We at upGrad have signed a term sheet to acquire Unacademy in an all-stock deal, with Founder and CEO @gauravmunjal staying on to build Unacademy and focus on what it does best, creating online education products that learners love. We have also agreed to a break fee were we not close.
They disrupted the sector once, and now with AI they plan to do it again. We are already seeing Airlearn gain global traction.
If this closes.
upGrad’s integrated model with an expanded focus from K12 to forever learning will be on a strong trajectory.
Most relationships spiral because we mirror each other’s worst moods.
They shout, we shout back. They go silent, we shut down too.
Break the loop.
Respond not with what’s on the surface, but with the love buried underneath.
Amancio Ortega has managed to dress half the planet, and the internet barely knows what he sounds like.
Wild how this founder-content circus became part of the job. 😵😵
I must admit I was a bit taken aback first to see Virat Kohli so emotional and then to announce that he has played his last T20I. This generation should consider itself lucky to have seen him in his prime. And when it counted, he showed why he is the big match player India is blessed to have.
Some key takeaways from the verdict. 🧵
1. The 400 paar slogan could have been a self goal - both because it set expectations too high, and because it enabled the opposition to raise the "Constitution in Danger" issue. This had a major impact on Dalit voters, especially in UP.
The Opposition leapt on this issue and leveraged it all through the polls.
Unpopular opinion from someone who was not popular from my earliest memories:
When parents over-focus on “socialization” what you’re really pushing on your kid is the idea that there is something wrong if they aren’t well-liked by their peers. This makes them brittle and anti-resilient. Wanting to fit in is one of the most basic human traits but learning how to accept when you aren’t and not predicating your happiness on how others act towards you is an important part of parenting and growth. I wish my parents explicitly taught me about this and had me sit with the discomfort of being “disliked” (or let’s face it, we tend to amplify rejection so it’s probably just “not that well liked”) like I plan to with my kid. This is just practicing mindfulness in a nutshell.
