WhiteHat Jr. certainly used dubious marketing tactics to try to gain a foothold in the market. If someone points it out as wrongful, they then shouldn’t be punished for it. These private educational firms are like blood suckers sucking money out of concerned parents. They should be made to return money to the parents if their kid doesn’t improve performance.
Why do not these so called critics find faults in kids acting short movies , reality shows , sexual abuse in schools. Does whitehat jr provide any useless content ? No right , it’s about education , I want my kids to be knowledgeable at a young age instead of playing pubg games . Indians are enough to downgrade Indians . Why cannot this guy give free education to less fortunate student stand up against child abuse cases ? Whitehat creates job for women teachers too Useless people
Instead of lashing out at this without any context learn to read a bit from multiple sources. It’s as clear as day that white hat jr. Is taking parents’ emotions for a ride.
Are you a parent of a school-age child? How old is your child? And how can you claim to speak for all parents that their emotions have been taken for a ride? Are all parents foolish and gullible that they need to be advised by those who are yet to even have a kid? Social media is full of collegians and single early career professionals joining in this chorus against Whitehat and recommending youtube and other resources that are more suited to older learners. Clearly, this face-off between Poonia and Malpani is professional rivalry and not social service for parents and kids. By whipping up a frenzy on social media they are playing on the emotions of those who are not even the target audience of whitehat.

Before saying crap about something, read about the topic from various sources. Black hat Jr. Has been playing with parents’emotions in this pandemic. You don’t have to go further than Google to learn the shit they’ve done.
More power to people like Poonia and Dr Malpani who come out of their normal life and raise voice against these cronies.
Where Sal Khan, the pioneer of k-12 edtech is building for a better world, these cronies are building their homes fooling innocent parents
Keep up the great work malpani and pradeep. You are doing a service to this country by saying what is true and what is not. We are with you in this fight.
More power to Mr.Poonia and Mr Malpani, companies like Byjus and white hat junior that feed on the insecurities of parents and add no real value should go defunct asap!
While everyone is focussing on the agressive marketing and hype etc, no one is asking the most important question – why does a 6 yr old need to learn coding, and how will he or she grasp the correct concepts which are all related to higher maths? And this hotchpotch memorisation will ultimately be detrimental when they will have to forget all the nonsense they’ll learn at this age, and relearn everything from scratch when it’ll actually be necessary.
And yeah, I am talking with 23 yrs of experience in the SW industry and research.
1. Justice delayed is justice denied
2. Deprivation of Liberty even for a single day is one day too many.
I see both of these maxims clearly getting violated by the Indian Justice System when the hard-earned money of thousands of Indians are at stake.
Furthermore, I guess it is not “news worthy” to enlighten people how the corporate gets away with fake and misleading ads but is news worthy when a celebrity’s dog/ward goes for a poop session?
All in all, I would have expected the media to lead the march against such hazards of the digital age but then again, media to too busy in putting up a pompous show.
Who care if it’s whitehat snr or junior or wolf gupta. Better keep away from such online educators this will ensure that ur kid is not adicted to mobiles, laptops and multimedia devices. Block all the sites
