Entrepreneur Ankur Warikoo shuts down profitable 100 crore courses business after five years, citing artificial intelligence as a major factor in the decision. Despite generating 100 crore in revenue and 25 crore in profits with over 5 lakh students, Warikoo announced the closure through a video on X, stating it no longer makes sense to continue. When asked if AI impacted the decision, he responded with one word: huge. The move has sparked widespread online speculation about the growing influence of AI on digital education and online learning platforms. Industry observers are now questioning the sustainability of traditional online course businesses as artificial intelligence tools reshape how people access educational content and learn new skills.
