Skillarena is a legitimate, incubator-backed EdTech startup from Bennett University (India) with verifiable awards (WASME 2023) and a reported user base of ~100k (likely cumulative signups). However, the submission is plagued by unprofessional hyperbole ('most people have used my product'), confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 50000'), and inflated team size claims (350 employees vs. likely campus ambassadors). While the mission to upskill Tier 2/3 cities is valuable, the project's economic maturity is early-stage (estimated <$100k funding) compared to the submission's grandiose claims.
