Ankur Warikoo, a well-known entrepreneur and content creator in India, has taken the surprising step of shutting down his online courses business, WebVeda, which had achieved remarkable success since its inception in 2020. The platform, which served 500,000 students and generated ₹100 crore (approximately $12 million USD) in sales, along with ₹25 crore (around $3 million USD) in profits, was deemed no longer viable by Warikoo. In a video posted on May 15, 2026, he stated, 'It makes no sense to continue,' despite the business's profitability. This announcement has led to a flurry of reactions on social media, ranging from admiration to skepticism. Some users speculated that the rise of artificial intelligence in education played a significant role in his decision, a notion Warikoo confirmed with a simple 'huge' in response to inquiries. He plans to reveal more about his future plans in a live session scheduled for May 16, 2026, inviting followers to join him for updates. Warikoo, known for his relatable content on personal finance and entrepreneurship, has built a substantial following across multiple platforms, challenging traditional narratives of success.
