The edtech industry is facing a challenging time, marked by waning investor interest and reduced demand for online learning in the aftermath of the pandemic. Amid this, Alakh Pandey-led edtech unicorn PhysicsWallah (PW) has bagged $210 million in a Series B funding round led by investment firm Hornbill Capital, with a sizable participation from venture capital firm Lightspeed Venture Partners.   Scaling operations:  With the latest funding round, PW’s post-money valuation has soared to $2.8 billion, making it the third-most valued edtech firm, trailing only Unacademy ($3.4 billion) and Eruditus ($3.2 billion), based on their last valuations. PW will use the funds for market consolidation, with the potential for “one large deal” in the next 12 months, according to Co-founder Prateek Maheshwari. PW, which initially focused on test-prep, has rapidly diversified its educational offerings to encompass everything, from school education to skills training. It has also acquired firms like PrepOnline and Altis Vortex to enhance its NEET, GATE, and related categories. #edtechcompany #funding #equityfunding

The mission is clear:Equip our learners with more than just marks. Give them the tools to thrive in a rapidly changing world where competency is the key differentiator.

This is very unprofessional. It does not seem like a school where kids should be sent to put their future at risk. I understand that there would be more to the other side of the story, but this isn't good whatever the case may be. This also gives us a glimpse into how the schools are becoming business-oriented and run by greedy school owners to mint money. I really feel sorry for the principals for most private schools where they now don't have much of a say in deciding what's best for the students and teachers. This is horrible and simply unacceptable behavior. Students should not be sent to schools like this to study. #school, #Edtech #educators #teachers #principals #sanjaylearner #gamificationforgood

Revolutionizing Assessments in Higher Education Institutes: From Marks to Mastery In the dynamic landscape of Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in India, assessment practices play a pivotal role in shaping the learning journey of students. Traditionally, the assessment patterns have been largely dominated by in-semester and end-of-semester exams, with limited emphasis on continuous internal evaluation. However, with the advent of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020),there's a significant paradigm shift towards a more holistic and outcome-based approach to assessment. Let's delve into how this transformation is reshaping the educational landscape. https://lnkd.in/guRXXAge
