What are some good alternatives to Byju’s for online classes?

Opinion: Byju’s and its acquired baby, WhiteHat Jr, are a classic example of overleveraged startups that went too aggressive on funding and marketing without a strong enough core of knowledge. News and social media are rife with articles of how their employees are harassed, their users are spammed and shoddy trainings are pushed to parents. These companies are trying to bank on the fear-of-missing-out of parents who want the best for their children. An excellent opportunity to provide a platform for trainers turned into a money making machine that swaps parental anxiety with tepid trainings for a structured payment over the academic lifespan of children.

This is not healthy. We need alternatives. Good alternatives to the Byju’s of the world. Platforms that benefit both the trainers and the students.

Funding is important for the growth of new ideas. Yet, we at Instrukti - India’s fastest growing online platform for coaches and learners - believe that value created for our customers is more important than meeting revenue goals set by foreign investors.

Instrukti is the alternative to Byju’s and other training platforms that have gone too greedy.
