Upgrad cofounder Ronnie Screwvala huddled up with a group of founders and edtech leaders to discuss the way forward from the perception hit, which the sector has taken as a result of the doings of just one company.
The founders aimed to change the narrative around edtech, shifting it away from being seen as a predatory space to highlighting its positive aspects, according to a founder.
GSV Ventures has backed Indian edtech unicorns including Eruditus, Lead, PhysicsWallah as well as startups like Classplus. Deborah Quazzo also spoke about the lack of equilibrium between edtech founders and investors on valuations, which is delaying fundraises in the sector.
