Was telling someone about this yesterday and person refused to believe : IIT Kanpur has a family tree system. 6 to 7 first year students from a wing are assigned a senior (student guide) from 2nd year who you call 'Bapu'. Other kids of your 'Bapu' become your 'Bhai'. If your 'Bapu' has a girlfriend - she's your Amma and your Bapu's Bapu is your Dada. All students/alums treat this relation quite seriously and the family tree is not forgotten long after you leave college too. In fact this family tree sits on official IITK website : https://t.co/QDxALV0JVZ

Funny that the tax he pays seems higher than the profit of a few unicorns.

I don't mind paying taxes but it bothers me that I don't get value for money on this expenditure !

@Poan__Sapdi This is exactly how I imagined nerds would have their cheap thrills

@Sanket_goyallll Hall 2 in any case is 'legendary'

[Anushank Jain @madmax_anushank]

@magaxiom yeah maybe 1 out of 6 or 7 second year students become bapu

@thinking_loud Top europe university : Ecole : https://t.co/0GQ0Gr2meB

So yeah as politely as I can say : Still a stupid take

[Anushank Jain @madmax_anushank]

@0din_______ Nope. Girl student guides are called Amma. And their boyfriends are Bapy for girl students.

@amlankar95 Ohh it was you ! Discovered this link last week. Thanks for this dude.

[Amlan Kar @amlankar95]

@madmax_anushank Ooof, brings back memories, thanks for sharing this :)

I wrote the family tree viewer ~11 years ago, summer of '15. Amazing to see it's still being maintained!

[Anushank Jain @madmax_anushank]

@wannabebobagorl Not really, All girl students are assigned 2nd year senior girl who you have to call Amma. If your Amma has a boyfriend he is your Bapu.

@icon Icon

[Kennan Jenner @icon]

3 months ago, I sold my 1st company, Skio, for $105M cash.

Now my 2nd company, Icon, just raised $30M to launch something the world has never seen.

For $1000, we make 6 human creator ads (no AI, 100% real).
We find creators, ship products, write scripts, & edit videos.

It's risk-free:
- Full refund if you don't love your ads.
- You don't pay until you review 6 scripts.
- Unlimited human revisions.

Today, Icon introduces the world's first Agency.

We're not building a normal agency:
- We bought a $12M domain.
- We're backed by Founders Fund and OpenAI + Google DeepMind leaders.

It’s impossible to hire a creative team like ours for even $30K/mo:
- Creative Directors who've worked with $100M brands (IM8, Obvi, Ridge). They update our format library daily based on winning ads (street interviews, skits, & 20+ more).
- 12+ scriptwriters with $80M in Meta adspend.
- 200+ in-house editors who've edited 100K ads.

One more thing...

We're giving away our internal Google Drive with 1000 winning ads that have driven $100M+ in revenue.

You can make $100K copying these ads if you know what you're doing.

Want the Google Drive?

1. Retweet this post.
2. Comment "icon".
3. DM me this post’s link & I'll DM you back with the Google Drive.

[Bonus] Get 3 free human creator ads if you do the above and we end up working together.

@gautamps25 Ahh interesting. Wanting to go one step further - ordering a printer 😅

Took some time to realise it's not satire
