"Sales Life in Edtech: The Real Deal 🎯" Sales in edtech starts with boundless energy and dreams of hitting targets. But soon, reality kicks in. As a Sales Executive, it's all about endless calls and follow-ups. "Sir, enroll kar lo, life-changing course hai!" 📞 - We've all been there! You quickly realize that free trial seekers rarely convert and most calls end with "Soch ke batata hoon" 🤔. Then comes the Senior Exec phase where you’re dodging objections like a pro. "Mujhe course ka fayda samajh nahi aa raha" becomes your daily battle, but persistence always pays off. 💪 Finally, as a Manager, you’re mentoring your team, reminding them daily: "Follow-up kamzor nahi hona chahiye, lead quality se zyada!" 😎 💡 Fun Fact: The same people who ignore you today will be your most loyal clients tomorrow! 💼 Real Lesson: Sales isn’t just about selling a product, it’s about building trust. Win that, and the deals will follow effortlessly. To all my fellow warriors hustling with laptops and chai ☕, sales is a never-ending game that only gets better with practice! 🎮 #SalesLife #EdTechSales #SalesJourney #KeepHustling #SalesLessons #TrustBuilding #SalesGrind

#Hi aspirants for #JEE #Main #2025 exam! As you prepare for this important milestone in your educational journey, keep these pointers in mind: 1. #Stay #Focused: Remember that maintaining concentration while studying is crucial for success. Create a study plan incorporating regular breaks, prioritizing topics based on difficulty level, and setting realistic targets. Stick to your plan throughout your preparation period. 2. #Understand #Concepts: Develop a thorough understanding of basic concepts before moving onto more complex topics. Revise key definitions, theorems, equations, and principles frequently to reinforce learning. Consult books, online resources, and expert guidance when needed. 3. #Practice Problems: Solving problems is essential for mastery of concepts. Regularly practicing sample papers, previous year’s question papers, mock exams, and revision notes will improve your speed and accuracy. Work on time management while attempting problems to get accustomed to the exam format. 4. #Seek Guidance: If you encounter difficulties understanding certain subjects or concepts, don't hesitate to consult teachers, mentors, senior students, or tutors for clarification. Engaging in discussions will also help consolidate your knowledge and generate new ideas. 5. #Study Smart: Utilize effective study techniques tailored to your preferences and abilities. Some popular methods include mnemonics, visualization, summarizing information in diagrams, creating flashcards, and teaching concepts to others. Identify what works best for you and integrate them into your routine. 6. #Practice Time Management: Managing time effectively plays a critical role in scoring well on exams. Familiarize yourself with the JEE Main exam pattern and divide your study hours accordingly. Practice solving problems under a timed environment to enhance efficiency. 7. #Take Care of Your Health: Proper nutrition, adequate sleep, physical exercise, and stress management contribute significantly to mental clarity and focus during studies. Ensure that you maintain a healthy lifestyle balance alongside rigorous academics. 8. #Network and Connect: Join online forums, communities, or social media groups where students discuss exam strategies, share resources, and offer support. Building relationships with peers and educators will enrich your learning experience and provide additional insights into exam preparations. 9.# Be Positive: Maintaining a positive attitude towards exams and self-studies goes a long way in boosting confidence levels. Celebrate small victories, remain motivated despite setbacks, and trust your capabilities to succeed. #Good luck with your preparations for JEE Main 2025 exam!

Analysis of Allen Institute’s Potential Acquisition of Unacademy The proposed $800 million acquisition of Unacademy by Allen Institute represents a significant milestone in the Indian edtech and test-prep ecosystem. Here’s a crisp analysis from a strategic and financial perspective: Strategic Synergies 1. Complementary Strengths: Allen’s expertise lies in traditional classroom-based test preparation, particularly for medical and engineering entrance exams. Unacademy, on the other hand, thrives in the online learning space with a robust platform for competitive exams like UPSC, GATE, and CAT. This acquisition could enable Allen to leapfrog into the digital domain, combining its strong offline brand equity with Unacademy's tech-enabled scalability. 2. Market Expansion: For Unacademy, this deal provides a chance to stabilize its business model and access Allen’s loyal customer base in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, which are crucial growth markets for edtech. Conversely, Allen can leverage Unacademy’s digital infrastructure to reduce its dependence on physical centers. Financial Challenges 1.Valuation Dynamics: Unacademy’s revenue grew 80% to ₹719 crore in FY22, but its losses also ballooned by 85% to ₹2,848 crore, reflecting unsustainable cash burn. The valuation of $800 million implies a significant markdown from its previous $3.4 billion valuation. 2. Cost Concerns: While Unacademy has implemented cost-cutting measures (e.g., workforce reduction and marketing cuts), its heavy reliance on educator payouts and ESOP liabilities remains a challenge. Allen must carefully integrate operations to prevent these losses from eroding its profitability. Broader Implications for Edtech 1. Consolidation in Edtech: This deal underscores the industry’s shift from growth-at-any-cost to sustainable scaling. It may set a precedent for more M&A activity as players like Byju’s(Aakash) and Vedantu reassess their operations amid funding crunches. 2. Hybrid Learning Models: A successful merger could validate hybrid models combining online and offline approaches, setting the tone for the next wave of education delivery in India. Key Considerations - Can Allen absorb Unacademy’s financial strain without diluting its core profitability? - Will the integration address the growing competition from other edtech giants like Byju’s, or create conflicts in operational strategies? This acquisition has the potential to redefine the test-prep landscape if executed strategically. But as with any merger, the devil lies in the details of integration. thoughts?

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

BYJU'S A Fallen Idol? Finally A year-long probe by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has reportedly found lapses in the corporate governance of beleaguered edtech firm Byju's, but has cleared it of financial fraud. The probe has not found any evidence of wrongdoing such as siphoning of funds or manipulation of financial accounts by the firm helmed by Byju Raveendran. I'm seeing many Ex-employees celebrating Byju's difficult times. It’s extremely disappointing! Let's not forget the good side of BYJU'S! As ex-employees and employees, we have a unique perspective on the company's impact. Remember when every company asked for 10 years of experience, even at graduation? Byju's broke that mold, hiring freshers in bulk and giving us a chance to shine. That experience added value to our resumes and helped us grow. I still remember how happy I was when I got an offer from Byju’s within a month of my graduation! Yes, there were challenges, but let's not generalize and blame the entire organization. Managers, not the management, were often the root cause of exploitative work culture and abuse. Instead of cursing Byju's, let's acknowledge the positives and learn from the negatives. Let's spread positivity and support each other! Repost on your LinkedIn walls if you Agree! Let’s send positive vibes to the company! An Ex-Employee #Byjus #Gratitude

Reason for the failure of the EdTech industry in India:Part 4 The fourth reason for the failure of the EdTech industry in India is misaligned credit attribution. In most institutions, all the credit of admission and results is given to the marketing team and their campaign. No doubt, the marketing team is doing the efforts for admission but remember the true foundation of institutions reputation is the quality of education provided by its teacher. Teachers doing countless efforts from lesson plans and delivering engaging lectures to mentoring and personal support. But when the results are announced, the narrative shifts away from the teachers and administrative or marketing team claiming credit for theli success. So transparent credit sharing is a must for teachers. Educators also need recognition and motivation to give their 100% towards the success of the institution. 👉 Follow Indu Sharma for more #edtech #realitycheck

Employees, including myself, have been subjected to withheld salaries without justification, mental harassment, for not resuming work under these unjust conditions. Recently, they've hired a new manager, @Anuradha Yadav (https://lnkd.in/d5VXn632) , who is pressuring us to work without pay. They are also forcing us to resign to an attempt to manipulate us into continuing work with promises of delayed salary releases. They have absconded us by saying they are not laible to pay us . HR @Neetu Singh (https://lnkd.in/d2jB28gb) is neither recieving our calls nor replying back She is only accusing us in false allegations such as unauthorised leave etc It's crucial to spread awareness about these fraudulent activities to protect others from falling victim to this company. 🚨 Please share this message widely and swiftly, as the founders may attempt to remove this post to conceal their actions. 📢#ScamAlert UnethicalBear undefined #EmployeeRights #SDEmpireEdTech #labourLAW Narendra Modi BYJU'S Unacademy PW (PhysicsWallah) Aakash Educational Services Limited Infinity Learn Vedantu ALLEN upGrad @sdpublication The Narayana Group EdTech Jobs NDTV Times Network India Today #prepladder #naukri.com
