Its even hard to complete the full podcast, I completed it in 3 sittings. And the way Scaler solved this problem is very good that traditional colleges failed. And a big thanks to you Varun for bringing this industry insights from the good and succeeded entrepreneurs and business leaders.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation

[propavangameryt]

There can’t be a single video in varun’s channel without AI mentioned in it, since the AI is out.

Whole episode is an ad... Apart from 3-5 mins content which actually is of podcast quality... Let me save u some time...skip this vdo...

Educational institutions should shape the industry, and in turn, the industry should help restructure curricula. Innovation requires research, which might not always be profitable for the industry to invest in. We should not undermine other streams of engineering. Just because software coding is prevalent in this era doesn't mean we should drop the basic engineering sciences. Success and money can lead people to undermine other areas and become overconfident.
Studying in IITs is totally different experience you get to study engineering sciences, humanities, management, value education.
Making chisel in workshop gives you different aspects of engineering.

This guy i.e. Varun got so insecure and depressed by the success and fame that his wife Achina was getting cos of their channel Aevy TV that he started this own channel and got some really awesome and informative content for it.. One of the rare examples where an insecure spouse innovated and improved for better .. good going Varun M...bt i wud still suggest don't be insecure of your wife's success... Bless both of you ❤❤❤

Main Question Turkey or Somewhere Else And How much it costed

[anirudhsama]

Google is exception where the founders didn’t want to do 10-100. In Ubers case Travis was very willing but was pushed out. Let’s look at the rest

Microsoft - Bill Gates retired after growing it to the most valuable company

Apple - Jobs died

Elon, Zuck, Jensen are all founders still leading the companies.

Could you tell when will be the tutorial on comfyui released?

[oldgangster]

23:05 I don't agree to that completely, a good education system's purpose is to create that vacuum or that hunger/ curosity in ones mind to learn something, and not just do that thing to get a certification. I have taken enough online courses of these so called "future of education" companies and according to me these type of learning must not become our future.

[prathapsankar]

How come Scalar is edu tech? What technical do they do?

[albin]

Why should even people complete. There aren't that many openings now a days. We have already solved the edtech through YouTube and why we are still trying to teach coding to everyone
