Entrepreneur Ankur Warikoo has shut down his online courses business, which had crossed ₹100 crore in revenue and earned about ₹25 crore in profit since launching in 2020.
He announced the decision in a social media video, saying he is closing the platform after five years of operations. The courses had reportedly reached around 5 lakh learners and became one of his key digital ventures.
Warikoo said the business had grown well beyond expectations, but continuing it no longer felt right. He did not give detailed reasons initially, but said he would share more about the decision later.
The platform offered courses on careers, personal finance and skill development, and was popular among young professionals and students. It grew largely through Warikoo’s strong presence on social media platforms.
The move has surprised many online, as the business was profitable and still growing. Some users questioned why a successful venture was being shut, while others believe it could signal a shift toward new projects.
Warikoo has previously said he focuses not only on profits but also on long-term purpose and alignment in his work.
Details about what happens to existing users of the platform have not been fully shared yet.
