knowhow which has yielded enormous revolution in the online learning.
Online Learning encompasses a variety of technologies like the worldwide web, email, chat,
new groups and texts, audio and video conferencing delivered over computer networks to
impart education. It helps the learner to learn at their own pace, according to their own
convenience. Online Education requires a great deal of resources and careful planning. In this,
teachers act as facilitators instead of transmitters of content knowledge, and ICT is considered
resource that enhances the training experience of scholars. Learners learn through e-learning
tools which are available to all. E-Learning has brought back the enjoyment in learning through
its innovative and interactive content delivery and has proved to be more appealing among
students.

CHAPTER – 2
(ORGANISATION OVERVIEW)
Originated in 2018, Whitehat Jr is an ed-tech podium that teaches students coding, math  and lots of other
subjects through one-on-one video classes with instructors. The start-up has been in news ever since EdTech
unicorn BYJU’S acquired it for USD 300 million.
Started in 2018 by Karan Bajaj, Whitehat Jr offers AI courses for children of age 6 to fourteen years.
Whitehat Jr aims to authorize children so that they view themselves as creators.
The app helps children learn computer programming and encourages them to create games, animations,
applications and more. The start-up works with a live one-on-one online teaching format and a thoroughly
researched curriculum. The subjects range from arrangement , app and game development to machine
learning and space technology.
It offers four levels of courses -- beginner, intermediate, advanced and professional -- for students in grades
1-12. The Mumbai-based startup currently has over 7,000 teachers on its platform.

WhitehatJr Acquisition -
Byju’s, which is esteemed at USD 8 billion per a report, said coding is fast developing as a key skill for the
future and the purchase will help it enlarge offerings in the US and India. Byju’s made substantial
investments in Whitehat’s technology platform and merchandise innovation, while expanding the teacher
base to cater to demand from new markets, the statement said.
Recently, WhiteHat Jr said it is storming up its women-only teacher base in India, adding about 220 teachers
a day and plans to have about 20,000 tutors on its platform by year end. The ongoing ramp-up is to match
the growing base of students across multiple countries including India, the US, Canada, the UK, Australia,
and New Zealand, a statement said.

Mission - Our aim is to become one of the most preferred education technology platforms across the globe.

Vision - We believe in the power of one-to-one learning that addresses every child's learning needs, allows
students to be holistically involved in their education and be active, lifelong learners.

Values – Innovation

Work Culture –
Work culture is a straightforward requirement to sustain and grow in a company. Companies like Google
and Tesla are known for his or her "Chill" work environment, where the employee's psychological state is
given a priority. Many office settings are choosing an off-the-cuff environment for better productivity. The
results are assertive.
The company absences an ethical HR structure to furnish to the problems raised by employees. With abusive
leaders/managers and excess unpaid clocked time, employees have quit in a span of just two to three months
of joining. Parents who were forced into buying the products say that the salespersons were aggressive and
called incessantly.
Whitehat jr offers a handsome amount of 4 lacs once a year package for entry level joiners who enter the
organization as freshers. However, employees have shown utter dismay stating that the figure quoted to
them during the interview was a faux figure and the actual remuneration is below expectations. BDAs seem
to be the foremost disappointed across all the departments within the company.
Many reviews on several job portals point towards a bad and unsustainable work life. Employees who have
quit whitehat jr have shed some light over how the EdTech company is entirely focused on generating
revenues.
Others suggest that the company is fast paced and expects prompt delivery from its employees. People have
fewer complaints as we climb higher within the organizational structure. If we were to mix all the
feedback, the typical answer would be that the BDAs are under harsh scrutiny and therefore the work
environment is nothing but toxic.
While most companies try unconventional methods to form office hours to be less intimidating, Whitehat jr
- India's largest EdTech is trapped during a row for having the worst work culture. Employees who have quit
have allegedly accused it for having a horrible work environment.
Originated in 2018, Whitehat Jr is an ed-tech podium that teaches students coding, math and many
other subjects through one-on-one video classes with instructors. The start-up has been in news ever
since EdTech unicorn BYJU’S acquired it for USD 300 million.
CHAPTER – 3
(INDUSTRY ANALYSIS)
PESTLE ANALYSIS

Economic Result - Hit rigid by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Indian economy is probable to
contract by 40% by Q1 of 2021, and the GDP is imaginary to shrink by 4% during the current
financial year. The Pandemic has taken a toll on the unemployment rate, which rose from 6.7%
in March 2020 to 26% by May 2020. Around half of the businesses in the country are likely to
be squeezed drastically.
Amongst this vagueness, the industry that grew meaningfully was the EdTech industry due to
constant and weighty investment by Government, Pupils, Professionals, Educators, and Parents
globally. In India, the Nationwide Lockdown has substantially boosted the EdTech industry as
tutoring goes online. During this era , the EdTech industry has successfully doubled its user
base from about 45 Million in 2019 to 90 Million in 2020. It is also projected that the industry
will keep
rising at a CAGR of 52% and become a 2-billion-dollar industry by 2021. The details for this
growth are
1. Upsurge in the use of the internet and smartphones and their deep infiltration into Indian
households.
2. EdTech podiums are cost- effective and have the capability to serve a wide base of audience.
3. Constructing on the hypothesis that people acquire more by seeing rather than merely
reading from the textbook.
Whitehat jr, better known as BYJU’S sister concern, is India’s fastest growing EdTech
platform. Byju. Whitehat jr. witnessed a 100% grown rate in the past three years. The major
investors are Bond Capital, Tiger Global, General Atlantic, Naspers, Sequoia Capital India,
Tencent, Lightspeed Ventures. Whitehat jr. believes in aggressive marketing strategy, and
given the Pandemic, Whitehat jr. offered free access to their coding and math class. This
change was successful in attracting 13.5 million users in April and May 2020 alone.
BYJU’S is also now expanding its market by getting into teaching programming and coding
with the recent acquisitions of White-Hat Junior for 300-million-dollars. With the acquisition
of OSMO for 120- Million- Dollars BYJU’S, an online educational gaming platform, it is
trying to tap the market segment with students from age 3-8.

Political/Legal - As Whitehat jr is set to enhance its existence in global English speaking


marketplaces such as the US and the UK, the political aspect is expected to become more
complex for the company. Specially, the US and UK are going through an unbalanced political
environment, credits to presidential elections and US-China rivalry in the US and Brexit in the
UK. In India, There has been a positive outlook from the side of the government. New National
Education Policy by the present government has shifted the winds for the EdTech Industry.
Following are the various components of NEP 2020 which are going to affect whitehat jr. -
1. Academic Bank of Credit
2. Digital Infrastructure
3. Coding offering.
Thus, the political aspect of the macro-environment analysis of Whitehat jr. indicates that
it has an extraordinary opportunity to grow and expand in India. However, it
should be careful of the complications in the political environment as it tries to enter
the international market.

Socio-Cultural – Whitehat jr. is an informative technology and online learning platform which
is based on graphic and interactive learning. According to the Social Science Research,
65 percent of the world population are visual learners. Many scientific journals also estimate
that visual learning can improve retention capacity up to 400 percent. These are some of the
reasons why whitehat jr started with the visual learning concept.
They wanted to transform the culture of Education in India from memorization to active
holistic learning. Initially, they started teaching coding, But soon found out that to be best
effective with the visual interactive learning concept, they need to target the segment where
learning capacity is the maximum and who are flexible enough to shift towards a web platform
quickly. India has one of the lowest Teacher-Student ratios as 1:35, and whitehat jr have used
the online platform to provide quality teachers to each and every user keeping the ratio of 1:1.
Apart from this, they uses data science to understand the student's needs and ensures a very
personalized learning experience. So a mix of visual interactive learning, quality teachers,
personalized experience has made it the most important ed tech company within the world. It
has also started a replacement revolution in India where parents want their children to find
out by doing and seeing instead of just memorizing reflected by the very fact that RedSeer and
Omidyar Network India limited estimated that India's ed-tech market will touch $3.5B by 2022.
Apart from changing how education is perceived in Urban India, Whitehat jr have also been
reaching the Indian rural population. Initially, it focused on urban parents who were seeking  a
customized learning experience for his or her children, but with data being so cheap and
therefore the growth within the number of Smartphone users in India it became a
really accessible tool to find out for youngsters belonging to rural parts of India also and with a
fanatical effort from the corporate in maximizing it,
The Indian education system goes through a change evident by the new Education bill where
practical, interactive learning is given utmost importance. Technology is additionally rapidly
evolving, and other people are becoming quick access to handheld devices like smartphones.
With this changing scenario and being the most important ed-tech company, Whitehat jr finds
itself during a very exciting position. It is not only changing the culture of education in India
but also stimulating social change by giving access to higher education for children from rural
India and enabling girls to learn from the comfort of their homes. In this way, playing a major
role in Indian Socio- Cultural spectrum.
PORTER’S FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS

Threat from Competition – E-learning podiums are the upcoming businesses and the buzz word in
the time of pandemic. The pandemic has forced almost all forms of education to move online. It has
made us realize that traditional classroom teaching can be, to some extent, substituted by online
learnings. The option of online learning helps people to own pace and convenience. It can also be
suitable for professionals who are looking for skill enhancement, without the need to leave their job
and joining a traditional school. Online education has seen a massive boost since lockdown, and
almost all the online platforms have made their content available for free in the lockdown. Even
in a challenging environment, EdTech is expected to be a very hot sector for VC investment,
according to a KPMG report. India's Ed-Tech is expected to north of 2 billion dollars by the end of
2022. If this does happen, the Indian education sector can change forever. Affirming this is the fact
that EdTech start-ups have raised more than 20 Million Dollars since May 2020. Keeping this in
mind, the threat from existing competitors has been exponentially in the current scenario.
Whitehat jr. has some strong competitors both in International markets and in Indian
markets. One of the biggest rivals is Unacademy.
Finally, the Indian Ed Tech sector is highly competitive. It is expected to be even
more competitive due to new and established players receiving higher funding
levels in the latest capital raising rounds.

Buyer Power - Indian students traditionally have had low options in terms of available educational
tools online. The Internet is a relatively newer technology in India, with its popularity rising only
early 2000s. Ed-Tech has even been slower to make its mark in the
Indian market. One of the early Ed-tech companies in India was Meritnation, founded in the second
half of the first decade of 2000. Since the early 2007s, several startups have popped in the Indian
educational market, providing educational resources online. The amalgamation of Technology and
education was initially seen with a skeptical lens. It was in the early 2010s that the sector started
attracting a lot of attention both from users and investors. Since then, in terms of Individual buyers,
there has a proliferation of Ed-Tech companies and has provided buyers with some degree of
freedom of choice. This has empowered buyers and, thus, has forced companies to compete for
market share through pricing and product differentiation. It has a unique selling point of employing
Artificial Intelligence-based technologies and interactive learning. Whitehat jr at the same point is
still collaborating with Disney to launch an early learning app to tap into the potential market. The
availability of such platforms has increased the buyer’s power as the cost of switching to an
alternative platform is also generally low, and the process is easy to follow.

In terms of Business to Business buyers, the lack of such a framework for B2B by Whitehat jr will
be a major disadvantage, especially with the entry of players like Udemy and Coursera into the
Indian market. In this sector, the buyers have a low power due to the lack of options.

Supplier Power – is high, the main suppliers to the company are the teachers. The need and
demand of quality teachers have increased many folds recently. The pool of teachers available also
shrinks due to the platform used by Whitehat jr. Since, a lot of teachers are uncomfortable with the
online mode of teaching and aren’t tech savvy, the demand for those who are, has increased. This
gives them high bargaining power.

Finally, all the suppliers to Whitehat jr are present in a market where their services are in high
demand and are expected only to grow in the future. This gives suppliers more bargaining power
and thus higher over power.

Threat of New Entrants - The Indian education industry is the largest in the world, with about 1.1
million government schools, 3,50,000 private schools, 40,000 colleges, and 9000 universities. Today
the largest player in the education industry is technology. Technology brings in a newer model of
learning while also restructuring the conventional models. Indian EdTech industry has a user base of
over 90 million customers in 2020. BYJU’S is one of the largest and oldest market players in the
EdTech industry, with a vast and robust customer base of 57 million downloads and 3.5 million paid
users. According to a report by KPMG, the EdTech industry is expected to grow eight folds to a 2-
billion-dollar sector by 2021.

The threat of new entrants helps us in understanding how the new market players
will affect the existing market players in the EdTech industry. The factors facilitating
new entrants into the market are Government policies, cheaper alternatives, the
better quality of material, and lack of brand loyalty. The programs like Digital India,
Skill India, emphasis on vocational training, and the new education policy has
increased the investment in the EdTech industry. The new entrants and their current
market valuations are: WonderSchool launched in 2016 with a current 24.1 million,
Toppr launched in 2013 with a current valuation of 108 million, Udacity launched in
2011, Udemy launched in 2010 with an existing user base of 50 million.
Whitehat jr can tackle the threat of new entrants by working on increasing the brand
image and brand loyalty by improving their customer relationship management. It
can work on building a long-term contractual relationship with distributors to widen
its target marketplace. It can continuously invest in research and development
activity, using the feedback received through its customers to keep the content up to
date and cost-effective.

Threat of Substitutes –

The easy availability of substitutes makes the EdTech environment highly


competitive for Whitehat jr and its competitors.
The threat of substitution for Whitehat jr is comparatively less because of its vast and
robust customer base, brand loyalty, superior content, higher switching cost to
alternatives, and continued investment in the research and development, leading to
better technology and user experience. It has continuously expanded its target
audience and ventured into different territories keeping in mind the current academic
requirement and trends.

SWOT ANALYSIS
BCG MATRIX

Dogs - The artificially flavoured product business was launched recently by Whitehat jr to diversify
their products, but the market research was not done carefully.

Cash Cows - The supplier management premeditated unit of Whitehat jr has been profitable. It has
gained trust in the market with a enormous chunk of market share being a by- product. Investment
can be made, but only after it is sure that the companies are outsourcing their logistics. It does not
seem the case, hence keeping the status quo is the right way ahead.

Star - In the BCG matrix, Stars stand for that business where a company has a considerably large
market share, and the business's industry is also growing at a fast pace. For Whitehat jr coding
classes, strategic business is the Star according to the BCG matrix.
In general, the business shows good potential for growth in the future because the consumers are
demanding more products like music, and Whitehat jr also earns a considerable profit from it.
Ideally, to grow further, Whitehat jr needs to focus on increasing and investing considerably in
product and development that will give rise to new products.

Question Mark - The question mark stands for a business where growth potential is high, but the
company has a small market share. For Whitehat jr, the strategic business unit is a
question mark. The learning can invest more in research and development to create unique products
and gain market share, which can be a great strategy.

(RESEARCH METHODOLOGY)
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem, as to
how research is done scientifically. It consists of the different methods that generally adopted
by researcher to study his research problem along with logic behind them. It is necessary for
the researcher to develop certain tests.
Marketing research specifies the information required to address these issues; designs
the method for collection information manages and implements the data collection
process; analysis the results and communication the findings and their implication.

Research Definition:

“Research is careful inquiry or examination to discover new information and relationship and
to expand and to verify exiting knowledge,” Research always starts with questions or
a problem. Its purpose is to find answer to questions through the application of the scientific
method. It is a systematic and intensive study directed towards a more complete knowledge of
the subject studies.

Methods adopted for the projects:

1. The Research Design is made as per the requirements of the project.


2. For the secondary data collection, internet is used.
3. For the primary data collection, we made questionnaire ad distribute that through social
media.
A sample is a gathering of people chosen from a bigger population. Every
observation estimates at least one properties of noticeable bodies recognized as free
articles or people. The examining procedure contains a few phases:
• Defining the number of inhabitants in
concern
• Specifying a testing outline, a lot of things
or occasions conceivable to quantify
• Specifying an inspecting strategy for choosing things or occasions from the
casing
• Determining the example measure
• Implementing the inspecting plan
• Sampling and information gathering
• Data which can be chosen

Source of Data

The sources of data collection methods are as follows: -

a) Primary data: -

The primary data is that which details we collect first time from the market and also used first
time in the research. We also say that the information is first time in the research decision.
Primary Data are the data is collected from direct sources using methods like surveys
or interview. It is gathered in light of the examination venture, directly from primary sources.
As we have collected responses from our surveys, now as per the result we will be analyzing
the factors impacting consumer perception towards digital payment system. Primary research
methods can be qualitative or quantitative in nature. Qualitative research aims to provide
insight and in-depth understanding of the problem, while quantitative research aims to
quantify the data by applying some form of statistical analysis

To collect the primary data questionnaire is prepared structure non-disguise questionnaire is


prepared.
Primary data: -Questionnaire

b) Secondary data: - Secondary data are those data which are already collected by
someone for some purpose and are available for the present study; secondary data are
already collected by the internet, journals, research papers and library’s books.
When the secondary data are sufficient, the researcher has to be satisfied with the
primary sources of data. Secondary data can be used as bases for comparison with primary
data have been collected by questionnaire. Secondary data can be grouped into three
distinct subgroups: narrative, various source, and review. Narrative second and
information comes in both composed and non-composed structure. The
information can be gathered from sources, for example, diaries, databases, transcripts and
so forth. This type of information is reliant on the entrance the specialist needs to it. Study
based auxiliary information is the information that is gathered through the overview
and is accessible as information table structures. Various source Secondary data
information n that has been assembled into narrative or study structure; the primary
qualities of this kind of information is that it has been changed into an alternate
structure before there searcher is surveying the information. The Secondary data that
we utilized for our exploration is information that has additionally lead to the finish
of which factors that will be inspected. The numerous source information that we have
utilized has been so as to pick which item we would use for our examination so as to have
the capacity to discover the item that is most broadly purchased over the Internet.

Secondary data: Websites, Books, E-Journals.


Primary data i.e. collected for the first time. It is fresh and originally collected by
the survey.
We have used only primary data in calculating the study and collect the data.

Data collection method

Sampling plan

Sampling is a process of obtaining. The information about the entire population by examine a
part of it. The effectiveness of the research depends on the sample size selected for the survey
purpose.
Sampling Unit: -

It means “Who is to be surveyed”. When researching an aspect of the human mind or


behaviour, we simply cannot collect data from every single individual in most cases. Instead,
we choose a smaller sample of individuals that represent the larger group. If the
sample is truly representative of the population in question, we as a researcher can then
take their results and generalize them to the larger group.
Sample size: -

For the purpose of proper survey, there is need of perfect research instruments to find out
sample size for more accurate result about consumer perception towards digital payment
system. There were 114 respondents.
Sampling Method: -

“Convenience sampling is the non-probability sampling techniques where subjects are


selected because of their convenient accessibility and proximity to the research”. It is
the easiest way to analyze the data.
Data Collection: -

The data will be collected from the respondents using questionnaire.

Data analysis: -

The data analysis will be divided in 2 parts.


First part: will include descriptive statistics
and Second part: will include inferential
statistics.

The questionnaire design:

The questionnaire has been prepared on the following lines:

First part - The questionnaire includes the entire relevant question so as to provoke

and elicit the data from the respondents in a brief manner.

Second part - There are some closed ended questions which are incorporated in the
questionnaire.
Third part - The questions were able to fully cover the themes
concerned.
2.8 Analysis of data through statistical tools
1. ANOVA
2. CHI- Square Test
3. Pie diagram
4. Bar diagram

Chi- Square Analysis: -

Chi-square test is a non- parametric test. It is used most frequently by marketing researcher to
test hypothesis. This is employed for testing hypothesis when distribution of population is not
known and when nominal data is to be analyzed.

ANOVA: -
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a statistical method used to test differences between two
or more means. It may seem odd that the technique is called "Analysis of Variance" rather
than "Analysis of Means." As you will see, the name is appropriate because inferences
about means are made by analyzing variance . whether the change in one variable
influences the change in the other variable. Not that the changes may likely to occur in both
directions namely: -
1. The increase in one variable is accompanied by the proportionate increase in the other
variable.
2. The increase in one variable causes the proportionate decrease in the other variable.
In the first cast the variable are said to be positively correlated, while in the second
case, the variable are said to be negatively correlated.
Bar Diagrams: -

Bar diagram consist of bars running either horizontally or vertically with an individual bar for
each observation. The individual bars have separate observations and magnitudes. They serve
the purpose of showing the rate of change in continuous data. More than two series of data may
be depicted by the use of bar diagrams. The positive and negative quantities also are
demonstrated with bar diagram.
Pie diagrams: -

The pie diagram is presented in a circle dividing the chart in different components according
to the need of the distinctive data. The slices of the circle are also noted with the name and
their percentage share in the total circle of 360 degrees.

Perception of transaction speed as well as digital payment systems. This result is supported by
the systematic study that has looked at the development. This study concludes that modern
technical technologies can meet consumer demands such as pervasiveness, speed, and
convenience and that legislation will be framed in such a way that the trust, protection, privacy,
and security of online learning systems will be enhanced. According to the findings of this
report, this evolution would benefit all parties participating in a transaction and it will alter the
user's view of online learning.
Thus, it can be stated that the alternate hypothesis is accepted.

square test. It denotes that there is insufficient reason to suggest that the observed distribution
differs from the predicted distribution. It is possible to infer that there is no association
regarding trustworthiness and online learning mechanisms. This result is supported by the
previous research that has used an analytical study to investigate the variables that influence
Gen-X consumers' preference for their degree of satisfaction. The researchers discovered that
effective use of digital learning among Gen- X consumers are dependent on esteem factors
such as trustworthiness, ease & advantages, protection, and privacy restrictions. Further
review of this study showed that Reliability and Convenience & Benefits variables have a strong
influence on Gen-X customer satisfaction, while protection affects their degree of satisfaction.
Thus, it can be stated that the alternate hypothesis is accepted.

CHAPTER – 7
(Conclusion)
After going through the pros & cons of Online Learning, it becomes difficult to give
judgement whether online Learning is a boon or bane. We are well aware about the positive
side of online learning but the harm it does to a person or the society as a whole need to be
debated upon. At present, we would like to conclude by saying that online learning is an
excellent option in education, particularly when there are hindrances to traditional learning
situations. For example, some people wish to continue their formal education but do not live
within drivable distance of a college or university and don't find it feasible to commute daily.
With E-learning environments, students can maintain the teacher learner relationship from
different places at different times.

Teachers of E-leaning programs need to be trained in information technologies and internet


in order to be associated with their students in virtual classrooms. Additionally, they have to
have the ability to administer all applications successfully and to follow the developments in
pioneer countries in e-learning and distance learning. Models of E-learning that exclude any
face to face contact may have limited prospects, but blended learning offers significant
potential both on and off campus and should be pursued if the benefits of online learning are
to be fully realized. So, to minimize the negative impact of online learning, blended learning
can be provided at all levels of education.
