It’s a highly controversial tech company into online education in India. Controversial because they were a highly valued but hugely loss making company and then they apparently fudged their financials, Deloitte quit as their auditor, they underpaid and laid off 1000s of employees/educators, and cheated customers/parents into buying expensive bundles through super aggressive marketing where not so savvy customers were “bullied” into making purchases that are hard to unsubscribe

Looks like its a educational learning app.
I literally linked to it!
Doesn’t help much if you live in the EU because the reason this post exists.
I think they want to know if it is safe to click at work. Which seems like it is but the wiki link is more helpful.
