If we had continued with our startup Diffr, we would be celebrating its 4th anniversary today. Coincidentally, today is also the day I am celebrating my 2nd anniversary in my current role back at corporate. When we started Diffr, we were full of enthusiasm, energy, and willpower to change society because we saw getting stuck in the wrong career as one of the biggest problems in today's society. Back in 2020, a new edtech came every week and tried to change the world in their own way. The VC world was also bullish about edtech. A lot has changed since then, some of the biggest names have either died down or gone silent. Even those I felt were doing well in 2022 are on their way out. The problem with any noble idea in India is simple, how to make it sustainable. We thought there would be lots of anxious parents and students willing to avail our service to make the right career choice, but we found out there were very few. Same is the fact with the skilling market, English-speaking and other languages, personality development, hobby development ventures. It is very easy to build initial traction and a free community but very difficult to find long-term paying customers. Offline coaching classes thrived for a long time because they used a very good strategy of attacking the fear and FOMO of parents and they had their past results as proof. Also promising 100/100 marks in maths or 95%+ in boards is a tangible value proposition. New age edtechs have nothing for this and also the results we were promising were abstract. Your child will be happy 10 years later, he/she will be confident and versatile, these value propositions are good to read but won't give you a paying customer. So what's the future of edtechs? We still live in a world where we complain about a huge skill gap and yet non-profitable edtechs. At this juncture, I don't know, maybe some blend of AI and gamification, some sort of community first model, some mix of online or offline, edtechs are fascinating to work on but I guess only the true resilient entrepreneurs will build a stable company. #edtech #startup

On this Teachers' Day, let's talk about the mentors who are actually shaping our future: Startup Gurus. While schools churn out graduates ill-equipped for the real world, startup mentors are forging the innovators who'll solve tomorrow's crises. They're not just teaching - they're revolutionizing. Startup mentors are: - The 3 AM sounding boards, when failure feels imminent - The BS detectors, cutting through hype to find true potential - The battle-scarred veterans, turning mistakes into masterclasses - The door-kickers, smashing barriers between "impossible" and "done" To the mentors out there: Your impact isn't measured in grades, but in billion-dollar valuations and world-changing innovations. You're not just shaping careers; you're molding the architects of our future economy. And to our visionary founder, Mr. Avinash Mandelia – you're more than a mentor; you're our startup sensei. Your insights aren't pearls of wisdom; they're tactical nukes in our entrepreneurial arsenal. We're not just standing on the shoulders of giants; we're launching from a launchpad you've engineered. This Teachers' Day, let's celebrate the real MVPs – the mentors turning startup dreams into market-disrupting realities. Your lessons don't fit in textbooks; they're written in sweat, tears, and the occasional champagne spray of success. To all startup mentors: The world may not give you an apple, but you're sure as hell giving us the next Apple, Google, or SpaceX. Here's to the teachers brave enough to say, "Forget the syllabus. Let's change the world."

Had an interesting and enlightening afternoon at Blk 71 at a panel on "The State of Edtech in Asia" with my good friends Neelesh and Eric; and coincidentally Ashu from Explico whose booth was next to ours at Edutech Asia- what a triple coincidence! Some valuable nuggets of wisdom for all budding edtech founders to share from these gentlemen- all serial edtech entrepreneurs and who have raised and exited at some point.... 1. "Over-diagnosis and Under-intervention" product that gives too much assessment but does not recommend actions- reminded me of one recent edtech assessment product I met recently (no names haha)! 2. "Over investment in CAC"- cases of B2C - VIPKids, Lingoace, BYJU- where the cost of acquisition often barely match the LTV 3. "Solution looking for a problem"- poor Product-Market-Fit- often the death of any startup. Always look for "paid-pilots- when people are paying thats a real pilot!" 4. On funding -"Look for strategic investors- if you can articulate your proposition clear enough and there is a strategic fit w the investors business- u CAN get funded with an idea!" 5. Else- "Build your order book!" 6. NEVER tell investors you just started if you dont have sales- say "PRE-REVENUE!" 7."Use creativity to get alternative revenue streams" -the people who are users and your target customers may not be able to pay; so u have traction without $$$ 8. How to scale.."Adapt, adapt especially in Asia", "The $1 pricing model", "Outcome research showing min2.5X improvement eg, child's learning- go to the poorest performing school, where improvement will be the largest- use that to SELL, SELL!" "Classdojo and Kahut+ BEE-BOT(this from my analysis) " 3 great case studies on how to build successful edtech! FINALLY- "Edtech is NOT Slow, we are NOT solving a BIG enough problem or we are NOT imaginative enough with our solution!" LAST WORDS - "PASSION+NEED ++ HUNGER!!" to be a successful entrepreneur! As some of the above was shared by Eric - from his book "The Fast Founder- from startup to exit in 36 months" .
