Every #MLM needs an innovative Product.
So here comes an "An Idea + flamboyant Founders who can Pitch + a legal entity" packaged as a Product wherein an existing investor is expected to recruit new investors at higher valuation.

The Investors are more to be blamed for this #MLM
New Age Investors are happy when their money is burnt with no resulting revenue growth because if there is enough revenue; to fund the expense means no need of follow-round
Loss is needed to validate next #Valuation

Following the arrest of Aryan Khan, the 23-year-old son of SRK, the internet has been rife with attacking the actor. Apart from memes, insults, & jokes, the actor's association with the popular education tech company BYJU's has come under the limelight.

Some experts noted the issue has surely negatively impacted SRK's image, so his endorsements and upcoming movies will suffer. While none of his movies are up for immediate release, some of Khan's brands did face the wrath of netizens. #AryanKhan
Sandeep Goyal, chief mentor of the Indian Institute of Human Brands, said, "While there is a lot of mauling on social media right now, people, in general, have become much more tolerant or acceptable to such 'lifestyle transgressions' of the celebrities."

@Krittiiii #KaranBajaj, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of coding-for-kids startup #WhiteHatJr, has announced his exit from the three-year-old edtech startup.

#Byjus #edtech
@Krittiiii #KaranBajaj, former Discover Network CEO, had founded #WhiteHatJr in 2018. The company started off as a platform that solely focused on live online one-on-one coding classes for kids in preschool to middle school.
This is slowly becoming like a bubble. It will break once #Byju goes public in India. This company is trying to grow in an inorganic manner. Its revenue was ₹20.16 crores in FY19. For a company that's valued in $Billions, the revenue is just a trickle.
#Byju claims that they have added 13.5 million customers but they have not provided the split of paid accounts vs free accounts. As per Fintrackr, its total expenses had grown 2.6X from Rs 537.4 crore in FY18 to Rs 1,376.5 crore in FY19.
#Byjus advertising and promotion accounted for about 1/3rd of its expenses. They have not provided any expenses/revenue details on their paid courses. Any guesses as to where their primary revenue comes from ??
It's from the sale of Tablets and course materials.

#India’s edtech unicorn #BYJU's is reportedly set to acquire the brick and mortar preparatory services institute Aakash Educational Services for a whopping $1 billion. If the deal goes through, it will become one of the biggest #edtech deals in the world.
Aakash Educational Services runs over 200 coaching institutes across the country and has a student count of more than 2,50,000, which would give #BYJU’S a direct entry into the test preparation market.
