India’s Most Expensive Subscription? Education 🔥 You’re not broke. You just signed up for the costliest subscription model in India the dream of “making it” through education. Every month, we pay to belong: - ₹1.5L/year for private school fees - ₹90K for "future-proof" coding classes for 8-year-olds - ₹2L/year for coaching institutes with 2% success rates - And EMIs for online degrees nobody respects in the hiring room All of this, while: - 40% of Indian graduates are unemployed - 2 out of 3 engineers aren't job-ready - Most MBAs in Tier 2 colleges make less than ₹25,000/month But we keep paying. Because in India, education is no longer a path. It’s a signal. A signal that says: “I’m serious.” “I’m capable.” “I’m not a failure.” We’re not learning to grow. We’re learning to survive optics. And it’s not just students. Parents too are trapped in the EMI circus: - Borrowing to pay school fees - Taking loans for upskilling - Fighting WhatsApp school groups while silently sacrificing retirement dreams It’s all emotionally rational. But financially insane. Here’s the quiet tragedy no one will say out loud: We’ve turned education into debt, And curiosity into anxiety. Because somewhere along the way, we stopped asking: “What are we actually learning?” Not every EdTech is a scam. Not every classroom is broken. But the pressure? The pressure is real. And it's burning out an entire generation before they even start. So the question isn’t just "how do we fix education?" It’s: How do we stop paying for insecurity in the name of ambition?

We all take history class in school, but never a future class. They teach the past, not the future. We’re guided by what was, but shouldn’t we be prepared for what’s coming? Education should include a future class—so we’re not just stuck in the past
