Last month, Unacademy did something very unsusal. It introduced a new policy, restricting how much its educators can engage online.
Ever since, Unacademy has either suspended or sent show cause notices to at least 50-60 of its teachers.

But Unacademy relied on its teachers to bring in students. It wanted them to be popular so it encouraged its teachers to work on methods to hack social media. It made them its sales force.

What made it make this U-turn and restrict the personal social media accounts of teachers? Many think the Karan Sangwan incident must've something to do with it but there is much more to it than what meets the eye.

Tune in.
