Can a course make you a founder?
I came across this course. What do you think of this one? https://joinfounderx.com/ will you pay 1.5L for this?

Nobody improved their IQ by eating 'Bheja Fry'.
Similarly, a course cannot make anyone founder.
It can make them more aware of the business/startup world and fancy terminologies like 'Cohort', but definitely won't make them a founder.

Haha the analogy 🤣
People generally give 10+ L for MBA courses. Then there are high chances people will pay to these as well

Sadly that's true.
While an MBA from a renowned college is totally worth it. These courses sadly, don't really add much weightage.
A real founder will invest Rs. 1.5 lakh in their product's beta version and not some course, just because it ends with 'X'.
New ways to make money and dupe people. These courses are of no help, if there is no “goda” from the person’s side to be a founder. The grit and determination is what make founders learn and move ahead. Rather use that money to put in your startup.
There are lot of videos from founders on YT regarding how to scale companies and how they started. Better to consume those content.
India’s EDtech is messed up because of these things.

Starting and running a business is like cycling. Unless one gets on one and starts pedaling one cannot learn.
No amount of technical education can help you. Learning how to apply brakes does not equal knowing when and how to apply them.
But we are a tution country, thanks to inordinate rulea and regulations on getting an admission and 1000s of people desperately looking for a break.
The corporate culture is not helpfull either. So you will find a lot of influencer/ tution masters t aching how to start a business, how become the next Ambani.
