Have you cast a magic spell or something? How do you keep winning all the time, bro?
First keep your word.
Give the exam, then I'll tell you the secret.
Dude, I'm not interested in giving any exams, okay?
I really don't care. What do you like about that place?
Anyway, Bablu sir teaches us at school, right?
So do we learn by doing it or reading it?
By doing it.
Bablu sir teaches physics.
-Is it working? -No, sir.
He makes you fall in love with physics.
So I fell in love.
The universe runs by the laws of physics.
And for me, physics has become my whole universe.
And, my friend, rumour has it,
that physics came first and then the rest of the universe came into existence.
Relax, bro, you convinced me.
I've given the paper. The results will be out.
But first, you need to tell me something.
How do you win all the time?
Tell me. How the hell do you do it?
It's very simple. You're making the plane too wide.
I make it narrow and long. Less air resistance.
Sometimes it goes up, sometimes down.
I aim it at 45 degrees.
Projectile motion. Maximum range.
It's not magic. It's physics.
-They teach you these things in physics? -Hm.
Bro, I am stuck on the ground with my plane.
I'm taking the classes.
The results are out.
-Let's go! -Come on, let's go!
-Bro, something's wrong. -Hm?
That's right. You have really topped the exam.
Role number 6283, right?
-Yeah. -Congratulations.
Our top students always rank in the first 500 at the all-India level.
Okay, ma'am. All that is fine. But who will teach us physics?
The best teacher over here, Mr. Nitin.
You'll get the best batch we have.
You'll get the highest scholarship, 90% off and tax-free to boot!
Only 20,000.
Mm…
Should I block it for you?
I…
Uh, yeah, yeah. Do it. Please block it.
Uh, we'll be back in a day or two. We have to discuss it with the family.
We'll leave now, okay? We'll be back soon.
Excuse me, 6283!
What did you say your name was?
Alakh Pandey.
And he's clean bowled.
Dilip-11 is 27 runs at the loss of three wickets.
I see very dark clouds looming over Dilip-11.
Let's see if the next batsman can get his team out of trouble.
PRAYAGRAJ UTTAR PRADESH
And the next batsman to come onto the field is Rishabh Negi!
He should defend. I'm sure he doesn't want to lose his wicket.
The bowler is on a hat-trick, brimming with confidence.
What do you think? Will he scalp another one?
Yorker. Bowl a yorker.
And it's a sixer!
Okay, now just take it easy, Rishabh.
That was an amazing shot! Unbelievable!
He charges in to bowl. He smashes it for a huge six!
We were expecting a hat-trick of wickets,
but here, Rishabh has struck a hat-trick of sixes.
A fantastic display of batting talent!
With this, Rishabh completes his half century.
He's batting like a star. The pressure is now on Sheru-11.
Well played, Rishabh! Well played!
And he's just a six away from his century now, Rishabh Negi!
Will he be able to make his century or not?
Well bowled. Rishabh has completely missed it.
What's going on? Looks like he's got an injury.
He's struggling a bit.
Someone go check on him.
He has brought his team, Dilip 11, so far.
That looks like trouble.
He's batting at 94, and it looks like he's pulled a hamstring.
I'm sure he's disappointed, but he has played a brilliant innings.
What a knock!
You're absolutely right. Brilliant batting.
What a show. Unbelievable.
Every ball you want to hit a six.
I told you to take it easy. Now you've got a cramp.
Sorry, sir, I… I was trying to defend the ball.
I'll take a shower and I'll be fine.
Yeah, go on, hurry up! Come on, guys!
Good job. Keep going, keep going!
May I come in, sir?
And bowled him!
Another wicket goes down!
Sir.
There's still some time left. Check your paper.
Sir! Sir, sorry, sir.
Sir, please, sir. Sorry, sir.
Sir, did… did the selectors say anything?
They were impressed by your game, but I think you lack dedication.
You know how many players are fighting for the spot?
Not just batting, you need to field well too.
Are you… saying that they rejected me?
Go. Write more papers.
It was a mid-term, sir. I couldn't skip it.
Then stop playing cricket.
You've got selected.
I convinced them.
Sir…
-You're welcome. -Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Look, I won't be able to do this again. You get great exposure in this academy.
The Under-17 selectors keep an eye out for talent.
You need to take this seriously.
I also think you need to come clean with your father.
That's it, sir. That was our pitch. Thank you.
Nice. Very nice.
-We'll get back to you. -Thank you, sir.
-It went well, Prateek. -Hm.
So when are we flying back?
Hm? Why do you want to go back?
Well, we're done here, right? He said he'll get back.
This is just the beginning, Alakh.
-What? -Yeah.
He liked our pitch. That's why he said he'll get back.
What's wrong with you? Stop laughing.
-Come on. -Listen--
Alakh Pandey.
The Physics Wallah.
Frankly, it doesn't really sound like a brand to me.
Wallah!
The name you've chosen is raw, and real, and quite relatable!
You know, it sounds like the laundry guy.
-The milk man. -The fruit guy.
-The scrap guy. -The tea guy.
The matcha guy.
Really nice. I'm like… I'm in love with you guys.
But you know what? We're gonna open three more sister companies.
Bio Wallah.
Chemistry Wallah. Maths Wallah.
We… We are already teaching all these subjects.
Have you not seen our app yet?
You have an app as well?
You have to come and hug me.
Come to me. Come here, come here.
Don't they do their research?
Don't even think about it. That's the way they are.
They've invited us and they haven't even done their homework.
You guys have really set up a good business.
Yeah.
But when I invest in a business, I go all the way, my friend.
-We work exactly the same way. -You're not getting the point, son.
I will give you the funding,
but the equity, 51%.
But, sir… Prateek?
No problem, sir. Thank you.
No, the file.
EdTech is so 2015.
I'm more into the FinTech side of things.
Like bitcoin, crypto, that kind of stuff.
Oh, wait, eureka moment.
FinTech meets EdTech.
You guys invest a million. Fifty-fifty profit share.
Yeah? All right? No?
Absolutely. Thank you.
Hm.
So your primary hypothesis is
that if you guys manage to garner value for PW through funding,
your teachers will become loyal to you, and at the same time,
you will be able to hire and retain excellent employees.
Yes.
And during this time, you'll be able to focus on growth and expansion.
Hm. Exactly.
Did you guys notice something?
-Hm? -What?
Uh, these chips that I offered you are from Sweden, St. Edmund.
The most valued chip company in the world.
But what did you guys pick? The great Indian masala chips.
People are not loyal to value, guys.
They are loyal to brands.
You guys make Physics Wallah a brand,
and, uh, the teachers will become loyal.
Hm.
You know, brands sell dreams.
Every employee who joins a startup dreams that his company becomes a unicorn.
Correct.
I will do that for you.
I am offering you $100 million…
at a one-billion valuation.
What's wrong? Is it not enough?
Alakh, how much is one billion dollars in Indian rupees exactly?
You're the finance guy. You are asking me?
For calculation's sake, let's round off the value of the dollar at 80 rupees.
It's not the value of G that you are going to round off.
It's a matter of millions.
So we take a 1000 million and multiply it by 83.13 we get…
83.13 billion rupees?
Yeah.
We did it!
Hello, children!
Today we will be studying the world's most popular law.
-Hello? -Newton's third law.
I can't hear you.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Are you stupid?
Listen, Dad.
-Hello, Dad? -Yeah?
I'm trying to make a video. Can you keep it down?
Making a video? You haven't gone to work today?
-Did you not speak to Mom today? -About what?
I've quit my job. I will be teaching from home now.
Could you please go to the other room and talk?
Hello, children!
Today we'll be learning action force and reaction force.
What's going on here? What's this?
Have you lost your mind? Who teaches like this?
You quit such a good job and you are doing all this bullshit here?
What was wrong with your job?
It was not a good job. That's why I had to quit.
What was so bad?
They were charging a lot of money from students. My conscience didn't allow.
But every coaching class charges a fee! Those who can afford it, pay for it.
And people like us? People who are poor, what about them?
Shouldn't they also get a chance?
That's why I will be teaching on YouTube.
So you're going to do this nonsense?
Have you ever seen a beggar giving out charity to others?
Ridiculous!
What have you put here?
-Why have you put this mobile here? -Dad!
Get rid of it right away!
I want you to go to your boss right now and apologise to him.
Beg him to give you your job back. Tell him you won't do it again.
A college dropout sitting at home and doing nothing.
First become something, then go on and teach others!
Dad!
Just stop staring at me. And clean up this mess.
Now good luck with your teaching, sir.
Bloody idiot.
His students are bigger idiots.
Unbelievable!
I have a moron for a son.
Listen, Dad, please.
This is the first and last time I am requesting you.
You want to make fun of me, please go ahead.
But don't you say anything about my children.
-What children? Who watches your videos? -Students watch my videos.
Just two people watch. Your mom and sister, that's it.
And if anyone happens to watch them, they'll end up just like you.
An absolute failure.
-He thinks he's some big time teacher. -Oh, yeah?
Like you've achieved some great success, Mr. Pandey?
What?
The seepage that's making our paint pop out of the walls.
You know what these patches represent?
They are certificates of your success.
They look like modern art, so maybe that's why we don't get it.
There are only two things famous about Allahabad.
One is the Sangam,
and the other is your amazing success story.
Every month when Kripal comes to collect interest from you,
he doesn't come for the money.
He probably comes to take a dip in the Sangam
and take your blessings!
And sings praises of your success story in front of the whole neighbourhood.
You, as a person, are such a rarity
that you choose to walk three kilometres to save two rupees,
so you could buy one kilo of sugar.
No wonder we are such sweet people!
My mother teaches in a school for just 800 rupees a month.
We survive because of my sister's salary.
These extravagant circumstances we have are only because of your success story!
What a great man you are!
Look, whatever we have is enough.
If you had to sleep on the streets and eat out of a garbage can,
you'd understand the value of what we have and respect me as a provider.
Don't glamorise poverty by seasoning it with the salt of your emotions.
Take off the blindfold of your ego
and try to see where we were and where we have ended up.
"Where we have ended up"? You are talking about that house?
Now let me tell you one thing clearly. That house which I sold belonged to me.
It wasn't yours that you are crying about it.
You really want to play yours and mine? Huh?
All right.
Every penny that you've spent on me ever since I was born till today,
underwear, T-shirt, soap, oil, toothbrush, toothpaste,
make a list of everything.
I am going to pay you back everything with interest.
And I'll get it printed in the papers
that Satish Pandey and Alakh Pandey are not related to each other.
You are not my father, and I am not your son!
Yeah, yeah, I am nobody, I am nothing. You just magically dropped out of the sky.
-Yes! -What is wrong with you?
-Dropped down like Newton's bloody apple. -Enough! Stop creating a scene, Alakh.
-Everybody can hear you out on the street. -I… don't want to live in this house.
He is driving me crazy.
Driving him crazy?
People are right. A jobless son in the house is useless.
I don't want to be a burden.
Have you gone crazy? This house is mine. I pay the rent. You know that.
-You hear that? -Okay, no problem.
Live here, be happy. We are leaving.
What are you doing? It's our festival today.
Both of you are ruining it.
Stop fighting like children. Enough now.
-Tell him, not me. -You come with me.
I don't know what's going on in his head.
What is wrong with you? Calm down.
I stuck my mobile onto this. I was teaching the students.
Look what he's done.
-Still ungrateful. -Sit down.
-Just relax. Calm down. -He is acting very weird these days.
-Relax. -He had a good job.
Now he's quit that job and doing this nonsense?
Stop fighting like this.
He is saying these… these flakes are because of me. I am responsible.
-What have I done? -Just let it go.
-I'm his father. -Why don't you understand?
-He is trying to-- -I've done nothing in my life?
Enough.
Please.
Let's do the planning, Prateek.
We can only do the execution once the funds come in.
Of course.
I hope Physics Wallah will now be able to reach many more students.
So true.
Sir! Sir, sir, sir.
I heard we are going to become a unicorn? Is it true?
Oh, man, this is great!
Listen, till we have the term sheet in hand,
this news is limited to the core team.
-Nobody else can find out about this. -Okay, sir.
Yeah, Aditi.
What happened?
No, just… just calm down. I can't understand what you are saying.
On my way. I'm coming.
What happened?
Prateek, my father. I have to go home and see him.
Dad, if I join the academy, then I'll play Under-19, then for India.
Dad, if I join the academy, then I'll play Under-19…
Rishabh.
Sit down.
How are your studies going?
It's all going well, Dad.
Things were a little rocky for a while,
but I'm catching up now.
You've been playing cricket since you were little.
Have I ever stopped you?
Did I put any conditions? When to play, who are you going to play with,
why do you need a certain bat. Have I stopped you from anything?
You know why?
Because I never wanted your childhood to be taken away from you.
But now, enough is enough.
These next two years will set the tone for the rest of your life.
That's why…
you need to stop playing cricket right away.
But, Dad…
Mom…
You can play once in a while, but not every day. Hm?
The doctor said that there's nothing to worry about.
His ECG and other reports are normal.
He said that Dad needs to cut down on sugar intake and exercise regularly.
Well, if it was nothing, why did you call me, Aditi?
I had to travel all night to get here.
He was in a lot of pain, Alakh. Both of us panicked.
Thank God it was just acidity.
You would have panicked too.
You know, right? How busy I am nowadays, huh?
Don't call me for trivial things. He had acidity and you called me.
He's our father.
I think you have forgotten that, Alakh.
Yeah, I send money for him, Aditi.
And we have enough of that now.
What, do you expect me to sit at home?
Stop saying such things.
I'm sorry. I said it because I was angry.
But what's the point now? You've already done the damage.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Smile now. Smi--
Who smiles like that?
-Come on. -Uncle is getting on my nerves!
-Who's that? -He keeps calling.
He's really stressing me out. It's Moni's wedding.
-He's saying, "Bring Alakh this time." -What?
Oh, so now I am family?
"Please bring Alakh this time." I am not going there.
I know that. And we are not going as well. Who's going to look after Dad?
No, why are you guys cancelling your plans now?
It's been a while since Mom has met her brother.
What about Dad?
-I'll stay for four days. -Four days?
Yeah. I'll fix his acidity and then leave.
Hm. No, enough.
Listen, Alakh, you know someone met your dad the other day.
He recognized him as the father of Physics Wallah.
Don't you remember we met him at the pharmacy?
He said that his son has taken the course but doesn't study.
What was his name? His son's name?
Rishabh Negi.
Yeah, Rishabh Negi. Look into it.
I'll look into it.
Bye.
Good morning. Here's the weather for today.
The city is experiencing a heat wave.
But the good news is that humidity is not that high.
Today's maximum temperature is expected to go as high as 45 degrees Celsius,
and the lowest temperature is expected to be around 28 degrees Celsius.
Hello? Yeah, Shivangi.
Great timing with the phone call.
-Why, sir? -No, no, nothing.
Sir, you heard the news?
Hey, Prateek, Sanyam, how did this news get leaked?
Sir, I'm not sure how it got out, but we know for sure we didn't leak it.
Alakh, the investor universe is actually really small.
It's not difficult for the media to get a whiff.
I don't think there's anything to worry about.
Exactly. And if someone has a problem, let them have a problem.
I mean, this investment news has done a ton of good for us.
We've hit the ball out of the park.
Okay, listen, Shivangi, there's a student who lives right next to my house.
I want you to get his performance report for me.
What was his name?
Sir, after this unicorn news, we're getting a lot of hiring enquiries.
All those people who rejected us earlier are taking a U-turn and coming back, sir!
Sir, 17 teachers have withdrawn their resignations.
They're saying, "Don't give us an increment,
just a stake in the company."
"After all, PW is like home."
Did you get the term sheet?
Yes. I just had a chat with Aviral.
They'll send it once the formalities are completed.
Okay. Until then, make sure we don't release any statements from our side, hm?
And even in the office, keep it on the down-low.
You don't need to worry at all.
No one from our team will say a word to anyone.
No, no.
I won't tell anyone.
Yeah, Shivangi. Yeah, yeah, I saw that. And the vertical is clear.
And Rishabh's report is okay now?
Sir, his attendance is good, but…
But what?
Nice batting. You play really well.
I see you're attending online classes regularly,
and your cricket practice is going well too.
You play well on both pitches.
You just… You just had to answer the quiz and you wouldn't have got caught.
Look, before you come up with excuses, let me make something clear.
I am not here to school you. I am here to solve your problem.
I'll let you know when I have something concrete to show.
And by when will you have something concrete?
If I get into the academy, then I'll play for Under-17 for sure.
And if everything works out, I will play Under-19 as well.
I'll make it in a couple for years.
In a couple of years?
By then you would've lost your wicket, Rishabh.
I'll manage everything somehow.
Do you remember the formula for kinetic energy?
Yes, sir. 1/2mv2.
Let's assume you have some energy, hm? It has to be limited.
For now, let's say its 1,000 joules.
With that if you push two boats which are five kilos each,
what would be their velocity?
Sir, five plus five.
1000 into 2, 2000.
Divided by square root of 200. Around 14 meters per second.
That's amazing. Without a pen and a paper.
Now the same energy on one boat?
That means only the square root of 400? 20 meters per second.
Now the difference in the speed between both is six.
So multiply it.
How much time did you say you will take? One or two years?
For now, let's say it's two years.
So 2 into 365 into 6.
How much is it?
What happened? The number is too big for you?
I think you'll need a pen and a paper now.
See, Rishabh, you remember the formulas,
you scored well in the 10th grade,
and your father thinking that you will make a good doctor one day is not wrong.
That's why he's put you in a boat that takes you to med school.
But you already had a boat of your own, cricket.
So now it's your choice.
You want to sail in one and go fast or slow?
That's why they say you should never keep your feet in two different boats.
You have to choose one.
Sir, I know for sure. I just want to play cricket.
But who lets you choose your own boat?
Anyway, I'm doing all this for my dad.
I don't want him to feel that I didn't try hard enough.
Then sit and talk to him. Convince him.
You can tell the whole world that you want to be a cricketer one day,
but you can't tell your father?
Sir, talking to your dad is not the easiest thing.
I just want to play cricket.
My dad runs a pharmacy in town.
His finances are sorted.
So my cricket doesn't put pressure on him.
I have no clue if I'm ever going to play for India or not.
But I have to keep trying, right?
So present your case. Tell him all this. Talk to him.
Don't worry. I'll come with you when you talk to him, yeah?
But it's important that you speak. All right?
Unicorn! Unicorn!
-Unicorn! -Sir, the term sheet is here!
You've become a unicorn even before the company's become a unicorn!
Sir, Aviral has stolen our hearts.
He has told us we don't need to change the fees.
We are a unicorn now, sir!
Congratulations.
Alakh, their team has suggested that
we need to remove all our free courses from, like, everywhere.
But those… The students who study for free,
what happens to them?
Sir, that's just a perception. We have also done an internal survey.
95% of the students who are studying for free
don't have any problem.
And the 5% who will have a problem, what about them?
So… …I suggest let's review this thoroughly.
Once you get back, we'll go over it.
I have something to finish here. I'll be back soon.
Okay, sure.
-Okay. -Bye.
Alakh!
-Listen, you've packed everything? -Yeah. I put it all in the bag.
Kavita!
Hey, hey! Weren't you guys supposed to come tomorrow?
I saw it on the news. PW is a unicorn now?
No, Aditi, it's just a rumour. Nothing's final yet.
Okay, Mom, where's Dad's prescription?
We bought the medicines on the way back from Rishabh's father's pharmacy.
His, uh, shop is in Shastri Nagar, right? I'm going to meet him tomorrow.
And who told you that?
Nobody. I wanted to meet him.
I meant, who told you that he owns the store?
What do you mean?
What's up, sir? We're meeting today?
-You were supposed to come home tomorrow. -Come on, sit. I'll explain.
Come on, come on.
"Gauri Medical."
Why would he open a pharmacy 20 kilometres away from home?
Because the rent is lower, and he's been here since the beginning.
You must be here regularly to help your father out, right?
Not at all. He doesn't let me.
-Why? -He says, "You need to study."
"Become a doctor."
Sometimes I help him out on Sundays.
-When does he come back home? -In the morning.
It's a 24/7 pharmacy, so…
Your father doesn't own this shop, Rishabh.
He only works over here.
Look.
One job after another.
He works two jobs a day so that he can make ends meet.
Where are you going?
My dad has been lying to us.
Didn't you lie to him as well?
Don't you go to the academy to play cricket?
Huh?
Don't you call your mother.
I think she already knows.
I think they are only lying to you for your own good.
Maybe because they didn't want you to feel that you are any less.
Have you heard the story of Bali in the Ramayana?
When Bali used to go to war,
then half of his opponent's strength used to get transferred into Bali.
But the exact opposite happens to all poor people.
As soon as someone poor tries to enter a competition,
he feels disadvantaged and out of place,
and, hence, loses half his strength.
And today whatever you have,
school, coaching, cricket,
your father has somehow managed all of this for you.
And he's done it well.
See, I didn't want to tell you all this,
but you would have found out the truth sooner or later.
So it's better to know before it's too late.
He thinks that you're still a child.
But I believe that you are sensible guy.
You're quite mature.
And I won't suggest that you…
become a doctor just because of your situation.
Look, even I followed my dreams like a madman.
How could I ever ask you to not do the same?
But, yeah,
you did believe that there's no risk, right?
The risk is there.
That risk is now yours.
So the choice will also be yours.
One more thing.
In case you decide to chase after your dreams,
then do it with all your heart.
I want you to have this.
And if you decide to choose responsibility over your dreams,
then please attend classes.
And, yes, you need to tell your father the truth, okay?
I think he deserves it. Hm?
I'll see you in a few days.
Yeah, you mean to say after a month.
Mom, there's a lot going on there. I'll tell you about it, okay?
All right.
Take care.
God bless you.
Dad's at home.
Uh, I'm leaving.
What?
So soon?
Wait. I wanted to talk to you.
Yeah, sure.
Uh, no, not here.
-Let's go for a walk. -I have a flight to catch.
Yeah, but… I won't take too long.
Come.
You seem a little worried since yesterday.
Did something happen at work?
No. Nothing out of the ordinary. Something is always up.
You should talk to me. You'll feel better.
I've got this offer. It seems nice.
Mm-hm.
A lot of our problems will be solved, but then…
It doesn't match with my ideology.
Yeah, it makes sense.
So what have you decided?
I don't feel like taking it.
But there are other people in the team.
They also have dreams. We'll see.
What did you want to talk about?
It's just…
I mean, the other day I felt unwell.
I got a sudden pain in my chest so…
I panicked.
That day I felt that there is so much to be said between us.
Sometimes, things remain unsaid between a father and a son.
I don't want that to happen to us, Alakh.
Dad, what are… What are you trying to say? Nothing will happen to you.
It will, one day or the other.
Alakh, now you have become a big man. And I am a nobody.
Maybe that's why I never understood what you wanted to achieve
and how capable you actually are.
I have lost so many times in my life
that I started hating everything.
And I took it all out on you.
I never tried to encourage you.
Please forgive me, son.
All that is in the past now, Dad.
Nobody knew then.
And…
at that time, there was help that was needed that I…
couldn't really provide for us.
No, no, no. That's not true.
I'm the one who failed to fulfil his duties as a father.
But you have fulfilled every responsibility as a son.
And I could never tell you how… how proud I am of you.
When we got to the hospital,
that's all I could think about.
And since you've been home,
I've wanted to tell you all this.
But I couldn't.
Uh… just let it go, Dad.
And I was also to blame, right?
I've never been there for you and Aditi had to handle everything alone.
No, no, no. Don't worry about all that. We'll take care of it.
But this one thing that you have done,
the way you help people who are less fortunate than you…
Now we are not your family, those children are your family.
Spend time with them.
And you have done the right thing by not listening to anyone
and chasing your dreams.
You always followed your heart.
Don't ever change, my son.
Don't ever change.
I am proud of you.
Listen, Dad.
I'm sorry.
Don't say that, son. Never say that.
You are doing a great job.
It's very noble.
You don't worry about us at all. Okay?
Alakh is here.
-Hi, sir. -Hello, sir.
So what's up? All good?
No, it's not, Prateek.
We need to talk about the term sheet.
To be a unicorn, to get funding…
these were my dreams too.
But along with that, we do have some responsibilities.
We have to take care of those 5% children. They're all depending on us.
Right.
So Aviral said
that the free courses clause is going to be, uh, non-negotiable.
This is Aviral and his company's stand.
The only thing that matters to me is what my team is thinking.
Sir, we can't take decisions emotionally.
Sir, we break things. We move fast.
There are decisions that we have to take as a start-up.
At least we will be able to teach the rest of the 95% students better.
It's very simple.
Funding means the best teachers and create a top product,
not just for India, but for the whole world.
It's a win-win for the students.
Wouldn't you also want to create some new tools and products?
But we are always in doubt if we'll be able to do it or not.
But these problems don't exist any more.
Sir, I know that this sounds too far-fetched right now,
but in the long run, it will make sense.
How?
Because, sir, it's just 4,000 rupees.
It's a nominal cost. Anybody can afford that.
Uh… 20,000?
Listen, just take care. Look, the wheel is already broken.
Okay. It's fine. It's fine.
What's going on here, Aditi?
The people we mortgaged the house to have found a buyer.
And what about us?
We'll rent a place. What else?
They can't afford it, Sanyam.
I couldn't afford it.
Those…
Those 5% students who are unsure,
a lot of those children's parents are daily wage workers.
Which means they make an average of 120 rupees per day.
Fifty for food, fifty for their home,
and the 20 rupees that they have left, they save bit by bit to buy our course.
They work for 200 days to be able to afford it.
Okay, tell me this.
How many problems does a good student solve in a day?
-Forty? -Roughly around 50.
-Right? -Mm-hm.
Which means 50 into 200.
That student will be able to solve 10,000 less problems.
This clearly means that the rank that this student actually deserves
will drop by at least 10,000 positions.
That's too low.
We make one wrong decision here today,
and all those students will get affected.
If any of you are willing to take the responsibility
of pushing these students behind,
then I'll gladly sign the term sheet.
Listen, Prateek,
maybe not today, but we will be a unicorn tomorrow
and fulfil our dreams.
But in a rush, and blindness to fulfil my dream,
I will not ignore my responsibility.
Yeah, you all have a say in the matter too.
So whatever decision you make here today, you just let me know.
I'll be here, right outside.
But my vote is a "no". side.
