list the company only if you reliably know.

Name some startups which are really good- solving tough problems for India, good workplace policy and perks, founders aren’t d, and have good policies to support employees building our startups (sabbatical policies, financial support etc)

Hope this takes off, Edtech needs a positive sign, and it should not be ignored.

I got reached out for a role and during the first meet, I got asked my expected salary. I'm a grad and I said 12-14 lpa. The other person in the meeting smiled a bit and showed a bit of hesitation (I think) and said that I could always negotiate. So, high chance that he's trying to lowball me. Now, the thing is, the startup's got like 7M in seed a funding and I also saw a college post saying that the company recruited a student from said college for a 26lpa package. Also it's a really small start-up. I'm thinking of asking for 15+ now and would hence like some negotiation tips. Thanks.

I'm tired of people calling everything in edtech a scam, of course the companies don't help themselves by their bs marketing and unattainable placement claims and other bullshit But I'm genuinely curious as to what grapers/ grapies / viners find to be not a scam in edtech ?
