I sometimes wish if money, which Facebook, et.al invested in Indian edtech ecosystem, was given to Khan Academy, it would have done justice for the whole world's education system.

- passion__desire 2y agoIt's a net loss of money, without anything tangible to show for, at the end.
- blitzar 2y ago> without anything tangible to show for Facebook managed to shoehorn itself into the public and private school system of a nation with over a billion people. That is tangible (for facebook) and way cooler than a million.
- passion__desire 2y agoIf you look at the details, the branding is that of the Indian startup. Facebook actually associated itself with a badly run startup company with questionable ethics. It is a net loss of money and reputation.
