This week on Backstage with Millionaires, we’re diving into one of the most significant moments in Indian edtech — PhysicsWallah’s upcoming IPO. From a YouTube channel started by Alakh Pandey to a ₹3,480 crore public issue, we break down how the company’s hybrid online-offline model became a blueprint for sustainable growth — and what this could mean for the second innings of India’s edtech revolution.

We also talk about Nvidia joining the India Deep Tech Alliance as a founding member — a major step that could accelerate India’s AI, semiconductor, and robotics ecosystem. Plus quick updates on Tesla’s new India head, QpiAI’s 64-qubit quantum chip, Porter’s layoffs, and Lenskart’s IPO success.
In our weekly funding roundup, we cover Spacewood, Stackbox, Ulook, Tsalla Aerospace, and Blyp, who together raised over $61 million this week.

  1. There is no scope for retail investors in Edtech offerings. IPOs off late of these so called technology companies have been dumped on the retail investors while creating exits for promoters and early investors. PW is moving towards a brick and mortar model, where there is little use of technology. It will become an Akash, where in EBITDAs are usually around 7-8% at store level and even lower at corporate level.

  2. Dukaandaari kaa dhandha hai , gali gali muhalle muhalle coaching hai aur online me to bhai har youtuber hi aajkal apna course bech raha hai plus established coaching bussineses to hai hi plus jo PW kar raha uski koi defensibility nahi hai apart from the fact ki agar aap critisize karoge to PW ke dalle aapko comment me gaali dene lag jayege aur tech me inke paas background me sad emotional music lagane ke alawa kuch nahi hai .

  3. Mai 10th class me jaha tution padhta tha wo sir bhi aajkal JEE NEET coaching chala rahe hai basically har coaching chalane wala aajkal khud ko JEE NEET Foundation ki taiyaari karwane wala bol de raha maa baap bhi double paise dene ko taiyaar hai aur mujhe nahi lagta itne commoditise bussiness me inke paas kuch aisa hai jo inhe koi advantage de , ho sakta hai inke paas Paisa hai to badhiya teachers hire kare lekin again badhiya teacher badhiya salary bhi lega aur agar aap ko fee to badhana hi hoga , aur ek baar jab bacche ko itni fee lag jayegi aur exam nahi niklegi (jo ki nahi niklegi because exam acche teachers se nahi balki number of seats kitni hai se nikalti hai ) bacche galiya denge PW ko ,koi emotional background music inhe nahe nahi bacha payega 1 lakh fee lene ke baad aur selection naa hone par.

  4. फर्जी डिग्री धारी भ्रष्ट प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने शिक्षा व्यवस्था को ध्वस्त कर दिया है। पेपर लीक और भर्ती रद्द की वजह से युवाओं को रोजगार की दिक्कतें बढ़ती जा रही है। बीजेपी जानबूझ कर नौकरियां खत्म कर रही है जागो Gen Z जागो युवाओं जागो हिंदुओं जागो 🚩

  5. what are you trying to say?if Physics Wallah did well after their IPO doesn’t mean other edtech companies will have the same success,right? even if they follow a similar strategy. Physics Wallah already has a strong presence in the market, so any new player would need to bring something unique to stand out. Honestly, I don’t think the traditional education system will stay the same in the coming years.

  6. Hey Pankaj, interesting to hear you are entering into Personal Finance. Glad to have a serious competetior from well know Startup echo system. I am also building the solution and planning to release by next month. When you com across name "KEDIL Money" in the future remmeber me the guy who behind it. 😊
