Freshworks IPO is a seminal moment for India tech. ~30 years after Infosys ipo, we have graduated from global b2b services companies to global b2b product companies. Next milestone - ipo of a global B2C company from india.

Edtech takes itself too seriously. I have seen kids laugh in school (offline and online) - but not with any edtech product so far.
