This company, WhiteHatJr, is the scummiest of the edutech companies in India and one guy (u/pooniahigh) has been posting about this company in reddit and everywhere and he is even getting death threats.

Some of the content he posts is not legal but you can see how bad they are.

WhiteHatJr's ads are everywhere now from tv to newspaper and their parent company BJYU is valued at $10B. I cannot believe a company can openly do such shady business, that too in educational sector and government doesn't bat an eye. :(

The Ads by WhiteHat make it like kids should code & put random apps online whereas while young adults should engage in fantasy cricket leagues or poker.

Not to mention the stupid tactics by their PR team to shush reviews without knowing the consequences of such acts

There is a counterpart to white hat hacking.... Not that I would ever advocate for anything illegal.
