900 employees during a virtual meeting conducted over Zoom.

The specifics of how Garg claims he was misled by Daniel Lewis were not detailed in the provided information. Similarly, the exact timeline and nature of the alleged misleading actions are not yet clear.

Garg’s prior tenure as CEO was marked by the controversial mass termination event. The decision to dismiss 900 employees via a Zoom call in December 2023 drew significant public and industry scrutiny. At the time, reports indicated the terminations were attributed to performance issues and declining company roles.

The current claim by Garg suggests a dispute over his removal or the circumstances surrounding it. His stated objective is to reclaim his position as CEO. Further details regarding the legal or corporate actions Garg intends to take, or the response from Daniel Lewis and Better Home & Finance, have not been provided.

The future leadership of Better Home & Finance remains a subject of interest, particularly given Garg’s stated intention to return to his former role. Information regarding the company’s current operational status or any official statements from its board or representatives concerning these allegations was not available.
