If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation

[@minidinusmark1794]

What are you talking about and how could this be explained?can someone please explain

[@garyweber9118]

I'm really confused, especially in market analysis, how are people using trading with them?

[@CassandraWeir-vc2ut]

Trading with an expert is really beneficial. This will help you not to lose your money in the trading market.

[@aladinrashid7590]

How does this crypto stuff really works and how do I make I make good profit from it? I'm willing to invest in it but I need guidance so I don't lose out

[@alanbeck5669]

Do you have any idea of any good broker/trader I can start with that's trust worthy?

[@doki1146]

[@sudhamjayanthi]

fr yeahh lol we love you either way varun

[@EcomCarl]

your insights into the future of software programming and business with AI are invaluable for navigating the ever-changing landscape of tech. Their discussion on how education businesses like Scaler are preparing individuals for this future is both enlightening and inspiring! 💡

[@pavan_narendra]

Its even hard to complete the full podcast, I completed it in 3 sittings. And the way Scaler solved this problem is very good that traditional colleges failed. And a big thanks to you Varun for bringing this industry insights from the good and succeeded entrepreneurs and business leaders.

[@Gauri-xe1oo]

Abhimanyu Saxena, his and his team's vision is great! Scaler team is awesome and great, they are the people who are actually contributing in the making of increadible india! Great work, great job, and all the best!😍

[@propavangameryt405]

There can’t be a single video in varun’s channel without AI mentioned in it, since the AI is out.

[@ajay12ks2003]

Educational institutions should shape the industry, and in turn, the industry should help restructure curricula. Innovation requires research, which might not always be profitable for the industry to invest in. We should not undermine other streams of engineering. Just because software coding is prevalent in this era doesn't mean we should drop the basic engineering sciences. Success and money can lead people to undermine other areas and become overconfident. Studying in IITs is totally different experience you get to study engineering sciences,humanities,management,value education. Making chisel in workshop gives you different aspects of engineering.

[@navneetsingh9024]

Great video really informative. Thanks a lot😊

[@anirudhsama]

Google is exception where the founders didn’t want to do 10-100. In Ubers case Travis was very willing but was pushed out. Let’s look at the rest Microsoft - Bill Gates retired after growing it to the most valuable company Apple - Jobs died Elon, Zuck, Jensen are all founders still leading the companies.

Love the podcast and your haircut ❤

[@WorldWithoutReligion]

This guy i.e. Varun got so insecure and depressed by the success and fame that his wife Achina was getting cos of their channel Aevy TV that he started this own channel and got some really awesome and informative content for it.. One of the rare examples where an insecure spouse innovated and improved for better .. good going Varun M...bt i wud still suggest don't be insecure of your wife's success... Bless both of you ❤❤❤

[@ManishRachakonda]

Im happy to see abhimanyu herw

[@albin6126]

Why should even people complete. There aren't that many openings now a days. We have already solved the edtech through KZbin and why we are still trying to teach coding to everyone

[@impushprajyadav]

[@balajee_in]

Varun sir your look so cool

[@jatingupta4708]

Best sells pitch is when it does'nt seem like selling Unfortunately you guys failed on it

[@prathapsankar007]

How come Scalar is edu tech? What technical do they do?

[@RJD-vm6pz]

How ignorant can a person be? An Edtech is basically a company that provides education through technology. Byjus, physicswallah ,scaler etc are all Edtech. They teach students through technology (online classes, courses etc) using videos, apps, e-materials etc..

[@NoOne-ou2bx]

​​​​​@@RJD-vm6pz movies are delivered digitally now... would it make the movie production houses tech companies? At least Coursera is a course marketplace the so called edtech companies you mentioned are more of a course making companies aren't they.. Now calling someone ignorant if you don't agree with them, not cool... @pratap The usage of word edtech has become so prevalent that edtech doesn't imply being a tech company, you can stop looking for tech in edutech companies ;)

[@user-lk8lt8gw5n]

Hey Varun I am going to join college what should i learn

[@cascadeum]

I think it just doesn't matter anymore lol, also depends on which college But if you think that your college will end up useless, and that you can learn real skills instead, you would want to take like the easiest course so you have time to do other things (definitely not professional reply)

[@TheMsnitish]

Dating and networking

[@Dometacit]

​@@TheMsnitishhe asked varun, not u 😂

[@Dometacit]

​@@cascadeumhe asked varn not you lol

[@oldgangster4119]

23:05 I don't agree to that completely, a good education system's purpose is to create that vacuum or that hunger/ curosity in ones mind to learn something, and not just do that thing to get a certification. I have taken enough online courses of these so called "future of education" companies and according to me these type of learning must not become our future.

It should not comment on unemployment you even do not know the definition of unemployment . You are understanding of societal issues is so much flawed . You think that success and one area translate to other , your ideas and concepts outside tech are b******* . You should stick to the game you are good at
