Investor funding drives unwarranted behaviours: Aakash CEO Deepak

BYJU’S-owned Aakash Educational Services (AESL) CEO Deepak Mehrotra said investor funding in edtech “is very clearly driving behaviours which aren’t good for anyone”. “I hope sanity prevails,” said Mehrotra, who was appointed as Aakash’s chief executive on Monday. “If a learner...is preparing to pick up premiere Indian institutions...I’m...convinced it cannot be done digitally alone,” he added.
