Offtopic-I would like this to blow up disproportionately because the only way whitehatjr is gonna backoff is because of a media backlash
They are the biggest scam in India capitalizing on FOMO of Indian parents. They charge heaftily (more than $2000) to teach app development (using Scratch, Firebase etc.). Their staff is poorly paid and just reads off scripts. Their staff doesn't know even the basics of CS (as evidenced in this video: https://youtu.be/1Y21eSn_zSM?t=64 , when the student asks how files are stored in Cloud Storage, she says the files ar…
Interesting. This reminds me of the story of Siraj Raval, a formerly highly influential YouTuber on machine learning and blockchain topics: https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2019/10/16/why-siraj-ravals-... Some years ago, when I started getting into machine learning, I couldn't tell he is a fraud.

WhiteHat Jr is one of the worst startups in India, there product is pure crap, employees are equally stressed with outrageous targets. Unfortunately any dissent is limited to social media as Indian media will peddle whatever the advertisers/government want them to say.
