Why are GIANT Edtech companies FAILING in India? : Edtech Crash Case study

Think School is a Digital School that we all deserved, but never had

VIDEO INTRODUCTION:
In the past few months, you must have seen a ton of people being laid off from the edtech industry of India!! what was once a booming industry with every other start-up being valued at a billion dollars, now it looks like the Doomsday for the edtech industry of India !! On one side, while mega-brands like Unacademy laid off 600 employees and BYJU's laid of 800 employees on the other side, companies like Lido and Udayy have shut down in spite of raising millions of dollars in Funding!!
So the question is,
How did it suddenly happen that the edtech industry of India went being a goldmine to the graveyard for start-ups?
What kind of start-ups will survive this Edtech crash?
and most importantly, as students of business, what are the most important lessons that we need to learn from the upcoming edtech crash of India?

The 3rd category, that is who got customer organically you are of course in the list and one day, we'll see you in the list of players who remained in the indian market with Physics Wallah, Prashant Dhawan and Apna college. Just great content 😊😊

[ThinkSchool]

Meanwhile what's the most terrible experience you have had with a Giant Tech company? FYI Noone will sue you for comments don't worry ;)

[manasramidi]

People like Alakh and Aman spent years gaining the trust of students and creating a charisma that is helping their ventures grow. Think School resonates similarly :)

[drama.sreerama]

Love your content! I’ve always wanted a channel like this in India. Super Proud!

All the Best to you 💥

[seekwisdom]

Think school and Prashant Dhawan Sir are the benchmarks for the content...!!!
So, when you made case study on geopolitics, it made us happy...

[its_maalik]

As an employee who got laid off from one of these 'Well Funded`, `Hyper Growth` Ed-tech companies. I must say your analysis is absolutely spot on. The in-organic customer acquisition along with low profit margins is what is digging the grave of these companies along with the fact that social media ads have gotten much more expensive during/post pandemic due to a high surge in demand (since more and more people are going online). Also such companies have no 'business moat' because they dont bring anything special to the table (compared to personalities like prashant dhawan and aman dhattarwal) so someone can easily undercut them if they have deeper pockets.

Most times it amazes me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over 63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.

Prashat Dhawan sir❤
i am not a student of any course, but hv been following PD from 5-6 years. Quality content on foreign/current affairs...he has really helped me in not watching News channels...will always be thankful to him🙏

[ujjawaltyagi]

I personally admire Aman bhaiya and Physics wallah because even in my school days back then they two were only ones who provided "Quality" study material and that too for free ....cant thank them enough till today 🙏🏻

Style is temporary - class is permanent! That’s why NIIT revolutionized the IT education and industry landscape 40 years ago. In it’s fifth decade, it’s a global learning leader. You need to have a passion for learning to make a difference!

[spartacus]

When I was subscribed thinks school its on 154K subscribers but now Exponentially 1.4M... And The quality of content also increased day by day.... Specially video editing & Stats/facts & case study

[dzxelyd]

You should add yourself too in the list of Successful Online tutors, your videos are amazing and really well researched! 🔥🔥
Prashant Dhawan Sir is just awesome 🔥

[durgamish]

I am not preparing for any jobs or exams, but following PD sir since long i don't know. Happy to see your videos, full of contents and fabulous presentation. Thank you

This is why I left Byjus, we were just selling for sales numbers, I had realised back then that the course was not upto the par. After the sales is done all the promises that were made would be forgotten and not even parents or the students could relate to the course.

[tailyang_kanku]

Happy to see Prashant Dhawan sir getting appreciation in the comment section, I too am follower of him since he was in study iq now as *World Affairs* everybody's favorite channel for geopolitics ❤

[sachinbharti]

When you said "Our Legendary Physics Wallah" got goosebumps and felt satisfied... Quality content bro..just awesome..PW rocks🔥🔥

[nirmalya_nanda]

I think the success of PW was because of two reasons-
1)The price disruption (first course was launched at 999rs, and now courses are at 3-5k per year) before that no one had that price point
2) very strong person brand because of emotional connect with students as he taught free on yt for 3 years before that when no one was teaching.

[dhirendrarath]

Physics Wallah is not just a company it's an hope for lakhs of students who couldn't afford lakhs of ruppees for coaching

[ayushjaiswal.]

Wow Prashant Dhawan getting recognition 😩😩 ... He is such a god level teacher

[brucebane]

As a UPSC aspirant am a big fan of Prashant Dhawan sir
