On Monday, the messaging platform launched another education campaign — “Share Joy, Not Rumours” — to educate users to not misuse the platform with elections just a month away. While the previous <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/whatsapp-has-a-new-radio-campaign-to-counter-fake-news-in-india/articleshow/65606213.cms">campaigns by WhatsApp focused on educating</a> the general public through media, TV, radio advertisements, this campaign has been aimed to instruct people on the inbuilt controls that the application provides, so as to put a halt to spreading of misleading information, said the company. The move is to ensure safe election process. WhatsApp has become one of the most dominant social media platforms in India to spread political messaging. According to media reports, WhatsApp in India has over 87,000 groups dedicated to political messaging to influence voters. While its user base on the messaging platform was reportedly 200 million as of two years ago. Social media has become an integral part of election campaigning. With the Indian government recently introducing policies and regulations to curb fake news via social media platforms including WhatsApp and Facebook, the platforms along with the Internet Mobile Association of India have put out a ‘<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/general-elections-2019-code-of-ethics-for-social-media-platforms/articleshow/68502882.cms">Voluntary Code of Ethics’</a> dedicated to the upcoming elections. WhatsApp, including other social media firms, will now have to process any request from the Election Commission to take down content within three hours during the 48-hour period before voting days. WhatsApp is estimated to reach a smartphone user base of 430 million, according to Counterpoint Research. "Over 87,000 groups aiming to influence the voters are currently active on WhatsApp. From fake statistics related to various government policies to news promoting regional violence, manipulated political news, government scams, historical myths, propaganda to patriotism and Hindu nationalism — WhatsApp has it all in the election season," social media expert Anoop Mishra reportedly said. Each WhatsApp Group can potentially have 256 users. This implies that the 87,000 groups can reach over <a href="https://www.livemint.com/technology/tech-news/the-great-indian-elections-87-000-groups-on-whatsapp-targeting-voters-1553420018380.html">22 million people</a>, engaging a much bigger audience in their mission to influence voters, he added.

The investment, which will go towards bringing on board more educators and better the product, also saw the founders Gaurav Munjal and Roman Saini participate in the round. “In the last few months, we have taken bigger strides toward achieving this mission. We have more than 400 top educators from across the country taking live classes every day on Unacademy Plus. This is available to every student, irrespective of their location,” said Munjal. Unacademy plus is the startup’s subscription plan which has more than 50,000 learners. The startup, which was founded in 2015, has over 13 million learners. “We are seeing unprecedented growth and engagement from learners in smaller towns and cities, and are also very humbled to see that top-quality educators are choosing Unacademy as their primary platform to reach out to students,” said Munjal. This also shows the growth trajectory of Indian online education space. Online education industry in India is expected to hit 9.6 million by 2021 user base, which was 1.6 million in 2016, as per a KPMG report. In fact, a survey by education startup GradeUp also shows that students are counting on online teaching for competitive exams — JEE, NEET, GATE, SSC and banking exams. Meanwhile, the big player in Indian <keyword id="1974983" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Edutech">edutech</keyword> space remains Byju’s – which had recently reported profitability with an increase in the number of paid users. Its revenue has tripled to reach ₹14.3 billion in the financial year ending March 2019, though it has not shared the net profit numbers. This volume of numbers has also brought in the renewed interest of investors, who are betting on the Indian education technology space. Interestingly, Sequoia is a common investor between Byju’s and Unacademy.

Given that, nearly half (47%) of the total students enrolling in the training programs completed the course.

The startup <a href="https://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/internet/byjus-claims-to-have-tripled-its-revenues-to-rs-1430-crore-in-fy19/69583803">reported</a> that its revenue has tripled to reach ₹14.3 billion in the financial year ending March 2019, though it has not shared the net profit numbers. However, these swollen revenues come at the back of increase in its paid user base, which now stands at 2.4 million. This number has doubled from last year, when it stood at 1.26 million in June 2018. The ability of this online tutorial startup to capture paying public, enabled its entry into the super exclusive profiteers club. “The growth in revenue was fuelled by deeper penetration across India and significant growth in the number of paid subscribers,” said the <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/byju-s-turns-profitable-in-8-years-gears-up-to-enter-us-in-a-big-way-119053100043_1.html">company</a>’s statement. While it has never officially reported it, Byju’s has reached breakeven last year, within eight years of its existence. Global Ambitions It now plans to enter the global market and more specifically, the US. Recently, Byju’s acquired a US-based platform for educational games for $120 million. It is also partnering with Walt Disney to introduce a new early learning app for kids. Byju’s last <a href="https://yourstory.com/2019/03/byjus-funding-general-atlantic-tencent-2yv8bkk19e">reported</a> valuation was at $5 billion after it raised funding of ₹214 crores (MILLION) in March 2019. The investment came from NY-based General Atlantic and Chinese VC firm Tencent. The eight-year old startup was founded by a teacher named Byju Raveendran. Over the years, the startup has steadily gained popularity and had even signed bigwigs like Bollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan and Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu as brand ambassadors.

The film has been launched across social media platforms YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. P&amp;G Shiksha focuses on providing underprivileged children access to holistic education. The prolonged school closure due to the pandemic has posed a growing concern on learning and continuity of education, especially for underprivileged children. During the past year, P&amp;G Shiksha provided online education to 50,000+ underprivileged children. Till date, P&amp;G Shiksha has built and supported more than 2,300 schools which will impact the lives of more than 20 lakh children. The film, inspired by true events, showcases two parallel worlds around us – one where the slightest disturbance in online schooling is a big matter of concern and the other world where children are still dreaming of going to school in remote parts of the country. Munni and Vidya’s story is a simple yet heart-warming instance of the dreams fulfilled by P&amp;G Shiksha through its interventions. The P&amp;G Shiksha film has been conceptualised and created by Leo Burnett. <div type="Youtube" id="bErKJIWV_sU" title="P&amp;G Shiksha | Munni" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bErKJIWV_sU/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Speaking about the new film, Girish Kalyanaraman, Vice President – Marketing Operations, P&amp;G India said, “We know that education is essential for development of children and society’s growth at large. Education is critical, now more than ever, given the prolonged closure of schools and the impact on children due to the pandemic. During this challenging time, we upgraded P&amp;G Shiksha with online education so that thousands of children could continue learning from home. We hope the film builds an emotional connect with the audience and inspires them to do their bit towards Shiksha.” Rajdeepak Das, MD India and Chief Creative Officer – South Asia, Leo Burnett, said “The lockdown pushed one part of India into online schooling overnight. We have seen when the internet is down, and the child loses even 5 mins of online class there is chaos in the house to get the class back online. And then there is another India where kids don’t have any hope of getting education because there is no school in their entire vicinity. This film portrays the contrast between both worlds in one frame. P&amp;G Shiksha always gives us a canvas to tell a powerful HumanKind story to the world where they can act and bring about a change.” Since its inception in 2005, P&amp;G Shiksha has focused on improving access to holistic education for underprivileged children. P&amp;G partners with leading NGOs and partners who serve as specialists, lending their expertise to specific aspects of the educational system. For instance, Educational Initiatives has expertise in computer-assisted learning software to improve learning levels among children and has been an instrumental partner for P&amp;G Shiksha to reach out to underprivileged children via online education over the last one year. Similarly, the NGO Round Table India, is dedicated to constructing educational infrastructure and supporting schools across India. Pratham has unique expertise in remedial learning to help bring children up to speed with the learning levels as per their curriculum.
