I have shut down my 100 crores course business.
And converted it into a subscription!

Between making more money and helping more people - the choice was super clear to me!

WebVeda now gives access to ALL courses, for the price of one course.

As a WebVeda member you will get:
- ALL courses, present and future (we add a course every day, every week, every month)
- An exclusive members-only community
- Personalized jobs based on your skills

100% refund policy, as always.

Skills. Community. Jobs.
Growth as a subscription.

All 5 lakh existing WebVeda students have been upgraded to the membership for FREE.

I want every person in this country with a phone and an internet connection to have the same learning, networking and job opportunities in life as someone born into privilege.
Where they were born, how much they earn, what language they speak - none of such things should ever matter.

@skjtwts Why should I?

[Ankur Warikoo @warikoo]

In 2006, I watched Rang De Basanti.
Felt my life was looking worthless.
I had lived a selfish life so far.
Nothing for the nation.
Nothing for the larger good.

A few years later, I watched The Social Network.
The film made me feel miserable about my life.
I had lived a failed life so far.
Nothing to show.
Nothing achieved.

Two very different films.
Two very different measures of what a life should amount to.

One film left me feeling that I wasn't doing enough with my life.
Another could leave me feeling exactly the same way, for a completely different reason.

And that's the thing about movies.
We are rarely watching their story.
More often than not, we are watching our story, through theirs.

Some people leave the cinema discussing the acting.
Some people leave the cinema with a performance review.

@skjtwts That’s how I have written for the last 20 years :)

Can’t help it

[Ankur Warikoo @warikoo]

Thursday: Between 9pm-1030pm.
Friday: Before 10am.
Saturday: Between 12pm-2pm.
Sunday: unavailable.

Long before smart scheduling, this is what my usual response would be to anyone seeking my time, in 2006/2007.
It was my first job in consulting.
Days were busy.

And I was thrilled.

I grew up believing that a choked calendar meant a successful life.
Moving from one context to another was the mark of a man that will eventually make it, if not already.

I lived with that belief for nearly 15 years.
Until one day, when I didn't believe in it anymore.

So recently when someone asked me what big belief of mine have I changed about myself or the world - I knew the answer.

"For the longest time I felt being busy was the only mark of success. Today, I know that isn't true."

And this isn't because I have purposefully designed a life that is not busy anymore.
It is because my definition of success has changed.

And that's the big lesson.
What we think is success can change. Will change. Should change.
Giving yourself this freedom is what the world calls experience.

@aravind To be fair to your prediction, republicans admitting to their defeat gracefully wasn’t part of anyone’s plan.

The dems supporting a ban on AI/SI was certainly. And that came in slightly later than imagined.

[Ankur Warikoo @warikoo]

Everyone is jealous of your destination.
No one is jealous of your journey.

The journey is only yours to enjoy.
Yours to suffer.
Yours to experience.

[Sanjeev Sanyal @sanjeevsanyal]

The economics segment of the recently introduced NCERT textbooks for Social Science (Grade 9, Part 2) now has a chapter on personal finance. Students are taught basics about fixed deposits, mutual funds, EMI, taxes, risk-return and so on. The idea is to provide them with useful life skills. 1/2
