As the number of <keyword id="1974985" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Edutech-startups">Edutech startups</keyword> is rising in the country, another player SuperProfs.com that has entered this space to revolutionize the way competitive exam preparations are done is now emerging as one of the strong pillars in the sector. Backed by investors like Kalaari Capital, IDG Ventures and Indian Angel Network, SuperProfs.com has already seen close to 300% growth back in 2014.<br />
<br /> With over 500 courses, the subscription-based online coaching destination for students is going strong. It prepares students for Competitive Examinations like CA, CS, CMA, GATE, UPSC, Banking &amp; SSC among others. Founded in 2010 by Piyush Agarwal, an alumni of IIT Kanpur and <keyword id="101399" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Stanford-University">Stanford University</keyword>, the vision for this portal has been to make quality education accessible to masses right from its inception.<br />
<br />
The idea of a portal like Superprofs came by during Agarwal’s stay at Stanford University. He realized the importance of digitizing classrooms and how this could help in making quality education accessible to masses.<br />
<br />
With this idea, Piyush dropped out of the graduate program at Stanford University and decided to come back to India and set­up a start­up in 2010. Piyush and the team developed a cutting edge technology which later got various education and training institutes to deliver HD quality live Classroom sessions at extremely low internet speeds (as low as 100 Kbps). This led to widespread adoption of the technology across major coaching institutes, preparing students for competitive exams like IIT-­JEE and CA. These institutes opened up multiple learning centers across the country to make their classes available to remote students using the technology developed by the team.<br />
<br />
Now, the company has managed to get onboard some of India’s top professors, who are experts in their respective fields. They are hired looking at three qualities – whether they are result oriented, tech savvy and student friendly.<br />
<br /> Headquartered in New Delhi, with offices in Bangalore and Hyderabad as well, Superprofs team has 100 people from various walks of life. Many of them are alumni of prestigious institutes like IITs, IIMs, Stanford, among others and have previously worked at top tech companies like <keyword id="10387" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Microsoft">Microsoft</keyword> and <keyword id="6355629" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Google">Google</keyword>.<br />
<br />
<strong>How it works</strong><br />
The online classrooms are available in HD Quality, yet they work on low internet bandwidth (as low as 2G / 3G). The students are required to download video lectures in their mobile app on their phones/tablets and they can watch them offline too.<br />
<br />
Superprofs claims to have a repertoire of courses taught by over 200+ professors from various parts of the country to cater to students from different geographies.<br />
<br />
The portal is also extending real-time doubt clearing, assessments and study material in its bid to ensure comprehensive learning experience for students.<br />
<br />
Data shows more than 5 lakh students have registered with the portal, and their Android mobile app so far has over 2 lakh downloads.<br />

Superprofs - Another EduTech Startup trying to
revolutionize the way students are preparing for competitive exams In India

We live in a world where hustle-culture has been over-glorified by companies. Even though recent studies have shown that the new generation prioritises <keyword id="19901232" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="work-life-balance" source="keywords">work-life balance</keyword> over a bigger pay cheque, the situation is far from changing. Most companies, especially in India, still follow a rigid 9-5 schedule and often tend to overwork their employees to the extent that they sometimes affect their physical and mental health. A grave case has now surfaced where a 26-year-old employee allegedly passed away due to immense <keyword id="21000002" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="work-pressure" source="keywords">work pressure</keyword>. <br /><br />The woman, named <keyword id="23214242" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anna-Sebastian-Perayil" source="keywords">Anna Sebastian Perayil</keyword>, was a <keyword id="20065808" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chartered-Accountant" source="keywords">Chartered Accountant</keyword> who had joined EY in March this year. This was her first job. Her mother, in a letter to the company, expressed her sorrow at losing her daughter and said that she passed away due to immense work pressure. The letter has now gone viral on LinkedIn and people are reacting strongly to the news, calling to end the glorification of hustle culture. <br /><br /><h2>26-year-old dies, mother blames work stress </h2>In her letter to the company, Anna’s mother begins by writing that the young employee passed her CA Exams in November 2023 and joined the company in March this year. "She was full of life, dreams and excitement for the future," she added. She then writes how Anna was thrilled to be a part of the company but passed away four months later, on July 20. <br /><br />"My world collapsed when I received the devastating news," she wrote. <br /><br />In the letter, Anna's mother further explained how the work culture at EY is extremely toxic and that they burden newcomers with "backbreaking" tasks. She added that Anna experienced "anxiety, sleeplessness, and stress" soon after starting her new job. She also added how Anna was working even on the day of her convocation and insisted on getting back to work after they took her to a doctor after she complained of chest pain.<br /><br />"Since she had been complaining of chest constriction upon reaching her PG late at night for the past week, we took her to the hospital in Pune. Her ECG was normal and the cardiologist came to allay our fears, telling us she wasn't getting enough sleep and was eating very late."<br /><br />Anna's mother added  that her manager would "reschedule meetings during cricket matches and assign her work at the end of the day." When Anna voiced her concerns, she was told that working late at night is something they all do.<br /><br />“Anna would return to her room utterly exhausted, sometimes collapsing on the bed without even changing her clothes, only to be bombarded with messages asking for more reports. She was putting in her best efforts, working very hard to meet the deadlines. She was a fighter to the core, not someone to give up easily. We told her to quit, but she wanted to learn and gain new exposure. However, the overwhelming pressure proved too much even for her,” the letter read. <br /><br /><h2>'No one attended her funeral'</h2><br />In addition to  this, Anna's mother also  wrote that nobody came to attend her funeral. The letter  read,  “ This absence at such a critical moment, for an employee who gave her all to your organization until her last breath, is deeply hurtful. Anna deserved better, and so do all the employees who continue to work under these conditions. <br /><br />"My heart aches not just for the loss of my child but also for the lack of empathy shown by those who were supposed to guide and support her. After her funeral, I reached out to her managers, but I received no reply. How can a company that speaks of values and human rights fail to show up for one of its own in their final moments?”<br /><br /><h2>Internet reactions</h2>The internet is reacting strongly to the news and various people have been sharing the letter with their own opinion. <br /><br />“Few managers really need to google the word HUMILITY and incorporate it into their lives. They are already destroying young Indian careers with toxicity, incompetence, and a lack of people management skills,” wrote Manisha Yadav, a CA finalist. <br /><br />“I hope people who did this to you get punished and shamed. I request everyone please take care of yourself, protect yourself. No Job is worth exploiting your mental and physical health,” wrote Fathima Shahjahan, an HR professional. <br /><br />“Very heart breaking to see young professional Anna Sebastian Perayil leaving us! We live in a world where it is difficult to be mentally strong as some things can worry us, affect us and hurt us,” wrote Prabhdeep Singh Baweja, a senior level employee at The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India<br />

For instance, they assist advisers with client inquiries on a transaction's status, clarifying something from a statement that a client didn't understand, or helping a client follow through on a mortgage application.</p><p>They're "the glue that brings everything together," Andy Sieg, the head of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/merrill-lynch">Merrill Lynch</a>, told Business Insider in an interview. </p><p>"There have been development programs in place," Sieg said.

Merrill Lynch's expanded client associate coaching is one way to better train up relatively junior staffers and free up financial advisers to up productivity - a focus for big wealth managers seeking to boost margins who want FAs to focus on more than just portfolio construction. </p><p>"We try to use simulators that help them practice on the technology, which we feel like is a much more productive and efficient way to get people up to speed on the systems that we use," John Jordan, managing director and head of Bank of America's Academy program, told us in an interview.</p><p>Through the expanded development, instructors will train up client associates around areas like more granular aspects of financial planning and investment management.  </p><p>The Academy has more than 230 dedicated managers around the US, and Jordan estimates some 45,000 employees will go through that group's training - across business lines, including the private bank - this year.</p><h1>Changing roles mirroring a changing industry </h1><p>Merrill Lynch, for its part, has already made efforts to sweeten the pot for trainee hires. </p><p>We <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/andy-sieg-merrill-lynch-financial-adviser-trainee-hiring-salaries-2019-10">first reported in October</a> that the wealth manager, among the largest in the US by client assets and number of advisers, raised trainee financial advisers' starting salaries by $10,000 to $65,000.</p><p>It had also deployed 75 performance managers around the country to coach trainees, tracking goals and metrics like how many meetings they have with potential clients. </p><p>The CA's widening scope also highlights financial advisers' evolving roles across the industry, from sole stock-picker to a more all-encompassing financial planner working on a team, Sieg said.</p><p>CAs may resemble more of a senior relationship manager, or a junior financial adviser.</p><p>"As part of this new training curriculum, we're also trying to have training programs that match this increased level of specialization that we see for CA's within our most modern and fastest-growing teams," he said.</p><p class="source"><span>REUTERS/Vivek Prakash </span></p><p>Bank of America's global wealth and investment management unit reported record client balances of $3 trillion as of December 31.
