Other participants of Yellow Class’ Series A round include Meesho’s cofounder Vidit Aatrey, Indifi’s founder Alok Mittal, Bounce cofounder Vivekananda Hallekere, <keyword id="2808667" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="OYO">OYO</keyword>’s global chief strategy officer Maninder Gulati, OYO’s chief operating officer Abhinav Sinha, PropTiger’s chief executive Dhruv Agarwala and Xiaomi Indonesia’s country director Alvin Tse. Yellow Class will use the funds for improving the product experience for both parents and children, developing more content and building brand awareness. A part of the funding would also be used to hire for leadership roles across the product, technology and engineering verticals as it plans to expand to 500 cities in India and international markets. In November 2020, it had raised $1.5 million in a seed round led by India Quotient. The company was founded in 2020 by Anshul Gupta and Arpit Mittal to offer extracurricular and co-curricular classes to students between 3-12 years of age. The company currently offers courses across 40 categories like art, craft, dance, yoga, general knowledge, logical reasoning and more. These courses are taught by experienced mentors including influencers, professionals and celebrities. Each class is attended by 10,000 children simultaneously and the platform has over a million students registered on its platform. The company aims to onboard 10 million monthly active teachers in the next one year. Yellow Class’ founders Gupta and Mittal, in a joint statement, said, “Studies have shown that more than 100 million Indian kids below 13 years of age spend an average of 100 hours per month on YouTube and other similar platforms. Parents are actively looking for better, interactive alternatives that would be beneficial for their child’s cognitive growth.” The company claims to have grown 18-fold in the last six months and plans to build new categories of extra/co-curricular classes on its platform. It is also looking to incorporate classes in vernacular languages, driving social peer-to-peer engagement and ensuring deeper progress tracking.

Whereas all transactions above ₹5,000 will require a further additional link for authentication, as they are not eligible for e-mandate-based recurring transactions. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Why the change?" comment="subhead" text="Why the change?">Why the change?</cmsannotation> The development comes as RBI introduced an additional factor of authentication for all recurring transactions in August 2019. The <a href="https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/NotificationUser.aspx?Id=11668">guidelines </a>require users to opt for an e-mandate facility through a one-time registration process, which can only be successful once the user validates using an OTP, besides entering their bank/card/UPI details. Users will also get an option to pause, modify or cancel their recurring transactions. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How will it work?" comment="subhead" text="How will it work?">How will it work?</cmsannotation> An e-mandate is a standing instruction initiated by the RBI and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) that allows businesses to collect recurring payments of up to ₹5,000. These mandates can be directly set up through a net banking transaction from merchant websites. For example, if a user is signing up for a <keyword id="128682" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="netflix" source="Orion">Netflix</keyword> subscription via an e-mandate, he or she can schedule all monthly payments through a one-time authentication. <div type="image" title="From Oct, what will change" msid="86655011" hostid="261"></div> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What experts say?" comment="subhead" text="What experts say?">What experts say?</cmsannotation> What this essentially means is that one will have to re-authenticate all their subscriptions and recurring payments once again starting October, without which the payment to the merchant (say, Netflix) will fail, said Mandar Kagade, founder and principal at Black Dot Public Policy Advisors. “The onus of re-authentication and grievance redressal falls on issuing banks, which would need to have their systems prepared as customers may see failed payments or issues with authentication via OTPs. Since so many e-mandates would need to be set up on the same day, it is likely that we will see a non-trivial number of failures,” he said. Even as the RBI’s new guidelines help make payments more secure for customers, there are likely to be short-term challenges as banks will see a sudden rise in authenticating e-mandates, said Srinath Sridharan, member of governance council at Fintech Association for Consumer Empowerment (FACE). “October is going to be a critical month because there will be multi-fold challenges in processing such payments, starting from the tremendous pressure on bank servers due to spike in bulk OTP messages, which would need to be sent to consumers for setting up their e-mandates, to addressing disputes emanating from failures in such authentication,” he said. Further, banks will increasingly need to depend on fintech companies to help them handle such large volumes of e-mandates that will come through October, he said. “Most banks will have to depend on fintech companies to make this processing possible, which are much better equipped to assist banks in processing e-mandates for recurring transactions,” he said. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="If not manually, how else can I set up e-mandates for all my recurring payments?" comment="subhead" text="If not manually, how else can I set up e-mandates for all my recurring payments?">If not manually, how else can I set up e-mandates for all my recurring payments?</cmsannotation> Customers who do not want to make all their recurring payments manually can either set up auto-pay using the net banking facility, or do it through online <keyword id="6420963" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bill-payment" source="Orion">bill payment</keyword> companies. Fintech companies such as BillDesk, Citibank’s Billpay, ICICI Bank’s Mandate Hub and Yes Bank’s PayNow allow users to set up auto-pay e-mandates, while others such as PayU's Zion and Razorpay’s Mandate HQ enable banks to automate recurring transactions. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="More pain for banks and telecom operators" comment="subhead" text="More pain for banks and telecom operators">More pain for banks and telecom operators</cmsannotation> “The usual retail consumer traffic increases over the weekend, which means every time a customer tries to re-authenticate their recurring payment, the bank will have to send out OTPs, and those banks that are not well-equipped or have not adequately invested in integrating their servers, will face a lot of challenges,” said Sridharan. In March, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had to roll back its norms on commercial text messages, which required ‘scrubbing’ of text messages by telecom providers, to protect customers from spams. However, once implemented, many customers took to social media to complain about not receiving OTPs for transactional messages such as for banking and e-commerce. “As each of these banks start pushing out bulk messages, the traffic from bank servers to authenticate transactions will suddenly increase. Hopefully, the user banks are ready with technology preparedness and SoPs (standard operating procedures) for this. And more importantly, all industry stakeholders should be geared to address consumer concerns, and to ensure that the customer call centres and other touch points are ready for handling both queries and speedy redressal of grievances,” said Sridharan.

This would allow the social media giant to expand its digital presence in the Indian market by tapping into Jio’s subscriber base of over 370 million, which is bigger than the entire population of the US. However, this isn’t the first time that Mark Zuckerberg’s come knocking on India’s door. His maiden attempt in 2013 was a grand promise of free internet and a 10-page plan, called Internet.org and Free Basics, in partnership with Mukesh’s brother Anil Ambani, whose telecom venture, incidentally, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/anil-ambanis-journey-from-42-billion-net-worth-to-claiming-poverty/articleshow/74028627.cms">declared bankruptcy</a> earlier this year. It was curtains for the first Ambani-Zuckerberg tie-up after the Indian government bowed in front of the massive backlash from those who <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/tech/net-neutrality-ravi-shankar-prasad-says-right-of-internet-access-is-non-negotiable/story-3HATMUGp5Qg4S0xq2sBagJ.html">sought ‘net neutrality’</a>. <div type="image" title="Mark Zukcerberg" msid="74804409" hostid="261"></div>

 Since then, in 2014, Facebook acquired Little Eye Labs — a startup based out of Bengaluru that was working on a software tool to analyse the performance of apps on Android phones. It has also <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/facebook-invests-in-indian-startup-meesho/articleshow/69782285.cms">invested in Indian startup Meesho</a>, an e-commerce company that leverages social media to connect customers with resellers last year.

None of them compare to the scale and potential of the proposed deal talks with Reliance Jio, a unit of Reliance Industries, one of India’s biggest conglomerates owned by Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani. Zuckerberg is hoping that he has knocked on the doors of the right Ambani. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; width: 451.276pt; table-layout: fixed;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Billionaire </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Net worth </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Asia ranking </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">World ranking </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Mark Zuckerberg </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">$55.1 billion </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">- </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">4 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Mukesh Ambani </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">$32.8 billion </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">1 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">13 </td></tr></tbody></table> The Facebook-Jio deal talks The Facebook-Jio deal is reportedly valued in “multi-billion dollars”, according to a report by the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a1ca0569-7ef7-49c8-b88e-72b792eefc62">Financial Times</a>. The Mark Zuckerberg-led company was close to signing a preliminary deal, but the Coronavirus pandemic has stalled it. Launched in 2016, the three-and-a-half-year-old Reliance Jio is valued at $60 billion by analysts at financial services firm Bernstein. A 10% stake would fetch the company $6 billion (approx. ₹45,000 crore). The current market capitalisation of the entire Reliance Industries, of which Reliance Jio is a part, is ₹6.5 lakh crore. 
 
 
 
 <div type="image" title="Reliance Industries" msid="74803978" hostid="261"></div>









 Jio is also reportedly in talks with Google, although details in this regard are not known yet. The deal talks may also be scuttled by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic but if and when they resume, the rationale for Facebook to pay top dollars for Jio’s shares are clear. Here’s why Facebook may want a stake in Reliance Jio What Zuckerberg and the younger Ambani sibling aimed⁠— provide internet access to all, as per their own stated goals ⁠— Jio has already achieved in less than three years of existence by just driving down the cost of data so low that millions of India’s poor could afford it. In a little over three years, Jio has gone from zero to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/mukesh-ambanis-reliance-jio-becomes-the-largest-telco-by-revenue-and-subscribers-as-industry-shows-signs-of-recovery/articleshow/73667566.cms">capturing nearly 35% of the total subscribers</a> in India. After offering free data and voice services to its users for six months, Jio changed the telecom landscape in India by offering high-speed 4G data at throwaway prices along with free voice calls. 
 
 
 
 <div type="image" title="Mukesh Ambani" msid="74804027" hostid="261"></div>









 While Mukesh Ambani may claim altruistic intentions, just like Zuckerberg and Anil Ambani did in 2013, Jio’s aggression was intended to capture market share from incumbent players like Airtel and Vodafone-Idea who have been entrenched in the market for decades. Apart from telecom services, Jio also offers a suite of apps including JioSaavn, JioTV and JioCinema. It also has a foot in the e-commerce business via JioMart, which was soft-launched earlier this year in partnership with Reliance Retail. Facebook's next few millions Although Facebook has a huge user base in India, 740 million in all, via its social media services and WhatsApp, this is one of the few markets in the world with a big enough headroom for growth, given the sheer size of the population. India’s internet users are estimated to increase by more than 70% in the next four years, according to a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/india-to-have-966-million-mobile-users-by-2023-but-less-than-5-will-have-5g-report/articleshow/74202680.cms">Cisco report</a>. And Jio, with its entire array of services from telecom to e-commerce to music, movies, and content, may be a holistic way of tapping into the market without having to face the operational challenges that come with it. Not just big, India is also a tough market both in terms of competition and regulation, something Zuckerberg may have learnt while trying to launch <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/whatsapp-pay-expanding-reach-in-india-2020-2?IR=T">WhatsApp Pay</a> services in the country.
