Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Most edtechs have been infamous for mis-selling, poor teaching , etc but are there any good startups who are doing great work?

Any good Edtechs worth joining?

I got an offer from an Ed-Tech startup for a BDA role. It's a pure sales and target-based role. I have had experience in the core field for 1.5 years, but since the last 3 years I have not done any job. Currently, I am searching for jobs in the data analytics field. Should I join the Ed-Tech company or should I search for a job in the data analytics field?

Graphy has forced a 30% salary cut on each employee to achieve profitability this year. This cut will be applicable from February onwards until 7-8 months. 

Truly a sad time for the Edtech ecosystem.

30% Salary Cuts at Unacademy

I repeat: 
  
 If you have options, avoid joining EdTech companies. 
  
 If you're already working for one, exit at first opportunity. 
  
 Indian EdTech companies are largely sweat shops in fancy office buildings.

I recently received an offer from Unacademy and I'm curious about whether it's a good company to join. Are the pay rates competitive and how is the work culture?

You know the stereotypical Edtech startup - sales-driven, promises good placements, no quality control, overpriced AF.

Is there any company who's actually focusing on building something valuable in this space?

Are there any 'ethical' Edtech startups in India?

Planning to move out of Ed-tech sales to some other sales companies can anyone help me with this?

How is Head Digital works Banglore as a workplace?

I was previously working in a startup in a software/IT role. Now, after 3 months of searching for a job, I got an interview from an ed-learning startup in Bengaluru for a business development role. 

Please give me your takes on this. What would be the pros and cons of taking up this job?

How are ed-learning startups for work?

How is Philips as organisation?

Was interviewing at one of the acquisitions of a major edtech player for a design role in Bangalore roughly 2 years ago.

🚩 Didn't share agreement on email unless I came to office for a day's worth of work (after completing interview assignment).

🚩 Exit clause in agreement mentioned company can terminate contract any time with a few days notice, no provision for me ending contract (never in my life did I see such a one-sided contract).

🚩 Was asked to reuse free resources available online to repurpose content for them (why fucking raise funds if that's all you want to do).

🚩 Overheard - "Who cares about quality, just bring in teachers who are influencers that can bring more students behind them". Boiled my blood.

🚩 Was tweeting all of this in a discussion about edtech on some thread without naming the company. Got asked to chat with founder's office guy while I was leaving at the end of day. They either stalked my socials or somehow came across my tweets and wanted me to bring my concerns to seniors instead of sharing them publicly. Excuses that were given - "We are a growing company, not everyone here is on our payroll, there's a mismatch in our teams internally, will take time to fix" etc etc.

"You seem very passionate about education, you know how bad it is in India and we're trying our best to make a dent". Balls making a dent. I was even more furious by the time he was done talking.

Politely asked me to delete the tweets (which I later did because I believe in second chances and not burning bridges).

Did not sign agreement or return to work. Came to know later of more toxic stories coming out of edtech companies.

Avoid edtech in India like the plague if you're still considering applying anywhere, this shit is not worth any amount of money. They are literally destroying our future and care more about their investors and VCs rather than their students or even the larger startup ecosystem.

I hope these shitshows shut down soon.
