FWIW. Since you've mentioned Byju's... my Indian friend here informed me that they have a nexus with the Google Playstore team too and bypassing all Playstore policies. For instance, they release a free app without any in-app purchase; but after some time, they'll lock the app and will call the parents to pay 50k rupees.
- robk 6y agoAs in googlers are complicit??
- kkarakk 6y agoyup, BYJU is getting CRAZY amounts of support in India and no major newspaper questions their claims. there are a lot of conspiracy theories about why it is so - some people say it is coz they have political support
- fakedang 6y agoIsn't Shah Rukh Khan an investor too in Byju's? Edit: just a brand ambassador. He's still complicit in misleading millions of Indian kids. Edit2: the techcrunch article shows a picture of Karan Bajaj (WhiteHatJr founder) with Baba Ramdev, so it's very possible that they have political backing. I'll take the Chinese Baijiu over Byju's any day.
- eunos 6y agoPretty sure that Shah Rukh Khan doesn't really understand it beyond "it's an emerging edtech"
- fakedang 6y agoYeah, and that kind of brand unawareness from ambassadors should not be tolerated.
- aravindputrevu 6y agoI don't think they have political connections but a lot of head weight for sure.
