Big: Unacademy merging with Orchid Schools in a 50-50 merger

Damn, this is like the entire offline education fraternity playing uno reverse post Byju<>Aakash fuckery

Karma is real🫣

E tuition is becoming a brick and mortar tuition center. So much for that so called innovative startups. But am happy its going down the drain.

As Ravi Shastri would say, "In the end, c̶r̶i̶c̶k̶e̶t̶ PeakXV is the winner"

Rarely come across a scenario where the VC has lost for poor decision making.

What’s orchid schools? Never heard .. I thought unacademy is a big org? Was it just a house of cards?

This is crazy
Out of nowhere, after some recent rumours here of acquisition

I wonder what the valuation is. But Unacademy = K12 Education after all these years

Showoff like new category creators with VC money and then this....

K12 Techno is backed by PE players. Expect more layoffs if this merger goes through.
