Ankur Warikoo, a prominent entrepreneur and content creator, has decided to shut down his successful courses business, which had generated over ₹100 crore in revenue and ₹25 crore in profits over five years. Warikoo announced this change on social media, stating that the venture has been transformed into a subscription-based model called WebVeda. This new platform aims to provide students with access to all courses for the price of one, along with additional benefits such as personalized job recommendations and a community for members. Warikoo explained that the traditional learning system was ineffective, as many students would purchase courses but only engage with a few videos, leaving their lives unchanged. He believes that learners require diverse knowledge over time, which necessitates a more flexible approach. The subscription will be priced at ₹1,999 per year, making it accessible for many, and existing students will automatically receive free membership. Warikoo's goal is to democratize learning opportunities, ensuring that anyone with internet access can benefit, regardless of their background.
