It would be better to include these links in a comment in that thread, where they would clearly be on topic.

The problem with making a separate submission out of it is that it's repetitive; we don't need two different threads about the same issue with the same startup at the same time.

I don't think this phenomenon is specific to India, but a culture of strongly encouraging rote memorisation over actual thinking is definitely a factor. I worked in CS education many years ago (not in India) but the decline was already quite visible then, in the form of students who could recite obscure facts and copy-paste code together but were otherwise mostly computer-illiterate. These people then think they are successful and try to teach others, leading to a case of "the blind leading the blind".

This is not specific to India. Edu scams exist everywhere. However this is in India.

It's not just an Indian startup ... It's a fully owned subsidiary of a major Disney business partner. It's such a shame that Mickey mouse is now being used to scam gullible and desperate parents in the third world. Such a shame!

Lol. Wat.
