true.. But, still if the IPO comes, investors will flock to buy the shares, which will further increase the valuation of the company.. The whole startup ecosystem in India has turned into a money laundering hub..
没错,但是,如果IPO到来,投资者仍然会蜂拥购买股票,从而进一步推高公司的估值。印度的整个创业生态系统已经成了一个洗钱中心。

Hope india follows china, bans these senseless edtech startups which is no less than a tuition centre whose only aim is to exploit parents and make money. India should come out of these exam prep system's and focus on practical knowledge.
希望印度效仿中国,禁止这些教育科技创业公司,这些创业公司就是培训机构,唯一的目的就是剥削家长赚钱。印度应该走出备考体制,专注于实用知识。

Hello Byju Raveendran have you plugged in the losses of last year? Raising capital for this? Doubt that you will ever break even.
Byju Raveendran,你填补了去年的损失吗?
融资是为了弥补损失吗?我怀疑你是否能做到收支平衡。

Do you think he would really care about it.. He must have already made hundreds of millions, if not billions. It's a matter of time that this bubble bursts, and the investors lose their money..
你认为他真的会在意吗?
他肯定已经赚了上亿。泡沫破裂,投资者赔钱,只是时间问题。
