This story is about Byju
the person who was a worker of shipping industry
as a engineer.
his one friend is there who works in the IT sector .
he asks him to teach how to prepare for CAT Exam
as he know he has a friend who is very jugadu in his nature
Who knows all the tricks and Tips for Giving CAT Exam
Because, CAD Exam is all About Speed
and You don’t have time to solve the Complete question but have to use some trick for time saving
He Knows that His Friend can Teach him Tricks for Solving Questions
So Byju’s Help his friend by Studying together and and later give exam
Finally when the Result Announces, His Friend gets really Good marks
and along with that, Byju’s Get a 100 Percentile
You can Consider him as a Topper
Later he gets an Offer from the IIM but He Rejects it
He prefer his Current Job over that
After doing Job For sometimes,
Another Friend comes to Him and say the Same Thing
that i want to Clear CAT Exam, Please Help me
He teaches him and Give exam along with that Friend
Again His Friend gets good marks and He gets 100 Percentile
This time he gets famous as he cleared the CAT exam Twice and gets 100 Percentile
So, all His Friends and Neighbor comes to Him and tell him to teach them for CAD exam
and he teach them all
and Within some time, His batch begins to expand
He had a small Classroom in the Beginning by investing small amount of money
The Growth extent was so High that he has to book a Seminar Hall for 1200 Students for his Teaching
He have to book Auditorium afterwards
Then he Realize a Problem
That the students are coming from all around the India for his Teaching
Then he starts Doing Traveling
so that he can teach in different Areas and Help all Students
As he start traveling in different States and Teaches, He start Enjoying It
and Also love this as a Career
So he Found a Company in 2008, with name Think and learn Pvt. Ltd.
His name is Byju so you should be getting a Idea Why he is Having is App name as Byju’s
Because its a Byju’s App
He starts By Teaching In Jyoti Niwas College with 30-40 Students and then expands with a Batch over 1200 Students
and now he has a Top Funded app in India
That he has the Biggest Funded Education based Startup In India
Now think of How this Company expanded
I’ll tell you about the problems the faced during this Journey
If you check their Website Today,
They are selling a lot of Courses, that are paid
Not the Free one, Actually the cant sell Any Free Course as the Have a Huge investment on them
They have Raised almost 244M Dollars funding
in 7 Different Funding Rounds
So if you have raised this much amount as Funding,
You have to give Paid Courses only and cant give the Free Ones
So their Complete Model Is Paid
Now they Offers a K-12 Series where K stands for Kinder Garden
and 12 means 12th Standard
Means, they are Providing Education for all the students From Kinder Garden to 12th Standard
They have a Video Course Module
Their is a problem with the Offline Course
online Course had an Advantage of learning at your own pace
as you have bought the Course and it upto you whether you want to watch a Single video per day
or watch 10 videos per day
or Do the Complete Course within a Week
and can revise it in the next week and so on, its totally upto you
The have the Toppers Facilities with excellent education and skills
Let me share the Story of his wife Divya Now, she came to his Center for the GRE Exam
Their wasn’t a separate module for the GRE that time
so She joined him for the CAT Exam
So they Studied Together
and later she got an admission in the stand Fort University
But she Refused it and joined with the Byju
was it because of the Love with the Maths or Something else?
We get to know about this when they got Married
It was in 2015 when their was a huge hike of Smartphones
and Smartphones were a common things,
They launched the mobile application
i was reading it somewhere, just after 1 months from the Launch of their application, they went for Tv Commercials
This is Aggressive marketing, you don’t have to wait, but act Instantly
So they started acting Instantly
and Now Byju’s Is the biggest player in Edu based Sector
You can check the No. of Download on Playstore
They say that they have around 4-5 Lakhs Subscribed Users
those who are paying anually
They have a great Return Rate, they mentioned later on
lets talk about the strategy of the Byju’s that i personally really like
They hire around 500 persons from the big and reputed Colleges
and tell them, that they will select around 250 peoples out of there
and they pay them 25,000 as a stipend
Now whether that 25,000 is for a month, two or three, i don’t know as i c didn’t get the confirm Figures
But basically it for a period of Complete internship, that you will get Dash Amount of a successful internship
What the advantage of this?
The students get the Experience, as you know that freshers don’t get much salary
so the Freshers get the Experience, salary and learn a lot from a new platform
The biggest thing here is
that they have the 50 percent chance of getting selected and of job in Byju’s
So people do it, and i also like this whole thing.
how many are watching the Byju s lecture Videos
Their research says that, that have an average retention of 40 Mins on their Videos
means an Average time spent on their App is 40 mins
parent think that their children is on the app and learning something
so their Parents but the plans and this is a Complete Story
Tuition is very expensive nowadays
and their course is Relatively cheap
and their is the flexibility of watching it anytime, Student can enjoy, play
Suppose i want to go for the cricket from 5 to 7 Pm
but i am not able to go as i have tuition in between them
But their is nothing like that in Byju’s App
as i can learn while traveling from a place to place in a bus or while going out to a Relative House
or for a trip or For a 2 month Long Vacation
Everything is in my phone and can read anytime
Their Research also says that, they have around 90 percent User retention
Means if a student buy the plan for the current year and study
and buying it again after next year
It means they have less acquisition cost
once a student Joins Byju’s and watch the Quality content, he/she stay connected
Their are more than 640M people with an age less than 30 years
are studding or Preparing for an Exam
means their are 640M People out there who are spending money on their Education
and that expense is Nearly 63 Billion
which is 3.4 percent of the GDP of India, just think about the Money spent on Education
So you are targeting this sector
as everyone is preparing for an exam
and if you capture this sector, their is Huge Potential
and their is in increment of around 25 percent students in this Sector every Year
and they are getting around 19 Percent of the Growth every Year
Means the Company is Expanding
and they are targeting the Tap market
Their plans sounds expensive but if we see it overall and compare it with the tuition, then is okay
Lets me talk about the Lynda here, because personally i really like it
if you but the Lynda Membership once, then you will stay with them for sure
You will think that, you can learn a lot of things, skills in just paying some money
When you ask me, how i got this much of Knowledge?, from where you got it?
I have been using Lynda Membership from past 4-5 years
if there wasn’t Lynda that time, i used to download from the torrent sites
or from the other sources
or from the Youtube, but the Knowledge must Flows in
and when i bought the membership of Lynda, i kept it till now also
I really like it, just download the app, offline course and watching it while traveling or in the Free time
or You can learn while waiting for someone
Its a great strategy and personally i really like these Educational Platforms
you learn a lot things from them
Overall, The Byju’s Model is Great but personally i think its a bit expensive
But as they have huge funding and has to give some return somewhere, so its okay
But
Ideally they can take a bit less
and it will increase the number of Sales
and their will be a lot of people who will join them
But They Byju is good in match and would probably have an idea
100 percentile in CAD exam is very Big thing
so he has a Better idea on this
But according to my point of View, they will target the different market if they lower the Course price
and
In India, education cost shouldn’t be this much High
I think if you are able to do educate for free, then You should do it
But if you have expenses and think that you have a Worth
you are booking a seminar hall, providing food
and you think that, actually when you pay for something
When i open a gym in my home, i don’t usually do it
But when i pay for my Gym subscription, i go for workout daily
Because i have paid for it
similarly with the education, when you pay for education, you get to know about its worth
otherwise you will take this for granted
and maybe Thats why some take money for education, but it shouldn’t be much high that it seem to me a Money making model
